Allergy testing
Allergy testing is done on the day of your visit and patients will receive their test results in about 15 minutes. The testing is done by the preferred skin scratch method. The discomfort is minimal and well tolerated by children. In cases where the skin cannot be tested, a blood test can be ordered.
Immunotherapy
In addition to avoidance and medication (symptom relief), immunotherapy (allergy shots) may be recommended. Immunotherapy is still the only treatment method that can actually reduce the severity of the allergy itself. The injections are given once or twice weekly to provide patients with the best combination of safety and efficacy.
Comprehensive asthma care
We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment of asthma in all ages and welcome the most severe cases. Highly specialized therapies, including the administration of new biological, are done in our clinic. Dr. Kiefer has a special interest in treating asthma in infants and young children.
