FAQ

What does an allergist test for?

Common evaluations include skin or blood testing for environmental and food allergies, patch testing for contact dermatitis, and pulmonary function testing when asthma or breathing symptoms are involved.

How are allergy shots different from food immunotherapy?

Allergy shots are subcutaneous immunotherapy typically used for selected environmental allergies. Food oral or sublingual immunotherapy is a separate treatment approach for certain food allergies and requires specialist oversight.

When should I call 911 instead of an allergist?

Call 911 for signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing, throat swelling, fainting, or symptoms affecting multiple body systems. Routine testing and treatment planning belong in an allergist visit.

What should I ask about the cost of allergy testing?

Ask whether the office accepts your insurance, whether a referral is required, which tests are planned, and what copays or deductibles apply. Costs vary by test type and coverage.
