Find Out What Is Actually
Triggering Your Symptoms

Find the Root Cause of Your Allergy Symptoms

Initial Evaluation

Your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, and medications to determine whether allergy testing is appropriate.

Skin Testing

Small amounts of potential allergens are applied to the skin, typically on the arm or back. Most patients experience only mild discomfort.

Results Review

Results are generally available during the same appointment and reviewed with your provider.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your results, treatment recommendations may include allergen avoidance strategies, medications, environmental modifications, or immunotherapy.

Preparing for
Your Appointment

To ensure accurate results:

  • Stop antihistamines as directed by our office, usually five to seven days before your appointment. Antihistamines suppress the skin reaction and can produce a false negative result.
  • Continue all of your other prescribed medications unless we tell you otherwise, and let us know everything you take, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
  • Wear a short-sleeved shirt, or something that allows easy access to the arm or back.
  • Do not apply lotion or moisturizer to your arms or back on the day of testing.
  • Plan for about an hour, which includes the waiting period after the allergens are applied.
  • Tell us in advance if you are pregnant, or if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction.

Is Allergy Testing Safe?

Allergy testing is generally safe and performed under medical supervision. Most reactions are mild and

limited to temporary redness, swelling, or itching at the testing site.
