What We Offer
We use a proven and practical approach called allergen immunotherapy. Regularly introducing small, controlled doses helps your immune system get used to allergens.

Allergy Treatment Options
How It Works
Your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation and allergy testing. We’ll pinpoint the specific allergens causing your symptoms and build a customized allergy shot plan—targeted to your exact needs and optimized annually.
Phase 1: Build-Up
Your treatment begins with the build-up phase, during which you will receive allergy injections with gradually increasing doses of allergens, typically administered 3 to 4 times per week. This phase can last up to 8 months, depending on your injection schedule and how well your body responds to the therapy.
- Injections 3–4 times per week
- Gradual allergen dose increase over 6–8 months
Maintenance Phase
After completing the build-up phase, your allergist will determine the most effective dose and move you into the maintenance phase. In this stage, injections are usually given about twice weekly.
You may start to notice a decrease in your allergy symptoms during this time. If your symptoms improve, you will continue in maintenance for roughly 4 months. Following this period, your allergist will evaluate if ongoing injections are needed.
- 2 shots per week for about 4 months
- Progress monitored through retesting
