Food allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to food proteins. This reaction can cause a range of symptoms, from mild (such as itching and hives) to anaphylaxis (multi-system allergic reaction). Common food allergens include peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish.
We provide services in the accurate diagnosis and management of food allergies. Our approach will involve a thorough assessment of the history of reaction to the food(s), and targeted investigations with skin prick testing, bloodwork, and/or oral food challenges, as medically indicated.
We are excited to also offer oral immunotherapy (OIT), which is a desensitization procedure for pediatric patients with food allergies 6 years and under.
drug allergy is an adverse reaction of the immune system to a medication. Some of the most common medications that cause allergies include antibiotics (penicillin), sulfa-drugs, and NSAID medications (like ibuprofen).
Vaccine reactions usually involve mild and local reactions. True allergic reactions are possible, though rare.
We provide an individualized approach to drug and vaccine allergy diagnosis. Testing may involve skin testing, as well as drug and vaccine challenges.
