Allergy immunotherapy
Allergy shots and oral drops can decrease and even completely eliminate your symptoms. Allergy immunotherapy gradually desensitizes the immune system to specific allergens. Safe and effective treatment for all ages. Learn how allergy shots work, what to expect during treatment, and whether this long-term solution is right for you.
Allergy & Asthma Services
Allergic rhinitis also known as hay fever causes sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes. Identify triggers—pollen, dust mites, pet dander—and helps to manage symptoms. Allergy skin testing helps tailor strategies and create a precise immunotherapy and avoidance plan.
Asthma is a long-term lung condition causing wheezing, cough, chest tightness, and trouble breathing. People with uncontrolled asthma often wake at night or have trouble with exercise. We will make a personal asthma action plan with controller and rescue medications.
Our practice offers comprehensive diagnostic evaluations—including advanced IgE testing and component testing—alongside cutting-edge treatment biologic protocols to protect you and your family.
Urticaria/Hives
Hives (urticaria) are itchy, raised red welts on the skin often caused by food, medicine, infection, or pollen. If medicines don’t control them, skin or blood tests may be done to check for triggers or other conditions. For severe cases not helped by usual treatments, newer biologic drugs may be required.
Drug Allergies
Drug allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a medication. Learn how to recognize the signs of a drug allergy, which medications are most commonly involved, and how allergy testing can guide safer treatment options.
Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT)—commonly known as traditional allergy shots offer a proven path toward lasting disease modification rather than temporary symptom management. Administered in our clinic through injections, immunotherapy gradually increases your immune system's tolerance to environmental triggers like tree, grass, and weed pollens, mold spores, animal dander, and dust mites. By systematically desensitizing your body over time, this effectively suppresses allergic inflammation, reduces asthma flare-ups, and often eliminates the need for ongoing daily medications.

Atopic Dermatitis/ Eczema
Living with persistent eczema flare-ups requires more than basic moisturizers—it takes a targeted medical approach to break the itch-scratch cycle. We perform specialized diagnostic testing to pinpoint immune and environmental factors unique to your skin.
Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis occurs when direct exposure to irritants or allergens causes red, itchy, or inflamed skin. Through precise diagnostic testing, our expert team identifies your specific triggers and builds a personalized management plan. Discover how targeted avoidance and relief strategies can restore your skin's health.
Chronic sinusitis causes persistent facial pressure, severe congestion, and fatigue that last for weeks and rarely respond to over-the-counter remedies. Our practice delivers comprehensive evaluations to pinpoint the underlying causes of your sinus inflammation—from allergies to structural blockages.
Immunodeficiency
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) offers a safe, convenient, and needle-free alternative to traditional allergy shots. Administered as liquid drops placed under the tongue, SLIT works by gradually exposing your immune system to small doses of specific allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and molds. Over time, this pain free daily therapy retrains your immune system significantly reducing symptoms and long-term reliance on daily allergy medications. Because SLIT carries an exceptionally low risk of severe allergic reactions, patients can safely administer their maintenance doses at home.
With persistent infections that do not respond well to standard treatments, a primary immunodeficiency disorder may be the underlying cause. We offer advanced diagnostic testing, including immune globulin evaluation and target antibody assessments, to pinpoint specific immune system gaps.
