Best Immunologist Stamford Near Me

4worldlovers: Welcome to our practice of allergy, asthma and immunology. With our large staff, appointments are usually available within a few days or a week for both established and new patients. We also offer telehealth services for those who would rather have their visit at home. Telehealth visits can be performed for all the usual problems such as sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, allergies, etc. Although other health care providers may “dabble” in treating allergies, our physicians are all fellowship trained, board certified allergists who work exclusively treating all forms of allergic disorders.

Some of our patients on Cigna have received a notice that we are no longer participating in this plan. We have participated with CIGNA for more than 20 years, however there is a glitch in the system and CIGNA is actively working to fix this. If you have any concerns, please call the office and if you have received any bills that were not processed correctly, please give them to our front desk and we will contact CIGNA for reprocessing. Sorry for any inconvenience.
