Services
Allergy Skin Testing
Our allergy skin testing identifies environmental, food, and drug allergies through prick and intradermal methods. Board-certified allergists interpret results to create customized treatment plans. This diagnostic tool helps patients understand their specific triggers and develop effective management strategies.
Allergen Immunotherapy
Allergen immunotherapy reduces allergic responses through customized allergy shots or FDA-approved tablets. Our physicians develop personalized regimens to desensitize patients' immune systems, providing long-term relief from environmental allergies and asthma triggers.
Oral Immunotherapy
Oral immunotherapy treats food allergies by gradually increasing allergen exposure under medical supervision. We offer peanut, tree nut, milk, and egg desensitization programs to protect against accidental ingestions and potentially achieve permanent tolerance.
Biologic Drug Administration
Our biologic drug administration targets specific immune pathways for severe asthma, eczema, and eosinophilic disorders. Certified staff administer medications like Xolair and Dupixent in-office, combining advanced treatments with personalized monitoring for optimal outcomes.
Pulmonary Function Testing
Pulmonary function testing measures respiratory capacity and medication responses for asthma diagnosis and management. Our state-of-the-art equipment includes Aluna home spirometry options, enabling real-time monitoring and treatment adjustments for improved asthma control.

I have gone to CAAC since 2017. They have been absolutely amazing. All of the medical assistants and nurses are really nice and Dr.'s are phenomenal. Dr.'s ask intelligent questions that lead to resolving issues. They truly listen to their patients. Dr. Ghory was able to resolve a 20 year mystery on how to treat my asthma and was able to get me under control where no other allergist or pulmonologist has been able to resolve the problem. Always will be thankful to them.

Surprise billing. Were told one thing in the start and then we suddenly received bills for in the thousand for two of us. Previous allergy doctors for shots from two previous locations didn't charge a third of what they did here. In essence a surprise sticker shock. Will never go back there again. We were paying way over what should be with full coverage insurance. We normally payed 10 a shot, but here it ended up being 40. We learned to get it in writing before starting shots again in this area.

I am a new patient. Had an appointment with Dr. Patricia Ghory. From the time I entered the medical office building, I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff. The nurses were very caring & explained the procedure I was about to have with great detail, openness & warm demeanor. Dr Ghory spent a long time with me, explaining various options to my problem. She has an excellent bedside approach & had a great way of making the patient be at ease. I would definitely recommend this place!

Overpriced for the service provided. I did price comparison and their test costs are quite a bit higher than others. Several hidden charges that were not disclosed including a significant standard new patient office visit fee of $350 visit after a lapse despite having gone to the clinic since I was 5. Charged for multiple tests when I only agreed to one allergy test. Charged $110 for a peak flow reading when that was always just part of their service like a blood pressure reading.
Total sticker shock when I got the bill and if they'd been upfront about it I wouldn't have scheduled an appointment. I called billing and they apologized and sent me an adjusted bill. Then, they called back and said Dr Ghory would not allow any of her services to be adjusted despite the poor communication. So now they are retracting the adjusted bill they sent me. Such a mess. The shining spot was the billing person was kind and understanding.
