We at Allergic Disease and Asthma Center are doing our part to decrease the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).  Therefore, we are temporarily making changes to our schedules so that we may remain available to our patients while maintaining a healthy and safe clinic environment. 

Additionally, our E. Butler Rd. location will be closed on Wednesday afternoon through March 31, 2021. Each location has a modified schedule, so contact us at 864-627-3800 to see if your date is available.
