Pediatric asthma specialists

Prof. Beigelman is board-certified in Pediatrics and Allergy/Immunology in both Israel and the US. He leads NIH-supported research into asthma prevention and previously served on the Inner City Asthma Consortium. His expertise includes managing childhood asthma and investigating new ways to prevent the condition through clinical trials.
Asthma diagnostics
The Pulmonary Institute provides a multidisciplinary approach to identify respiratory issues in children. Before starting treatment, the clinic performs several tests to assess lung health. These diagnostic services include:
- Allergy and asthma consultation. A specialist evaluates the child's history and symptoms.
- Spirometry. This test measures how much air a child can breathe out and how fast.
- Pulmonary function tests. These assess how well the lungs move oxygen into the blood.
- Exercise challenge test. This monitors lung reaction to physical activity to detect exercise-induced asthma.
Treatment and management options
The clinic uses varied methods to control symptoms and prevent attacks. A multidisciplinary team including pulmonologists, nutritionists, and psychologists supports each child. The available treatment methods include:
- Inhaled therapy with Aerochamber spacer. This technique uses a spacer with a mask for infants and children under 5. Older children use a mouthpiece to breathe for 30 seconds per dose.
- Nebulizer therapy for exacerbations. This method helps children in respiratory distress by providing rapid relief during acute attacks.
- Maintenance asthma medication plan. Doctors create long-term controller plans to reduce the risk of future flare-ups.
- Allergen immunotherapy. This option addresses underlying triggers for children with allergy-related asthma.
