As one of the few independent private practices in the area, Allergy & Immunology Health Services allows patients to receive personalized care in a community-based practice.

Providing patients with treatment for asthma and other allergic diseases, Dr. Panuto’s hospital affiliations include: Fairview Hospital, Southwest General Health Center, Elyria Medical Center, and St. John Medical Center.
