Allergy testing

Seasonal allergies, year-round allergy symptoms, skin rashes, breathing concerns, and food-related reactions can all raise the same question: what is actually triggering this? Allergy testing helps connect symptoms to likely allergens so care can be more targeted, more precise, and more useful in everyday life.

Allergen identification

What is allergy testing?

Allergy testing is used to help identify whether the immune system may be reacting to specific substances such as pollens, dust mites, molds, pet dander, foods, or other allergens. Testing does not replace clinical judgment, but it can help confirm what a patient’s history and symptoms are already suggesting.

Why allergy testing matters

Identifying the cause of symptoms is the first step toward more effective allergy care. Allergy testing gives specialists useful information that can support a more personalized treatment plan, help clarify which triggers matter most, and determine whether treatments such as immunotherapy may be a good fit.

Benefits of allergy testing may include:

Identifying your allergy triggers
Reducing unnecessary trial-and-error treatments
Supporting a more personalized treatment plan
Helping determine whether allergy immunotherapy may be appropriate

Testing methods

Our allergy testing methods

Our specialists select the most appropriate testing method based on symptoms, medical history, medication use, and treatment goals.

Skin prick testing

Helps identify common environmental and food allergens by placing tiny amounts of suspected allergens on the skin and checking for a reaction.

Intradermal testing

A small allergen sample is placed into the outer layer of skin. This test is used when more detailed information is needed after initial skin testing.

Patch testing

Used to evaluate delayed skin reactions caused by contact allergens such as metals, fragrances, preservatives, and certain chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What types of allergy testing do you offer?

Testing may include skin prick testing, intradermal testing, patch testing, and selected blood testing depending on symptoms and medical history.

Most allergy tests are well tolerated, though some may cause temporary itching, redness, or mild discomfort.

Timing depends on the method used, but many allergy testing visits can be completed within a standard specialty appointment window.

Some skin test results are available during the visit, while certain lab-based results may take longer depending on the test.

Your specialist reviews the results alongside your symptoms and history to decide what treatment, trigger reduction, or follow-up steps make the most sense.

Yes. Testing can help clarify whether immunotherapy may be an appropriate part of long-term allergy treatment.
