Accurate diagnosis and assessment
Effective asthma treatment begins with a precise diagnosis. We utilize:
Spirometry / Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
These tests measure lung function to assess the severity of asthma and monitor treatment efficacy.
Allergy Testing
Identifying specific allergens helps tailor avoidance strategies and treatment plans.
Our treatment protocols include:
Controller Medications
Inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators reduce airway inflammation and prevent symptoms.
Quick-Relief Medications
Short-acting bronchodilators provide immediate relief during asthma attacks.
Biologic Therapies
For patients with severe asthma who are unresponsive to standard treatments, biologics target specific pathways in the immune system to control symptoms.
For asthma triggered by environmental allergens, we offer immunotherapy:
Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT)
Regular injections that gradually desensitize the immune system to specific allergens.
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)
Allergen tablets or drops are placed under the tongue, offering a needle-free alternative.
We develop customized action plans that include:
Daily Management
Guidelines on medication usage and lifestyle modifications.
Trigger Avoidance
Strategies to minimize exposure to known allergens and irritants.
Emergency Response
Steps to take during an asthma exacerbation, ensuring prompt and effective treatment.
The Central Valley’s unique environmental conditions, including high pollen counts and air pollution, can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Our clinic provides guidance on:
Air Quality Management
Recommendations for minimizing exposure during poor air quality days.
Seasonal Allergy Control
Strategies to manage symptoms during peak pollen seasons.
Led by Dr. Muhammad Hassan Bashir, our team is dedicated to delivering compassionate and effective asthma care. With clinics in both Fresno and Merced, we are conveniently located to serve the Central Valley community.

Asthma treatment typically includes quick-relief inhalers (bronchodilators), long-term control medications like inhaled corticosteroids, combination inhalers, leukotriene modifiers, and biologic therapies for severe asthma. We personalize your treatment plan based on your asthma severity and triggers.
While asthma cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment. At our clinic, we focus on long-term control and prevention to help you live a normal, active life without frequent flare-ups.
Inhalers are essential in asthma management. Rescue inhalers provide quick relief during attacks, while daily maintenance inhalers reduce inflammation and prevent symptoms. Our specialists will guide you on proper inhaler use and technique.
Yes. For patients with severe or uncontrolled asthma, we offer advanced options like biologic therapies (such as Xolair, Dupixent, or Fasenra), which target specific immune pathways to reduce inflammation and asthma attacks.
We start with a detailed consultation, lung function testing, and allergy testing. Based on your asthma type, triggers, and lifestyle, we tailor a treatment plan that includes medications, environmental control, and action plans for emergencies.
