Personalized allergy diagnosis and treatment for environmental, food-related, and skin-based allergies. Includes skin prick testing, blood (IgE) testing, and patch testing to identify triggers such as pollens, mold, dust mites, pet dander, and more.
Allergen immunotherapy designed to reduce the severity of allergic reactions over time. Treatment involves a build-up phase of weekly injections over 3-6 months followed by maintenance injections every 2-4 weeks for 3-5 years. Up to 85% of patients experience significant symptom relief.
Comprehensive food allergy care including skin prick testing, blood testing, and supervised oral food challenges. Covers common allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish with allergen avoidance education and emergency action plans.
Skin testing to identify allergic reactions to antibiotics like penicillin. A small dose of the antibiotic is administered to the skin to determine if a true allergy exists, as many reported penicillin allergies are not confirmed upon testing.
Specialized asthma care including spirometry, peak flow testing, exhaled nitric oxide measurements, and allergy testing to identify triggers. Treatment options range from rescue and controller inhalers to biologic medications like Fasenra and Nucala for severe eosinophilic asthma.
Diagnosis and treatment of sinus inflammation caused by infection or allergies. Identifies specific allergen triggers and develops personalized treatment plans for conditions that persist beyond ten days or become chronic, addressing congestion, facial pressure, headaches, and related symptoms.
Customized eczema treatment plans addressing barrier dysfunction and immune response. Includes daily moisturizing protocols, prescription topicals for flare-ups, trigger identification and avoidance strategies, and lifestyle and dietary support for long-term management.
Diagnostic testing and customized treatment for acute and chronic hives including skin testing and bloodwork to identify triggers. Therapies range from antihistamines and H2 blockers to leukotriene inhibitors and biologic medications like Xolair for treatment-resistant cases.
Specialized evaluation and treatment for allergic skin reactions caused by direct exposure to triggering substances such as plants, beauty products, nickel, soaps, and latex. Treatment includes trigger avoidance, topical steroids, and oral medications as needed.
Specialized management of immune system deficiencies including genetic and acquired immunodeficiencies. Provides preventive care, medication management, and treatment strategies to help patients maintain healthy, active lives despite compromised immune function.
FDA-approved biologic medication for severe allergic asthma and chronic hives unresponsive to standard treatments. Administered in-office for patients meeting clinical criteria.
Biologic therapy targeting underlying inflammation for moderate-to-severe eczema, asthma, and chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. Helps patients who have not responded adequately to conventional treatments.
Biologic medication for severe eosinophilic asthma that targets and reduces eosinophils, a type of white blood cell that contributes to airway inflammation.
Biologic treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma that reduces eosinophil levels to help prevent asthma attacks and improve lung function in patients with difficult-to-control asthma.
Biologic therapy for severe asthma that works across multiple types of inflammation, offering a treatment option for patients regardless of their eosinophil levels.
Biologic medication for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in adults who have not responded well to other prescription treatments.
