Our services also include the specialized testing and treatment
of patients who have inhalant allergies due to smoke, pollens, molds, dust and animals,
as well as some food allergies.
Patients with allergies may experience various symptoms including hay fever, “runny
nose”, itching and watery eyes, sneezing and head-aches.
Testing is done by intradermal skin testing technique and special blood tests called
R.A.S.T. which allow allergy testing from blood samples.
This is especially useful for children.
