Some of you may know already, but East Texas Allergy & Asthma is thrilled to add Emily Williams, PA-C to our group! Prior to joining, Emily practiced at a multi-physician allergy & asthma office in Denton treating patients of all ages with environmental, food, and medication allergies.

When family plans took her east, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bring her right here to Longview where her passion for helping patients is on display daily.

In addition to being a compassionate and dedicated provider, Emily is a graduate of Texas A&M University and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where Dr. Chen trained, so our patients are definitely in the best of hands. She is available for new patients, follow-ups, and sick visits.

Many common medications can have the unintended side effect of triggering asthma symptoms. Some of those include beta-blockers, pain relievers (aspirin and other NSAIDs) and ACE inhibitors.

Over the years, research has shown that asthma is not a "one-size-fits-all" diagnosis. Although initial treatment often uses common medications, severe cases that do not respond require a more precise approach achieved by consultation with a dedicated asthma specialist. This may include allergen testing and avoidance, allergy immunotherapy (shots), or advanced biologic therapies that target specific inflammatory cells in that partiucular patient.

Thankfully, East Texas Allergy & Asthma is well equipped to diagnose and treat asthma of all types and in all ages. Call 903-757-3808 for assistance!

Rather than using the same treatment regimen for all patients, current strategies for asthma management focus on individualizing treatment based on a patient’s phenotype. This is known as personalized or precision medicine. There are several well-defined asthma phenotypes including: allergic, non-allergic, eosinophilic, neutrophilic, exercise-induced and aspirin-induced.
