Testing and treatment
Through allergy testing, our specialists will determine the cause of your symptoms and craft a personalized care plan for you. This may include immunotherapy (allergy shots), under tongue allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy) or teaching you how to avoid certain foods. You may be a candidate for immunological desensitization, a method to permanently eliminate an allergy by building up your immunity slowly over time.
