Allergy Program
Precision Allergy Testing. Customized Treatment. Excellent Results.
Over-the-counter and prescription allergy medications can ease your symptoms, but they often have significant side effects. The good news is precision allergy testing and new customized medications can help you say goodbye to your allergies forever.
We understand that every patient is different. Each person responds differently to different allergens. That’s why we chose an allergy program that custom formulates every single dosage of allergy medication specifically for each patient.
Why Choose Immunotherapy?
- It is a long-term solution for allergic rhinitis, whereas antihistamines and steroids work on a short-term basis and need to be taken often.
- Allergy symptom relief lasts up to 12 years.
- It is highly effective when the treatment course of approximately 2-5 years is properly completed. Clinical data has shown that allergy symptom relief usually occurs within the first year of immunotherapy.
- It’a cost-effective. Patients who respond well to immunotherapy have been shown to spend less on over-the-counter and prescription allergy medication.
- This treatment is covered by most insurance carriers.
