About
Our team consists of respiratory, immunology and ENT surgical experts. We have a skilled group of technicians and researchers which contribute to this care.
All testing, including imaging of the nose and sinuses, is performed on site. Where further non-allergy investigations may be required, the members of the team are specialists at St Vincent’s Hospital and can provide ongoing care via both inpatient and outpatient facilities of the hospital.
