Services
Allergy Skin Testing
Our allergy skin testing identifies specific allergens causing symptoms through controlled exposure. This diagnostic method helps create targeted treatment plans for conditions like allergic rhinitis and chronic hives. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes and provides immediate results for effective management.
Immunotherapy Treatments
Custom immunotherapy programs desensitize patients to allergens through regular injections. This long-term treatment addresses root causes rather than symptoms, offering lasting relief for environmental allergies and asthma triggers. Treatment duration typically spans 3-5 years with personalized dosage adjustments.
Clinical Research Trials
We conduct FDA-regulated clinical trials for new allergy and asthma medications. Participants gain access to investigational treatments while contributing to medical advancements. Each study includes comprehensive monitoring by our research team and compensation for time and travel expenses.
Asthma Management
Our comprehensive asthma program includes diagnostic testing, personalized action plans, and ongoing monitoring. We specialize in managing exercise-induced asthma and seasonal exacerbations using the latest inhaler technologies and biologic therapies for severe cases.
Pollen Count Monitoring
Daily pollen and mold spore counts help patients anticipate allergy triggers. We provide region-specific data for Omaha Metro area, including tree, grass, and weed pollens. This information supports proactive symptom management through medication timing and environmental controls.

If you have asthma and or allergies then it makes sense to see a doctor that specifically treats it. Seriously the doctors and staff here have always been great to work with. It makes a world of difference to have a doctor that understands the specific symptoms, and also knows the right questions to ask you to arrive at a treatment plan. If you or someone in your family has breathing or allergy problems they are always fighting, this is a great place.

Been coming here for a couple months for my allergies and seeing Dr brooks. He knows his stuff and is very easy to talk to. He is willing to listen and dissect all of my concerns and questions. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

I called this business and the receptionist was rude from the moment she answered the phone like I was an inconvenience. After she told me my daughter was not a patient there she hung up without saying a word! I have never been to this place in person but just by that phone call I do not recommend this place to anyone!

Will not be returning. I was told to call if I had a adverse reaction from a vaccine. Called and was not taken seriously by staff. Receptionist answering phone was rude and loudly sighing in annoyance. So unprofessional. Went to another medical facility same day and sure enough I needed treatment and wasn't exaggerating.
