ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA AFFECT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR. SEASONAL
allergies, asthma, sinus disease and immune system disorders can
disrupt one’s quality of life, and can even become life-threatening at
times. Researchers estimate that up to 15 million Americans have
food allergies, and the number of children suffering from food-related
allergies is growing every day.
Enter “Sneeze Doctor” David A. Fost, M.D., a third-generation
physician following in the steps of his grandfather, William Fost, M.D.
and his father, Arthur Fost, M.D., with whom he shares a practice with
state-of-the-art offices in Verona and Sparta.
Dr. Fost made the decision to specialize in allergy-related illnesses
because he wanted to make an impact on people suffering from
potentially life-threatening problems. “Helping someone who suffers
from asthma and allergies and getting their problem under control so
they can return to a normal, happy life is a most rewarding feeling,”
explains Dr. Fost. One of his greatest strengths as a physician is his
ability to see the clinical picture from the patient’s point of view and
to implement a treatment plan from an empathetic and practical
perspective. He prides himself on the compassion, care and concern
that his practice shows to every one of their patients – a practice built
on dignity and respect.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of Dr. Fost’s career is his work with
children. “Especially with the increase in food allergies, children seem to
be hit the hardest,” states Top Doctor Fost. “Helping them get back to
their active and happy selves is a great joy. This part of my practice is
tremendously rewarding and fun.”
Only through rigorous study and training could one attain the level of
success that Dr. Fost has achieved. He received his medical degree from
Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was
awarded the Alfred I. DuPont Pediatric Prize for “the student whose
performance best demonstrates the qualities of academic and clinical
excellence, human compassion and commitment to the welfare of
others.” Following came his internship and residency at the University
of Wisconsin Children’s Hospital; he then spent one year teaching
clinical pediatrics at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in Gloucester,
England. Dr. Fost completed a fellowship in allergy/immunology at the
internationally recognized National Jewish Medical and Research Center
in Denver, Colorado. It is the only medical and research center in the
U.S. devoted entirely to respiratory, allergic and immune system diseases.
As a frequent lecturer on asthma and allergy topics, Dr. Fost shares his
real life experiences and knowledge with medical students and residents.
He has received numerous accolades and awards in his field.
