The Itch Stops Here
Scratchy throat, watery eyes, cough that won’t quit—Charlotte’s pollen throws a year-round party and every nose on Toringdon Way is invited. Enter Dr. Roopen R. Patel and the team at the Carolina Asthma & Allergy Center, ready to bounce uninvited allergens at the door.
“One of the most important steps in managing allergies is being tested to identify exactly what you’re reacting to.” — Dr. Patel
With sixteen clinics around the metro, the Ballantyne office gives neighbors a short drive to clearer breathing.
A Quick Lap with Our Sponsor
Feeling better already? Glide down Polk Street and celebrate with a test drive at Mercedes-Benz of South Charlotte. Their showroom treats you to “The Ritz-Carlton experience on four wheels” and General Manager Tom Marcham insists, “Our customers aren’t transactions—they’re family.” Luxury, meet lung capacity.
Know Your Triggers
Most of us pop over-the-counter pills like breath mints, guessing at culprits. CAAC begins with painless skin or blood tests that reveal whether it’s the neighbor’s cat, fresh-cut grass, or that charming oak outside your window plotting the sneeze attack.
Personalized Plans, Real Relief
Once the culprit is caught, Dr. Patel crafts a three-part playbook: smart avoidance, modern medication, and—when needed—immunotherapy. His goal is simple: move patients from managing symptoms to forgetting they ever had them.
“The goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to improve your quality of life.” — Dr. Patel
Meet Your Running-Club Allergist
Living in Ballantyne Country Club, Dr. Patel often logs early-morning miles along neighborhood streets. Spot him in a teal CAAC tee and say hi—patient or not. Off the track, he’s reading anything from Harry Potter to immunology journals and swapping dad jokes with kids Rayan, Shailan, and Parisa.
From Toddlers to Grandparents
Asthma, hay fever, eczema, even mysterious food rashes—families often book everyone for a single afternoon because allergies love company. CAAC’s board-certified physicians handle overlapping conditions under one roof, saving parents from clinic hopscotch.
One Roof, Sixteen Doors
Ballantyne’s office is part of a network that spans the region, each clinic linked by a single electronic record. Whether you visit SouthPark or Huntersville, your history follows, not your paperwork pile.
