Treatment
Long-term relief from environmental allergies through allergy shots. The only treatment that changes the underlying disease.
Patients with significant environmental allergies (pollen, dust, pet dander, mold) whose symptoms aren't controlled by medication — or who want to reduce their long-term dependence on medication.
After allergy testing, we build a personalized serum. Weekly shots for the first 6 months (buildup phase), then monthly maintenance for 3-5 years.
3-5 years total
Immunotherapy is the only allergy treatment that actually changes how your immune system responds to allergens. Instead of masking symptoms, it teaches your body to tolerate the things you're reacting to.
Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) — the traditional "allergy shots" approach. We start with weekly visits for about 6 months (the buildup phase), then maintenance shots every 4 weeks for 3–5 years. Every dose is administered in the office, where we can monitor for any reactions.
Immunotherapy works best when:
Most patients see significant reduction in symptoms within 6–12 months. Many are able to reduce or stop their allergy medications entirely by year 2. The benefits often continue for years after treatment ends.
