Your First Visit
You can expect congenial, individualized service as our staff
gathers information about your allergy problems, health history,
home and environmental assessment during the first visit. Part
of the visit will include physical examination followed by conference
with Dr. Aminian to discuss diagnosis of your allergy and management
plan. He may advise further evaluation by skin testing or pulmonary
function testing. This will be arranged at a later date.
Following the assessment process weeks will meet with you at
regularly scheduled visits to monitor your progress and adjust
your therapeutic program. By working together weeks can help
eliminate many problems arising from allergies and asthma so
you can enjoy a full and healthy lifestyle.
Making an Appointment
For your convenience we offer flexible office
hours at our locations in Fresno and Visalia. You may make
an appointment by calling
(559) 447-1700. We will schedule the appointment as soon as possible
and may ask that you arrange for necessary referrals if your
insurance plan requires this. We accept referrals from other
physician’s offices. If the person we are seeing for the
first time is under age 18 years, we request a parent be present.
In an Emergency
For established patients we provide 24 hour on-call service.
Should you have an allergy or asthma related emergency during
office hours, you should call the office and tell the person
who answers the phone that you have an urgent problem so that
our staff can quickly assess and advise you of the appropriate
action you need to take. In some cases the emergency may be so
severe that you will need to call 911 immediately. Any non-emergency
calls, including requests for medication refills, should be done
during normal office hours.
Insurance Coverage
We participate in most health insurance plans
including HMO’s,
PPO’s, and Medicare. As a courtesy to you, our billing
department will submit charges to your insurance company. We
do expect payment or co-payment at the time of service. You should
bring your insurance card and identification along for each visit.
