What is Immunotherapy?

September 8, 2020 by Dr. John M Young Leave a Comment

Allergen immunotherapy is a form of treatment aimed at decreasing your sensitivity to allergens, by introducing increasing amounts of the allergen to a patient over several months. We have an 85-95% efficacy rate with children and allergen immunotherapy has been shown to prevent the development of asthma.

Why Immunotherapy?

It is safe, effective, and convenient. We offer 10-4 treatment. You will be allowed to do these injections at the convenience of your home and only be required to visit our office 10 times the first year and 4 times the subsequent years vs 1 week in-office injections.

Does my insurance cover allergy testing and immunotherapy?

Yes, most insurance plans cover allergy testing and immunotherapy. We will verify insurance benefits prior to testing.
