There once was a time when a person had allergies or asthma could do nothing but live with the attacks, allowing the conditions to run their life. But those days are gone thanks to the tireless efforts of doctors and researchers in the field of allergy, asthma and immunology, such as the Southern Arc's own doctor Eugene Hurwitz. When West Georgia needed an allergist, area physicians turned to Dr. Hurwitz in north Atlanta. He jumped at the chance to help residents South of the city benefit from his expertise and today operates the Center for Allergy and Asthma of West Georgia, the area's largest practice specializing in the field.



"There are some other big practices in Atlanta but we are by far the biggest practice in West Georgia in the Southern Arc area," says Dr. Hurwitz, adding, "We provide a very high-quality service and individualized patient care, and we have a very patient-oriented staff from the front desk to the nurses to the providers-doctors as well as nurse practitioners."

Apart from providing exceptional service for adults and children experiencing typical hayfever, allergic responses, recurring sinus infections often allergy related and other allergic disorders and respiratory problems, what the good doctor provides his patients is quality of life. "There is a lot that can be done for people who have allergies and asthma and the way they feel on a day-to-day basis," he says, crediting new developments that allow doctors to take even better care of patients. "We have so many different treatment options available to us now that almost all patients can get their conditions under control, allowing them to live a normal life relatively symptom free with relatively rare episodes." Allergies and asthma are no match for Eugene Hurwitz and his dedicated team as they lead the charge and help patients breathe again.
