Allergy Testing Services in Summerville

Allergy Partners of Summerville helps patients identify their allergies with precision. We conduct skin tests and blood tests to reveal allergic reactions to various substances. Patients often struggle with unknown triggers, and we are here to clarify these mysteries. 

Skin tests involve small extracts of common allergens. We use these extracts to observe your skin's reaction. If you develop a small bump on the skin, this swollen area indicates sensitivity to that allergen. Blood tests measure immune system responses to allergens. These tests are accurate and quick.

Our team supports you throughout your battles with allergies. We may be able to help you return to daily activities without symptoms controlling their lives.
