AllergyWaco vs Local Corridor Allergists
If you live in Killeen, Temple, Belton, Copperas Cove, or Harker Heights, you have allergy options closer than Waco. Dr. William Long's practice in Harker Heights and the Allergy and Asthma Clinic of Central Texas in Killeen are both well-established independent allergist offices with board-certified physicians. We're 45 to 60 minutes north in Waco. Patients still drive to us regularly. Here's why, and here's how the options compare.

That depends on your case. If your allergies are well-controlled and your current provider is a good fit, the closer option is reasonable. Patients who make the drive to Waco usually want one or more of these: a clinical recommendation between allergy shots and drops, biologics like Xolair for severe asthma or food allergies, daily local pollen data and seasonal forecasts, or care from a clinic with over 45 years of Central Texas environmental expertise.
Military families and civilians near Fort Cavazos can choose from Harker Heights Allergy (Dr. William Long), the Allergy and Asthma Clinic of Central Texas in Killeen, Aspire Allergy & Sinus Harker Heights, and Allergy & Asthma Care of Waco. AllergyWaco is 55 to 60 minutes from Fort Cavazos and accepts TRICARE along with most major insurance plans.
Three questions help most. Does the practice offer both allergy shots and drops, with guidance on which fits you? Will you see the same provider each visit? Does the clinic publish or track Central Texas pollen counts and seasonal patterns?
Call us at (254) 753-3646. We will request your records, schedule your first visit, and have one of our allergists review your immunotherapy protocol so you can continue your shots or drops without interruption. Most patients are seen within a week.
Yes. Patients across the I-35 corridor regularly drive to AllergyWaco for the depth of treatment options. We have been treating military families, civilians, and patients of all ages from across Central Texas for over 45 years.
