Adult Allergy Testing

Adult Allergy Testing, Dearborn

Our doctors, nurse practitioners and staff are expertly trained in diagnosing and managing adults allergies for both environmental and food allergies. Specifically we test for a wide variety of airborne allergies, including multiple molds, weeds, tree pollens, ragweed, grass pollens, dust mites, and pet danders. We also test for a wide variety of foods. 

We perform allergy testing with a series of skin pricks followed by an intradermal test to determine the degree of sensitivity. We test for multiple inhaled and food allergens. Our allergy tests are designed to specifically test for the common allergens found in the Midwest. We suggest wearing a short sleeve T-shirt due to the fact that testing is done on the arm in most cases. Eat a small meal or snack about one hour prior to testing, as it can take up to 1 ½ hours to complete all testing. Please fill out our allergy questionnaire and bring it to your testing appointment.
