Meet Our Team
Our Mission
We offer the complete range of allergy testing and treatment: environmental skin testing, food allergy testing with supervised oral food challenges, drug allergy testing (including penicillin de-labeling), venom testing for severe insect reactions, and patch testing for contact dermatitis. Most testing is performed in-office, with results discussed the same day. For long-term relief, we provide allergen immunotherapy — both subcutaneous allergy shots and sublingual options for select allergens — customized to the specific oak, grass, ragweed, cedar, mold, dust mite, and animal dander sensitivities most common in the Clear Lake area.
Asthma is exceptionally common in Clear Lake patients because of the combination of humidity, mold, and ozone. We use objective testing — spirometry, FeNO, and bronchodilator response — to make sure asthma is what we’re actually treating, not vocal cord dysfunction, allergic rhinitis, reflux, or another mimic. For patients with severe asthma, eosinophilic phenotypes, nasal polyps, atopic dermatitis, or chronic spontaneous urticaria, we provide biologic therapy in-office, including Dupixent, Xolair, Nucala, Fasenra, Tezspire, and Cinqair, with prior authorizations managed by our staff.
