Food allergies can be stressful to navigate. We use skin & blood testing and, when appropriate, supervised in-office oral food challenges to help you understand what's really going on.
Identifies which specific foods your immune system is reacting to.
More detailed testing that can help clarify borderline results.
In-office challenges, done under supervision with emergency medications on hand, to confirm or rule out a true allergy.
A gradual, supervised approach considered for some patients based on their history and goals.
Nine foods cause most allergic reactions: milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame. Reactions range from hives and stomach upset to anaphylaxis — and a positive skin or blood test alone doesn't always mean a true allergy, which is why evaluation pairs testing with your reaction history before anything is ruled in or out.
We review reactions and patterns in detail.
Targeted skin or blood testing to clarify triggers.
Supervised in-office oral food challenges to confirm results.
A clear action plan, including epinephrine guidance when needed.
A detailed reaction history, then targeted skin or blood testing — and when results are unclear, a supervised oral food challenge in our office is the most reliable way to confirm or rule out an allergy.
No. Intolerances (like lactose intolerance) are uncomfortable but don't involve the immune system. A true food allergy can cause serious reactions and deserves an evaluation.
They are done in our office under supervision, with emergency medications ready.
Not necessarily — some reactions aren't allergic, and some allergies are outgrown. Testing can clarify whether avoidance is needed, so kids don't give up foods unnecessarily.
Yes — infants, kids, and adults.
We work with most major plans — contact us to verify.
