The American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy (AAOA) represents over 2,700 Board-certified otolaryngologists and health care providers. Otolaryngology, frequently referred to as Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT), uniquely combines medical and surgical expertise to care for patients with a variety of conditions affecting the ears, nose, and throat, as well as commonly related conditions. AAOA members devote part of their practice to the diagnosis and treatment of allergic disease. The AAOA actively supports its membership through education, research, and advocacy in the care of allergic patients.
"Advance the comprehensive management of allergy and inflammatory disease in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery through training, education, and advocacy."

Have you heard of the “October Theory”? Apparently, Autumn brings more than falling leaves, pumpkins, and too much candy. Autumn also triggers reflection to bring about transformation. According to Brianna Paruolo, psychotherapist, Autumn sparks a natural inclination for transformation. The…
“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall”. F. Scott Fitzgerald may have been on to something. While we are still awaiting “crisp” in DC, Fall is definitely in the air. And there is a sense…

I am writing this with The Beatles, “Here Comes the Sun,” streaming in the background. Ironic, given the grey skies outside and slow start to Spring for so much of the country. Yet, Spring does always come with a sense…
March is such an optimistic month. (Although some may wonder this year with the extension of Winter in some parts). It offers a great opportunity to Reflect, Review, and Refocus. As I reflect on the AAOA during Women’s history month, I am…
Funny how there are so many metaphors for life in some of our day-to-day activities. Skiing recently, I was reminded of that age old Gretzky quote, “I go to where the puck is going, not to where it’s been.” While…
