Services
Allergy Testing
Our comprehensive allergy testing identifies specific triggers through skin and laboratory methods. Patients receive detailed analysis of environmental allergens, food sensitivities, and drug reactions. Results enable personalized treatment plans that may include avoidance strategies, medication, or immunotherapy.
Allergy Shots
Customized allergy immunotherapy programs gradually desensitize patients to allergens through regular injections. This long-term treatment reduces symptoms for environmental allergies, with extended Thursday hours available at most locations to accommodate patient schedules.
Asthma Testing
Specialized breathing tests and methacholine challenges accurately diagnose asthma and allergic asthma. Our specialists develop treatment plans that maximize symptom control while minimizing medication use through a combination of inhalers, biologics, and trigger management.
Eczema Treatment
Advanced diagnostic testing identifies food triggers for atopic dermatitis. Treatment combines allergen avoidance with innovative biologic therapies that target specific immune responses, significantly improving symptoms for patients with severe eczema.
Biologic Therapies
Cutting-edge biologic medications like Xolair provide relief for severe allergies and asthma. These targeted therapies modify immune responses to treat chronic hives, eosinophilic esophagitis, and nasal polyps with injections administered every 2-8 weeks.

Report
I call to make an appointment and Kayla I think her name was, was very rude. Imagine someone's skin flaring almost 24/7 and you are referred to this clinic who then hangs up before you can finish a sentence. I called the first time and she said the coordinator had to check for my referral, so I left a message. I called my insurance to make sure it was faxed and they decided to re-fax it. I call back to check in and get the same woman who now tells me to wait 1-2 business days until they receive it then the coordinator will call. Does that mean no one was actually going to call me back after the first call?
I wasn't upset at all in the call and was trying to be understanding but I guess 3:30 is too close to closing because once I said ok and took a breath to ask one last thing I was hung up on. All I wanted was information and help.

Dr. McKinney was very attentive and detailed in her notes. She listened to my concerns and respected them. She wrote an extension for the covid vaccine due to my current circumstances and medical history. I was nervous going and walked out with a great experience. Thank you!

Dr Song is a great doctor that cares about how you are doing and how you are responding to treatment. Very up to date on what is new in the allergy treatment world. Dr Song explains what is going on and the treatment plan well. I would not trust anyone else with my family thanks again

VA beware, be sure to keep track of your authorization. You will not be informed it's expired and they will continue giving you shots. Until they send you the bill there's no way to know. I was charged for 2 shots I thought was covered by VA. Not a pleasant experience. On a positive note, the staff is nice and the facility is presentable.
