Skin testing is a procedure that is commonly performed in the office of an allergist. It is used to detect allergy to multiple allergens including pollens, foods, stinging insects, and medications.

Patch Testing

Patch testing helps to confirm a diagnosis of an allergic contact dermatitis, which is a type of skin rash that occurs when certain substances come in contact with the skin.

Lung Functions

Pulmonary function testing, also called spirometry, is commonly performed in our office in patients five years of age and above who we suspect might have asthma. In many cases, this is the only way that the presence of asthma can be detected.

FeNO

FeNO stands for fractional exhaled nitric oxide. A simple breathing test that measures the amount of nitric oxide in your breath.

Food Challenge

An oral food challenge (OFC) is an in-office procedure in which a food is eaten at certain intervals with increased doses under close medical supervision.

Drug/Medication Challenge

A drug/medication challenge is an in-office procedure in which a medication is administered under close medical supervision to find out whether there is a true allergy.

Biologic Treatments

The development of biologic therapies (antibodies that bind to specific immune targets and block type 2/allergic inflammation) has revolutionized how we treat and manage allergic conditions.
