Dr. Lisa Hutto and the staff of Palmetto Allergy and Asthma are committed to providing the highest level of care in the most efficient, caring, and cost-effective manner possible. Since its inception in 1990, the practice has grown to be one of the largest single-physician practices in the Southeast. As a result, the group is recognized as a regional leader for quality allergy and asthma care.
This quest for excellence is also evident in Dr. Hutto's academic career.
She was valedictorian of her high school class and graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina with a degree in chemistry. Eight years later, she graduated with honors from the USC School of Medicine. She has also been selected as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, a prestigious academic medical honor society.
Dr. Hutto completed a three-year residency in internal medicine and has been board-certified in internal medicine since 1988. To further specialize in pediatric and adult allergy and asthma, she completed a two-year fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia and has been board-certified in Allergy, Asthma and Immunology since 1990.
Allergists are required to re-certify by taking a rigorous, comprehensive board exam every 10 years. Dr. Hutto has not only met this requirement by being re-certified in both 2001 and 2011 but has also completed the coursework for "Maintenance of Certification," the highest level of recertification and continuing medical education as acknowledged by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Dr. Hutto is presently recertified until 2032.
Dr. Hutto has been recognized as a "Best Doctor" since 1996. Best Doctors is a Harvard-affiliated, prestigious, peer-reviewed group that includes the top 5% of all US physicians. Dr. Hutto was selected through an extensive physician survey that identifies doctors in the field of allergy-immunology who have excelled in clinical practice and are known to be leaders in their field.
Because she is a private, physician-owned practice, Dr. Hutto offers her patients the benefits of continuity of care during flexible hours. She feels that remaining accessible during evening and lunchtime hours is especially important for those patients dealing with chronic disease, allowing them to receive treatments without missing work or school. For those who need immediate access to care, Dr. Hutto offers same-day sick patient appointments for new and existing patients.
Dr. Hutto stays informed of all the changes in the field of allergy and immunology in order to continuously offer our patients the best care possible.
When recent data showed poor indoor air quality can contribute to persistent and hard-to-control allergy, sinus, and asthma symptoms, Dr. Hutto partnered with a leader in indoor air quality testing in order to provide patients with an easy method to measure indoor air quality.
Dr. Hutto and her team look forward to discovering how your life can be improved.
