Do allergies run your life? Do you forget what it’s like not having them?
You may have lived with them so long, you don’t give a second thought to the steps you have to take, just to feel human again. Is there a permanent allergy cure?
Pills, eye drops, Kleenex, and a ton of antihistamines rattle with every step you take. But that’s the only way… isn’t it?
It all starts with an assessment, to see exactly what you’re up against. Through physical examination and skin tests, we determine exactly what allergens trigger your reaction, in order to prescribe the proper treatment.
In addition, we can test to see if you are allergic to the allergens that exist in the Houston area.
For more severe cases, allergy shots may be needed to build up the body’s immune response to the allergen over time.
Treating the cause is far, far more effective than treating them symptoms.

Your symptoms are similar to having the flu. But people suffering from allergies do not typically miss work or school. They try to carry on with their daily lives, while struggling with the uncomfortable symptoms.
But they don’t have to.
