Hi, I'm Dr. Hamsa Subramanian. I'm a board certified allergist in Signature Medical Group.
I love being an allergist
my patients are great; it's always exciting to see new cases
there's always some challenge
St. Louis is very unique because we are situated between the Missouri and the Mississippi
there's a lot of mold, there's a lot of humidity
and we have good, clear four seasons
which brings in our four, good seasonal allergies as well
There are excellent medications: safe preventive medications that you can take
and still be a wonderful outdoor person so you can enjoy your walks, your hikes
your running outside and all your activities without having to stop them
One of the key aspects of treating a patient is education
There are medications, we can always write a prescription, you can always take them
but remember: education is as important as taking a medication
Understanding what you have
getting a good feel for what you have from a person who is trained
is a part of your treatment
and I think focusing on education equally as I focus on medication
is very important in my approach to a patient
