WHY TEST AT ALL

Treating an allergy you haven't identified is guesswork.

At our allergy testing clinic we offer a range of allergy tests that can help identify the cause of your symptoms. Allergies can be caused by a variety of things, so finding out exactly what you react to is what makes a targeted treatment plan possible.

Safe and Painless
Modern testing is far more comfortable than it used to be. Skin prick testing places a small amount of an allergen under the skin. If you are allergic, a raised, itchy bump typically appears within 15 minutes.
A Range of Allergens
Allergies can be caused by a variety of things. We test across the environmental, seasonal and food triggers that matter most to patients in Central Texas.
Ruling Things Out
Coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing are not always allergies. Testing helps rule out other potential causes of your symptoms before you commit to a treatment plan.
A Plan That Follows
Testing is not the end point. Your results are what your diagnosis and treatment plan are built from.

WHAT TESTING ACTUALLY TELLS YOU

Answers You Can Build On

Testing turns a list of symptoms into a specific, named set of triggers. Here's what that gets you.

1st

The First Step to Treatment

If you are suffering from allergies or asthma, identifying the root cause of your reaction is the first step towards treatment. Everything that follows depends on it.

Skin and Blood Testing

We offer comprehensive allergy testing, including skin and blood tests, to accurately identify your triggers. Which one we use depends on your symptoms and your history.

Results While You Wait

Skin prick testing places a small amount of an allergen under the skin. If you are allergic to the substance, you will typically develop a raised, itchy bump within 15 minutes.

Central Texas Triggers

Testing pinpoints which local triggers set you off. Oak, cedar and ragweed pollen and mold spores are the usual suspects around Waco.

Targeted Treatment
Knowing your specific sensitivities is what makes immunotherapy, medication and avoidance strategies work. They all start from your results.
Other Causes Ruled Out
If your symptoms aren't allergic, testing tells you that too, so you aren't treating the wrong condition for months.
Informed Exposure Control
We provide extensive education on how to control your exposure to the allergens you actually react to.

WHY IT'S WORTH DOING

A symptom list is a guess. A test result is a starting point.

Our primary goal is to improve your quality of life. We find what triggers your allergy and asthma symptoms, provide extensive education on how to control exposure to allergens, and give you a holistic approach with treatment options such as medications and immunotherapy.
