Allergy Testing in the Lake Norman Area
Seasonal and perennial (year round) allergies to the most common allergens that you inhale can be tested in our office. We test for grasses, trees, weeds, cat, dog, feathers, cockroaches, molds, and dust mites. Dr. Lewis is a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy.
A blood test can be ordered to test for allergies to foods, insect stings, and inhalants.
Those that have significant symptoms of allergies and positive tests for allergies can receive allergy treatment in our office. Most patients can be effectively treated with the right selection or combination of medicines. Treatment can include shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy) or drops (sublingual immunotherapy). The treatment plan will be tailored to each patient as no two patients are alike. Sublingual immunotherapy is a great option for children, but most insurance companies do not cover this treatment at this point.
