SUBLINGUAL THERAPY FOR ALLERGIES:
"Curing" Your Allergies Without Shots
Allergies are among the most common and costly health problems, affecting one out of every four Americans. We have a full service allergy department offering state-of-the-art testing and treatment options for airborne and food allergies (multi-test and MQT methods). After identifying the problem “allergens” we provide advice about realistic avoidance strategies, multiple medication options, as well as immunotherapy choices for the select population who wish to go for “the cure.” We offer standard weekly injection immunotherapy and the less invasive, more convenient and flexible "shots without shots" -- sublingual therapy or allergy drops.
We have streamlined the process to complete allergy testing in about one hour, enabling our highly-trained staff to diagnose offending allergens, create customized treatment vials and get our patients on the pathway to allergy relief in a few days.
Sublingual therapy - "shots without shots" is a great option for those who are unable to commit to weekly shots, children, asthmatics, highly sensitive people, those with chronic sinusitis, mold allergies and multiple dust, pollen and animal allergies. We have years of experience with a growing sublingual therapy population of happy patients who are symptom free and off medications. Please inquire at your visit if this therapy might be an option for you.
