Our Allergy and Immunotherapy Services
Allergy Testing
Skin Prick Testing
- The most effective and widely used method for diagnosing allergies.
- Small amounts of potential allergens are introduced to your skin.
- Within 15-20 minutes, we can identify any allergic reactions, which appear as small, itchy bumps.
- Immediate results allow you to discuss your personalized findings with your doctor right away.
Immunotherapy (AIT)
Personalized Immunotherapy:
We’re not just treating allergies, we’re treating your allergies.
Everyone’s allergies are unique. While most allergy medications only mask your symptoms, and other treatments attempt to address a broad range of allergens, we take a different approach. We focus on identifying the specific allergens that affect you most, then develop a personalized treatment plan designed to build your tolerance to your unique allergy profile over time.
How It Works:
- Gradual introduction of increasing amounts of the specific allergen to your system.
- Helps your immune system build tolerance over time.
- Treatment typically takes 3-5 years.
- Aims for long-lasting relief even after treatment ends.
When to Get Help With Your Allergies
Symptoms Become Your New Normal
If you’re always sneezing, coughing, or feeling congested and have accepted it as normal, it’s a sign that your allergies need better treatment.
Brushing It Off
If you often say, “It’s just allergies,” when you sneeze or cough, you might be ignoring the fact that something more can be done.
Outdoor Discomfort
If activities like being outside or mowing the lawn make you miserable, your allergies are probably affecting your life more than they should.
Relying on Meds
If you’re taking allergy medicine more than you’d like, it could mean your current treatment isn’t working well enough.
Frequent Infections
If you keep getting sinus infections, it could be a sign that your allergies aren’t under control.
