Covering up symptoms only goes so far. Good allergy care starts with finding out what you’re reacting to.

We start with a thorough evaluation using skin tests, blood tests and, when needed, elimination diets. Once we know your triggers, we build a plan that may include medication, lifestyle changes and immunotherapy (allergy shots).

Then we keep seeing you. Follow-up visits let us fine-tune your treatment. We’ll talk through practical things like food choices and changes at home, and for severe allergies we may give you an emergency action plan.

Diagnostic testing

Skin testing for allergensSkin tests give quick insight into your specific allergies, including food and environmental allergens. The results tell us how best to treat you.

Treatment protocols

Immunotherapy (allergy injections)Allergy shots do more than ease symptoms. Over time they help your immune system tolerate allergens, which can make symptoms milder and less frequent.

Immunotherapy vial preparationWe prepare your allergen solutions in-house, paying close attention to safety and effectiveness.

Respiratory care

Asthma managementA plan that combines medication, lifestyle coaching and ongoing monitoring to help you breathe better.

Pulmonary function testsThese tests measure how well your lungs are working. They help us pin down the diagnosis, then track your condition and adjust treatment over time.

Additional therapeutic options

NebulizationOn-site nebulization treatments can provide prompt relief when you’re having trouble breathing.

Other specialized testingWhen needed, we may also use imaging, specialized blood tests or other diagnostic services to get the full picture.

Biologic injections

Biologics target specific proteins involved in allergic reactions. They may be an option if you have moderate to severe allergies, chronic urticaria (hives) or nasal polyps, especially when other treatments haven’t worked well enough. Dr. Song will review your history and talk with you about whether a biologic is right for you. If it is, we’ll walk you through how it works.
