About The Practice

Allergy & Immunology is an outpatient specialty department located at 3271 Clear Vista Ct. Grand Rapids, MI 49525. This is our primary location where we see a mix of adult and pediatric patients Monday through Friday, 7am – 5pm. Most pediatric patients are seen at the 35 Michigan HDVCH Allergy office. The providers split their time between the adult, Clear Vista location and the HDVCH office. There is currently one physician and one physician assistant that see patients at the Grand Haven Center in Grand Haven, MI 4 days/week. The main diagnosis we see in clinic are environmental, food, and drug allergies along with asthma, chronic hives, and immune deficient problems.

We have a growing team of providers, nurses, medical assistants, and ambulatory care technicians. This MA would work in tandem with our nurses and providers to support our patients clinically. The MA will assist with patient rooming, allergy testing, allergy immunotherapy injections, vaccine administration, spirometry along with chart prepping, phone calls, patient messages, faxes, medication authorizations, and quality assurance tasks. There is an expectation, though very rare, that travel to the Grand Haven location would occur if there were staffing needs however, we currently have clinical team members that primarily support the Grand Haven clinic.
