  Looking for an allergist/ENT I'm looking for a doctor in UW Health that specializes in allergies. I thought I would ask here for recommendations before just picking out a random one. I've taken allergy medication daily for three years (and as needed my whole life), but in last few months, I've been having to double up with a nasal spray at night. I'm not looking for guesses on what could be causing this, because it could be anything -- i'm allergic to everthing from pollen to fur to even grass. I'm really looking for a doctor who can talk with me about what I might need to do to prevent the 12-sneezes-per-hour rate Ive been dealing with. Anyone have someone they've worked with before and liked?
