As a proud Buffalo native, this recognition is particularly exciting to me,” said Jeanne Lomas, D.O., Director of Allergy and Immunology at WellNow Allergy. “Allergies are on the rise all over the United States and particularly in Western New York, and proper diagnosis and treatment of allergies can make such a significant impact on a patient’s quality of life.
