Your Asthma Is Unique. Your Treatment Should Be Too.
One-size-fits-all approaches don't work for complex asthma.
At Advanced Asthma Clinic in Plantation, FL, we believe that successful asthma management begins with understanding YOUR specific asthma biology. Our personalized approach ensures that every treatment recommendation is tailored to your unique needs.
Our Personalized Approach
-
Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation, going beyond basic spirometry:
- Detailed medical and asthma history review
- Advanced pulmonary function testing (including lung volumes, diffusion capacity)
- Blood biomarker analysis (e.g., eosinophil count, IgE levels)
- Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurement
- Allergy and trigger identification specific to South Florida
- Quality of life assessment
-
Asthma Phenotyping
We determine your specific asthma type (phenotype) based on the underlying biological mechanisms:
- Type 2-High (TH2) vs. Non-Type 2 (Non-TH2)
- Eosinophilic vs. Neutrophilic vs. Paucigranulocytic
- Allergic vs. Non-allergic
- Identifying mixed phenotypes
-
Targeted Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment and phenotype, your personalized plan may include:
- Specific biologic therapy matched to your asthma biology
- Optimized inhaler regimen (correct medication AND technique)
- Allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) if appropriate
- Participation in clinical trials for innovative approaches
- Lifestyle modifications and trigger avoidance strategies
- Management of related conditions (e.g., GERD, sinusitis, sleep apnea)
-
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
Asthma can change over time, so we continuously track your progress:
- Regular lung function assessments
- Biomarker monitoring (blood tests, FeNO)
- Quality of life and symptom tracking
- Treatment adjustments as needed based on response
- Regular updates to your emergency asthma action plan
