The Asthma & Allergy Center

The Asthma & Allergy Center was founded in 1979 by Dr. Linda B. Ford as a modest practice located at Midlands Medical Center in Papillion, Nebraska. Dr. Ford saw patients on Saturday mornings only, but soon her popularity and reputation grew. After several office expansion projects, The Asthma & Allergy Center has grown to its current location in Bellevue, NE with over 25 employees and cares for over 10,000 patients.

The Asthma & Allergy Center treats thousands of patients with allergy-related problems, from allergic rhinitis, urticaria and asthma to various drug allergies. Leading-edge procedures in the clinic help pinpoint diagnoses for patient disorders and include: skin testing for allergens, venoms and antibiotics, patch testing for a variety of compounds, spirometry, rhinoscopy, and varied challenges such as exercise, methacholine, and ingestion. In addition to providing world-class care, The Asthma & Allergy Center helped bring many of today’s asthma and allergy medicines to patients through 35 years of successful research.

Facebook Review from Michael Satisfied Patient
The best allergy clinic, they listen and explain everything well.

Facebook Review from Sue Satisfied Patient
I have absolutely no complaints about the time I have spent there in the office. Everyone is friendly with lots of information about what is going on with my allergies. Dr. Ford and her staff are absolutely amazing

Facebook Review from Susan Satisfied Patient
I have been struggling with allergies (and they discovered I had asthma) for years and this place has done wonders for me in just a few months.

The team there is so friendly and personable and you can tell they all love what they do. I just leave there smiling.. they are all great individuals who care! Care about getting you well and care about what you're going through personally. They have been great to my dad and I with what we've been going through personally. I even got... a hug from the nurse today! It just really means a lot. I always enjoy my visits with Shannon, too! Most of the time you get some doctors who shoo you out of the office as quick as they can, and that's not the case here.

If you have problems with allergies or asthma, I would consider seeing them. You won't regret it. I haven't felt this good during a fall season in years!

Quote from Patient Survey Satisfied Patient
I have been suffering from severe sinus congestion for 38 years and I finally went to have allergy testing done. A month later and I am still symptom free! Thank you Dr. Brooks. You are amazing!

I feel very well cared-for here.

Sarah Adair Satisfied Patient
I have been a patient and clinical study candidate at The Asthma and Allergy Center since being diagnosed with COPD in 2005. Since that time I have been under the care of the most capable and caring physicians and clincians in the treatment of this pulmonary disease.

The careful consideration for the particulare studies that I have been placed in by the clinicians have always been best suited for my condition. Also, I sincerely believe that my health, well being and even my life has been improved and extended by incusion in these studies and the subsequent care included.

My participation in these studies has allowed me to be on the cutting edge of the most up-to-date treatment medicines in the care of COPD patients. At the same time participation allows me to be under the careful and watchful eye of the doctors and staff at The Asthma and Allergy Center.

I would like this opportunity to thank all of my friends at the Asthma and Allergy Center for the care and treatment that I have received from them over the years.
