Allergy and immunology involves the management of disorders related to the immune system. These conditions range from the very common to the very rare, spanning all ages and encompassing various organ systems. An allergist / immunologist is a physician specially trained to diagnose, treat, and manage allergies, asthma, and immunologic disorders, including primary immunodeficiency disorders. Common allergic and immunologic diseases include food allergy, asthma, hives, nose allergies, eczema, and non-HIV immune deficiencies.

In honor of her clinical expertise, Dr. Dever is the recipient of Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2015), Patients’ Choice Award (2016), and On-Time Doctor Award (2016).

When not busy chasing after her two young and beloved boys, she enjoys traveling, running with her husband, and reading about history.
