SPECIAL PROMOTION
Top Doctors Profile Congratulations to Our Top Docs Alabama Allergy & Asthma Center is the leading caregiver in the state for both pediatric and adult asthma, allergy and immune conditions. We are proud to celebrate over 50 years of individualized, quality care. Our board certified allergists serve six convenient locations in Homewood, Hoover, Alabaster, Cullman, Trussville, and Chelsea. Many people don’t know when to see an allergist or what conditions they treat. A board certified allergist/immunologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of environmental, food, drug, and insect allergies, as well as asthma, chronic cough, hay fever, skin disorders (eczema and hives), chronic infections, and immunologic disorders. No other health care professional is as qualified to treat allergy, asthma, and immunological diseases as an allergist. All of our allergists/immunologists are certified by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology (ABAI), and have completed at least nine years of medical training. Each of our physicians has the unique training and expertise to identify the allergic or immunological mechanisms that contribute to a patient’s medical condition. They are the only physicians who receive specialized training to perform and interpret allergy testing, treat complex allergic diseases asthma, and prescribe allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots). Allergies, asthma, and immune disorders can be serious. Many people with allergic diseases don’t realize how severe their condition may be, how much better they could feel with treatment, or how their overall quality of life could be improved. Always talk to your primary care physician or pediatrician about symptoms. If symptoms are severe or persist after initial treatment, they may refer you or your child to an allergist.
Our Food Allergy Treatment Center
We are proud to offer individualized oral immunotherapy for peanuts and tree nuts to both children and adults. Oral immunotherapy (OIT), or oral desensitization, is a new treatment that retrains the immune system to tolerate a food allergen. Treatment involves eating small, gradually increasing doses of peanuts or tree nuts each day under the careful supervision of our board certified allergist, Dr. Carolyn Comer. Our goal for treatment is to improve our patient’s overall quality of life, and give them a lifetime of freedom from the fear and stress of a nut allergy.
Celebrating over 50 Years of Quality Care WEILY SOONG, MD MAXCIE SIKORA, MD JOHN ANDERSON, MD SUNENA ARGO, MD WILLIAM MASSEY, MD CAROLYN COMER, MD LORENA WILSON, MD
Our Clinical Research Center of Alabama
Our physicians are committed to offering our patients the most innovative care, and part of that is remaining active in research. We are able to offer new and better treatments through our clinical research for conditions like asthma, atopic dermatitis, food and environmental allergies, COPD, and immunodeficiency.

Finding the right doctor for an aesthetic medicine procedure is the most crucial step on the path to a wonderful and rewarding experience. For more than two decades, Dr. Daniel Rousso has been committed to enhancing and enriching people’s lives with the most comprehensive care and state of the art techniques in facial plastic surgery. Dr. Rousso and his experienced staff are dedicated to providing the highest level of personal support, patient care and medical expertise. From the moment you arrive for your first consultation through your entire procedure and recovery, you can expect the greatest respect and precise procedures designed to meet your goals. Board Certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, Dr. Rousso continues to be recognized as a Top Doctor within Alabama and recognized nationally as one of the Top 100 doctors by Castle Connolly as published in the July 2016 New York Times. In addition to his private practice, he is an assistant professor at the University of Alabama in Birmingham Department of Surgery. He also serves as director of a fellowship program under the auspices of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, training numerous other physicians in the artistry and techniques of facial plastic surgery. Having authored several publications on the science of facial plastic surgery and hair restoration techniques, Dr. Rousso receives numerous invitations both nationally and internationally to lecture. He remains active with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, serving as past president, and with the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery which he also served as a past president. Dr. Rousso employs computer-assisted video imaging during the consultation process so that patients feel comfortable discussing their cosmetic goals and the changes they desire. But his most important tool is his personal sensitivity to patients’ concerns. With the help of imaging analysis, a patient can see the approximate surgical result of the procedure under consideration. Dr. Rousso employs neurotoxins BOTOX and DYSPORT, and a host of fillers and volumizers; RESTYLANE, RADIESSE, SCULPTRA, JUVEDERM and VOLUMA for patients wanting to look better but may not have the down time required for surgery.
The Alabama Hair Institute within the Rousso Facial Plastic Surgery Clinic is another centerpiece of the specialized services offered by Dr. Rousso. It is no longer just men who desire more hair density and wish to restore the hairline of their youth. More women than ever are seeking surgical intervention to provide them with thicker hair and more overall confidence in their appearance. The Rousso Aesthetic Medical Spa offers patients a complete menu of services. Customized skincare treatments are designed to deliver results patients can see. Non-invasive ablative treatments including Intense pulse light, PCA facial peels, DERMAPEN, ULTHERAPY and hair removal are some of the menu offerings with no patient downtime. The Med-Spa carries Premium physician skincare products and Youngblood cosmetics.

SELECTION PROCESS
“If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?” This is the question we’ve asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and of course physical results. The nomination pool of dentists consists of dentists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as all dentists listed online with local and national dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they feel should be included in our list. Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peer’s work when evaluating the other nominees. Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases are given a careful consideration by the editors. Voting characteristics and comments are taken into consideration while making decisions. Past awards a dentist has received as well as status in various dental can play a factor in our decisions. Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board. Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists. Of course there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that our polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate, and useful list of dentists available anywhere. Dr. Janet Cash is a Board Certified Dermatologist with over 20 year of experience in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology.

Modern healthcare is about more than medicine. Doctors and other caregivers have to be mindful of everything from treatment options, current lab results and radiation exposure to how much all of this is costing the hospital, clinic and patient. Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody designed a product that makes it easier for healthcare providers to keep track of all those things? Birmingham startup IllumiCare believes it has. Its Smart Ribbon innovation combines clinical and financial intelligence within an existing electronic medical record system. It’s non-intrusive in that it hovers over a patient’s record, providing real-time cost and risk data but then disappears when it’s not being used. IllumiCare has partnered with a number of hospitals nationally and provides a product that benefits patients and physicians. IllumiCare came about after co-founder Mukul Mehra met with a patient looking for a second opinion with regard to her cancer prognosis. After days of looking through records of how much radiation the patient had been exposed to, Mehra was able to see that her exposure was equivalent to being about 1,000 yards from the atomic bomb dropping in Hiroshima during World War II. As a result, IllumiCare was born, concentrating on creating a more efficient way to give patients and clinicians the proper information needed to provide the best treatment options. The Economic Development Partnership of Alabama (EDPA) likes that sort of vision. EDPA’s Alabama Launchpad program named IllumiCare its Corporate Innovator of the Year for a small company in its recently announced 2016 Alabama Innovation Awards. EDPA uses these awards to highlight and recognize the innovative strategies of individuals and companies helping to boost Alabama’s economy and provide new job opportunities. “The Alabama Innovation Awards are the perfect opportunity to recognize companies, businesses and individuals who have transformed innovative ideas into a product or service that meets a need and delivers proven value,” said Steve Spencer, president of EDPA. From there, IllumiCare’s abilities and ambitions have grown. “We hope to change healthcare,” said G.T. LaBorde, CEO of IllumiCare. “That really is what would enable our system to be more efficient and hopefully afford healthcare for many more people because we are doing it so much more efficiently.” —Anna Johnson, Alabama News Center
