Do you or your child suffer from asthma, nasal congestion, sneezing, wheezing, itching, watery eyes, rashes, or other allergy symptoms? When your body rejects common substances such as foods, pollen, pet dander, medications, or metals, you lose. We understand the toll that uncontrolled allergies can take on your health and quality of life, and we want to help.You are neither alone nor helpless in your battle against allergy symptoms. Accurate diagnosis is the first step to taking your life back. Diagnostic procedures such as food allergy testing and lung function testing are used to determine the nature of the problem. Once your allergic triggers have been precisely identified, avoiding them becomes possible. Even better, many allergies can be eliminated or controlled with treatments such as immunotherapy allergy treatment.
