DR. SAAKWA MANTE: I'm Dr.
Saakwa Mante, allergy immunology
with Essentia Health.
It offers a unique
opportunity to help people.
And I also had an uncle who
encouraged me along to go
into the profession.
I went into allergy
immunology because I
find that there is a
broad range of conditions
in allergy immunology,
and also one
gets to see patients
of all ages.
As well, one follows patients
throughout their lives
and also get to
treat other family
members who might have the same
or similar health conditions.
They are very knowledgeable
and very well motivated.
Those are the reasons.
Those are the things that
I like about my patients,
I tell them that while there is
no cure for allergic diseases,
it's still possible to achieve
reasonable control by following
current management strategies.
I like to spend time with my
family my wife and daughter,
and we like to travel and
sometimes to see new places.
