Allergy Testing
Our comprehensive allergy testing identifies environmental, food, and skin allergens through skin prick and blood tests. We provide immediate results interpretation and develop customized avoidance strategies. Patients receive detailed explanations of their allergic triggers and evidence-based management plans tailored to their specific sensitivities.

Customized immunotherapy programs desensitize patients to allergens through regular injections. We offer subcutaneous immunotherapy for long-term relief of environmental allergies, with personalized treatment schedules and ongoing efficacy monitoring to ensure optimal outcomes for both children and adults.

Individualized asthma treatment plans combine pulmonary function testing with targeted therapies. We specialize in managing difficult asthma cases using biologic medications like Xolair and Dupixent, along with inhaler technique training and environmental control measures to achieve long-term symptom control.

Dr. Jacobson is the best! I am so happy that I found him as I now feel like my health is beginning to improve and I will eventually get back to being me. Dr. Jacobson has wonderful bedside manners and he patiently listen to you and provides details. After 1 office visit he diagnosed/corrected an issue that I was dealing with for several months. He has a wonderful persona and demonstrates the love and commitment he has to his job.
His details and attentiveness to your conditions shows he cares about your health. His staff are all friendly, warm and professional. I switched doctor services to Dr. Jacobson and are thankful I found him. Dr. Jacobson, Thank you for taking on my health and for caring enough to journey me to wellness.

Dr. Jacobson and his staff are an incredible group of people. Dr. Jacobson actually takes time to listen to his patients and answer their questions. His diagnostic skills are fantastic, and he carefully explained why he was ordering the tests he was ordering and the next steps that we would be taking based on the results of those tests. He was also extremely understanding of my time and would do extra work to order lab tests close to my home. I have never had such a great experience with a physician.

I was sick of being sick, desperate for an answer, and saw Dr. Jacobson's credentials. He and his staff are extremely professional, genuine, and forward-thinking. I did not wait and enjoyed visiting, despite circumstances. Dr. Jacobson is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend. UPDATE: Since visiting Dr. Jacobson after he did a pneumococcal panel and administered the appropriate vaccine, I have not been sick ONCE.
I've flown four times across the country. I used to get sick after almost every flight and had a fear of touching door handles because I didn't have the appropriate antibodies. I cannot say thank you enough! This has been LIFE-CHANGING for my personal, familial, and professional life. Thank you!
