Berkeley, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/10/2011 -- The Allergy & Asthma Center of Stamford offers allergy patient handouts on its website to support the needs of its patients in Stamford, Connecticut. It understands the importance of patient education, to improve clinical care and patient satisfaction. The Allergy and Asthma Center of Stamford (http://www.stamfordallergy.com/Links.php) now provides its patients with convenient, online access to allergy resources on its own practice website.

Surveys have shown that U.S. adults frequently search online for patient handouts, but are frustrated by the large volume of health information they find from questionable sources.

A majority of health consumers state that they would prefer to get that information directly from their own doctor. Unfortunately, a majority of physicians report finding it difficult to provide education during an office visit and most medical practice websites lack health information. Allergy and Asthma Center of Stamford now joins other allergy practices that use the “From Your Doctor” service from Vivacare to manage their allergy patient handouts (http://www.vivacare.com).

Dr. Paul S. Lindner and Dr. Ora Burstein, along with the staff at the Allergy and Asthma Center of Stamford specialize in helping people who suffer from allergic disorders and are committed to the best possible health care for all of their patients. They are the largest provider of allergy and asthma care in the greater Stamford area and the surrounding towns of Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Wilton, Westport, Norwalk and Fairfield as well as Westchester Country, New York. In addition to being Board Certified in Allergy & Immunology, our physicians are also Board Certified in their respective fields of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. This means that a comprehensive understanding of not only allergic and asthmatic conditions is available to our patients, but that these illnesses are put into a larger perspective of the patient's general health.

Dr. Paul S. Linder, M.D., has been a specialist in the field of Allergy & Immunology for over 20 years. Dr. Lindner earned his medical degree from State University of New York and went on to complete his residency training at Stamford Hospital-Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he served as the Chief Resident.
