What We Offer
Comprehensive Consultation
A thorough first visit includes a review of medical and family history, symptoms, medications, and exposures, as well as a discussion of treatment goals with our allergy and asthma specialist.
Allergy Skin Prick Testing (Pet, Food, Environmental)
Skin prick testing is a quick, reliable way to detect immediate (IgE-mediated) reactions to common triggers like pollens, dust mites, molds, pets, and foods. Results are available during the visit, helping clinicians tailor avoidance strategies, medications, or immunotherapy.
Allergy Patch Testing
This test helps identify substances in personal care products, topical medications, or occupational exposures that may be contributing to symptoms. Patch testing evaluates delayed-type contact allergies that can cause rashes, dermatitis, or chronic skin irritation.
Venipuncture
When blood testing is indicated, venipuncture enables serum-specific IgE measurement, immunologic studies, and baseline labs prior to certain therapies. These results support diagnosis and treatment decisions, especially when skin testing is not feasible.
Allergy Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots)
Allergy shots reduce sensitivity to environmental allergens over time through a customized dosing schedule. Immunotherapy can reduce symptom severity, lower medication use, and reduce the risk of developing new allergies. Treatment plans are individualized and monitored for safety and effectiveness.
Biologic Therapies for Asthma and Eczema
For patients with moderate-to-severe asthma or atopic dermatitis that are not adequately controlled by standard treatments, targeted biologic medications can greatly decrease exacerbations and inflammation. We assess eligibility, start treatment, and monitor the patient’s response and safety as part of their overall care plan.
Lung Function (Pulmonary Function Testing)
Pulmonary function testing quantifies airflow, evaluates asthma control, and tracks disease progression or treatment response. Objective measurements are essential for accurate diagnosis and for adjusting inhaled therapies.
Rhinoscopy
Rhinoscopy provides direct visualization of the nasal passages and sinuses to identify inflammation, polyps, structural issues, or infection that contribute to nasal congestion, sinusitis, or poor response to medical therapy. Findings guide targeted medical or procedural interventions.
Tympanogram
Tympanometry assesses middle ear function and pressure — useful when allergies or eustachian tube dysfunction cause ear fullness, hearing changes, or recurrent ear problems. Results help determine appropriate management or referral.
Flu Shots
Seasonal influenza vaccination is offered to protect patients, particularly those with asthma or other chronic respiratory conditions, from flu complications. Vaccination is an important preventive measure in yearly care.
