"Dr. Dooms is very knowledgeable about current advances in allergy care. I've seen multiple allergists in 3 different states. Testing for allergies and the administration of immunotherapy shots is pretty routine with the allergists that have treated my allergies. What is different for the treatment of allergies in the last several years are a number of new treatments that have been introduced. I've found that Dr. Dooms has been able to provide me with a lot of insight to help me determine whether these new treatment options are right for my needs."

Dr. Jon Welch is a Bellevue, WA physician who specializes in allergy & immunology. He is a graduate of Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport.

"Dr Jon E Welch is one of the worst doctors I have ever had to work with. The only reason I'm even giving a 1 star is because of the fact that he detected and diagnosed me with a disease that no other doctor detected. On the other hand it's like I'm dealing with a child. Every test, every lab result came in a timely manner. Dr Welch however did NOT call to inform me. I had to call the lab, make sure the results were in call him (who is never reachable!) deal with his nurses and wait for a call back. I don't ever get calls back still!! So it takes days sometimes weeks and it gets to the point where I'm demanding emergency appointments to be able to get to talk to him. I have caught him in numerous lies, trying to blame his untimeliness and his mistakes on the cancer institute where I now have to go to for ivig treatment. The treatment orders are unreadable by the nurses there and this last time I was unable to even receive a much needed infusion! His order were incomplete and incomprehensible to the nurses and I was denied treatment. I'm also going to add that he is one of the few doctors who REFUSE to be contacted after hours. So when I need a treatment order clarified, I was denied treatment due to the fact that his orders didn't make sense and he was un reachable. REALLY??? I was not able to get my monthly infusion??? That's getting close to malpractice. Do not get mixed up in the incomprehensible MADNESS of Dr WELCH!!!!!"

What is Allergy & Immunology?

A physician who specializes in allergies, asthma, and other disorders of the immune system is called an allergist-immunologist or simply an allergist. Allergic reactions can cause a huge number of symptoms in the body, and allergy-immunology specialists treat a wide variety of problems, including:

Allergies affecting the respiratory tract, such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or asthma.
Allergies affecting the skin, such as eczema, hives, welts, and allergic rashes.
Adverse reactions to substances such as foods, drugs and vaccines, or stinging insects.
Autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. Some examples are rheumatoid arthritis, where the immune system attacks the joints; celiac disease, where the lining of the small intestine is damaged; and Sjogren's syndrome, where the glands producing tears and saliva are attacked.
Certain diseases of the immune system, such as antibody deficiencies, primary immunodeficiency disease, or in some cases, HIV.

During a visit to an allergist-immunologist, the physician may perform allergy testing to identify which substances are causing the allergic reactions. An important part of the care they provide is prevention education, where patients with allergies learn how to decrease their exposure to problematic substances and control their symptoms of allergic reaction. Allergists might prescribe medication, such as inhaled corticosteroids or beta agonists for asthma. They may also provide immunotherapy, where small amounts of the problem allergen are given via injection to the patient and the amount is increased slowly over time. The shots help the body get used to the allergen and train the immune system to react appropriately to it without causing problem symptoms.

Immune disorders can range from making patients uncomfortable to being life-threatening, and they are becoming more common. Allergy-Immunology is a quickly growing field.
