How Can I Start Allergy Treatment?
1. Schedule An Appointment
You don’t have to deal with uncomfortable allergy symptoms without any outside support. Scheduling an appointment with one of our allergy specialists is your first step toward finally finding relief.
2. Undergo Allergy Tests
To provide you with the best treatment, we’ll need to determine the specific triggers of your allergies. Allergy tests include:
- Skin prick test
- Intradermal test
- Blood test
3. Create a Treatment Plan
