Dr. Anthony Rooklin Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

Delaware County, PA, March 28, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Dr. Anthony Rooklin, Founder & Physician, Asthma and Allergy Associates, has joined The Expert Network©, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Dr. Rooklin has been chosen as a Distinguished Doctor™ based on peer reviews and ratings, numerous recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Dr. Rooklin outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. After earning his M.D. from Jefferson Medical College, Dr. Rooklin completed two years of residency in pediatrics at Georgetown University Hospital and a chief residency in Pediatrics at The Children's Hospital in Northern California. After completing his fellowship in Adult and Pediatric Allergy and Immunology at Thomas Jefferson Hospital, he did a fellowship in Pediatric Pulmonology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. After finishing his training, Dr. Rooklin founded Asthma and Allergy Associates, which has grown steadily ever since. Today, he is widely regarded as a leading specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of allergy and asthma problems.

"When I first started treating asthma there were basically two medicines, prednisone and theophylline. It was a very difficult disease to treat, especially in pediatrics, because there weren't many medicines available. Now there are a large number of medications for treating asthma. The challenge is not just getting a patient symptom-free, it is getting them to understand the need to take their medicine when they're well, so they don't get sick."
