Why Allergy Testing is Important

Many people suffer from allergies without knowing exactly what’s causing their symptoms. This can lead to ongoing discomfort, ineffective treatments, and worsening reactions over time. Allergy testing provides clear answers, helping your doctor create a personalized treatment plan that may include avoidance strategies, medications, or immunotherapy. Early detection can also help prevent more severe allergic responses, including asthma attacks or anaphylaxis.

Types of Allergy Testing We Offer

We provide a range of allergy tests to suit different needs:

  • Skin Prick Test – Small amounts of allergens are placed on your skin to check for reactions.

  • Intradermal Test – A small amount of allergen is injected under the skin for more sensitive detection.

  • Blood Test (IgE Testing) – Measures allergen-specific antibodies in your blood, ideal for those who cannot undergo skin testing.

  • Patch Testing – Used to identify skin allergies caused by contact with certain substances like metals, fragrances, or chemicals.

How the Process Works

Your allergy testing begins with a consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Based on this information, your healthcare provider will recommend the most appropriate test. The procedure itself is quick and generally well tolerated. Most skin tests take less than an hour, and results are often available immediately. Blood test results are typically ready within a few days.

Interpreting Your Results

Once your test results are ready, your doctor will explain which allergens are causing your symptoms and discuss the severity of your reactions.
