ALLERGY & ENT SPECIALISTS

​

An allergy is an unusual response of the body to an environmental agent. While most individuals may not be allergic to a particular item, some individuals are genetically predisposed to allergies to certain agents or become allergic as time goes by. So where do we start? We start with testing! An allergy test identifies airborne and some food agents you might be allergic to. It also guides us in further treatment of allergies. Skin testing is generally less positive with food allergies than with inhalant allergies. Typically prick testing is performed on the back only after it is clear that the individual did not take antihistamines, nasal steroids, oral steroids, singular or beta-blockers for one week prior to the skin testing.

 

Once the source of the allergy is determined, treatment can begin. From allergy drops to Immunotherapy (allergy shots) and more, we can develop a personalized allergy treatment plan to help your body's defense system develop a resistance to the allergens that prevent you from living life to the fullest. Get the relief you deserve.
