The Allergy Testing Process
We begin with a careful review of the patient's medical history. From there, we may conduct skin tests. We apply extracts of various allergens to the skin and note the reaction. If bumps or redness appear, this indicates a likely allergy. For deeper analysis, we may order blood tests. This allergy testing looks for antibodies fighting against common allergens.
After testing, we discuss the results with you, making sure you clearly understand what we’ve found. We explain which substances cause reactions, and we can teach you how to avoid these triggers. From there, we create a plan to manage symptoms. This may include lifestyle changes or medication. Follow-ups ensure the plan is working. If not, it’s time to change tactics. Every step is designed to relieve your symptoms and improve your everyday life.
Answers to Common Questions About Allergy Testing
How Long Does Allergy Testing Take?
- Skin tests may yield results in 20 to 40 minutes. Blood tests can take a few days. We aim for fast, accurate answers.
Is Allergy Testing Painful?

When Is It Time to Get Tested?
- We suggest testing when allergies cause ongoing discomfort, and general medicine does not help. Our team doesn’t consider whether your allergies are “severe” enough for testing. If you have any regular discomfort that interrupts your day, we are happy to help.
Can Children Receive Allergy Tests?
