With over 30 years of combined medical practice and independent qualifications in allergic disease, Dr. Emily and Dr. Nikki joined forces to give the communities of Central Otago access to the latest, evidence-based care and treatments for their allergies. Between them they are also associate members of the Australasian society of clinical immunology and allergy ( ASCIA) and members of the New Zealand paediatric society special interest groups in allergy and eczema.
“We founded The Allergy Doctors to bridge the gap between the care available in our cities and rural communities."
“Allergies aren’t just physical. They can have a broad, and significant impact on all aspects of a sufferer’s quality of life - from restrictions to their diet, disruptions to their sleep, and the knock-on effect they can have on relationships. They can also cause a tremendous amount of anxiety to parents."
“We are here to help. The Allergy Doctors are committed to understanding the very latest in clinical data, therapies, and testing for allergic disease to enable us to treat our patients with the highest standards of professional care."
