Hello, I'm Dr. Michael Nelson, Allergist-Immunologist, and Chief of the Division of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology at the University of Virginia. I treat patients with all allergic and immunologic conditions.

I chose allergy immunology because I can treat the entire age spectrum, from children to senior adults. I'm probably best known for my ability to work with patients and for the preparation of allergen immunotherapy. That’s a fancy name for allergy shots or sublingual tablets that are given to desensitize patients to allergic conditions.

I have had the opportunity to have a very successful career in military medicine. The ability to deploy and treat soldiers who are heroes to this nation is something that I will never forget, and it carries with me throughout my career.

Each patient has a story. It's quite an honor. I always feel so very grateful when they come to see me in the clinic. They have the trust in me to add me to their story and their life's journey. Knowing that, I will put forth everything I can to help understand their condition, their individual needs, and to really find the best solution for them to make them feel better.

We have great outcomes here at UVA, but we have even greater patients. So we welcome them to our family at the asthma and allergy immunology clinic. And we know we're going to take great care of them.
