Our Approach

According to the Asthma & Allergy Foundation, one in four Americans suffers from asthma and allergies. Allergies are among the most common diseases in the U.S. and yet they often are overlooked. While there is no cure for allergies, we can help patients manage them with the proper treatment.

We treat all types of allergies in adults and children with avoidance measures, medicine and immunotherapy. Our specialties include:

• Food allergies
• Seasonal allergies
• Asthma care
• Pediatric asthma
• Atopic dermatitis

Testing and Diagnosis

During your initial visit, your physician will review your health history, your family’s health history and your symptoms. Next, a skin-prick or blood test will be done to diagnose your allergy symptoms. Skin testing is the most common and reliable way to test for allergies, and it’s relatively painless.

Immunotherapy

When allergen avoidance and medications do not control your allergy symptoms, your physician may recommend immunotherapy for environmental allergies. Immunotherapy builds up blocking antibodies by repeated exposure to allergens. Through shots or sublingual tablets, your doctor can reduce your body's response to the allergen or eliminate symptoms altogether. This in turn can eliminate the need for medication and future treatment.

Note: our clinic is not currently participating in food oral immunotherapy treatment.
