Discover what’s triggering your symptoms and take control of your allergies. At
Apex Allergy and Asthma, we offer safe, effective, and thorough allergy testing to help you breathe easier and live better.
Allergy testing helps identify the exact allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, foods, or pet dander, that are causing your allergy symptoms. Whether you experience sneezing, hives, wheezing, or digestive issues, pinpointing your triggers is the first step toward lasting relief.
At our allergy clinic, board-certified specialists with decades of experience utilize advanced testing methods to provide accurate results and personalized treatment plans.
Our clinic provides a range of testing options to accurately detect allergies in both children and adults. Here are the primary types of allergy tests available at our clinic:
Commonly used for contact dermatitis, this method involves applying patches of various potential allergens on the back or the arm for 48 hours.
This test introduces tiny amounts of allergens by gently pricking the skin’s surface using plastic prong devices. It’s quick, reliable, and widely used to test for airborne and food allergens.
An allergist injects a small amount of allergen just under the skin. This is more invasive than skin prick testing and is only done when needed. It’s typically done if skin prick test results are unclear or for testing specific allergens like insect venom.
Our tests cover a wide range of common allergy triggers, including:
If you suspect a trigger not listed here, our allergy care team can tailor your test accordingly.

Getting tested for allergies should be a straightforward process, and we’re here to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. During your visit, we’ll guide you through each step, from initial consultation to the testing itself and reviewing your results.
Here’s what you can expect during your allergy testing appointment:
Our allergy specialist will review your symptoms, medical history, and environment to decide on the most appropriate test.
Depending on the test type, you may receive small pricks on the skin or a simple blood draw. Most skin tests take less than 30 minutes and provide results during the same visit.
We’ll explain what your results mean and how they relate to your symptoms. You will then receive a customized treatment plan forward.
Once we identify your allergens, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:
Stop guessing and start understanding your allergies. Schedule your allergy testing appointment with
Apex Allergy and Asthma today, and take the first step toward lasting relief. We’ll help you uncover your triggers, breathe easier, and live with greater comfort and confidence.
In addition to antihistamines, which may need to be stopped 3 to 7 days prior (depending on the medication), you should also avoid topical allergy creams, certain cold medications, and alcohol. Our allergy expert will give you a specific list based on your test type.
Skin testing during pregnancy is generally approached with caution, though the risk of a serious reaction is very low. In many cases, especially in late-term pregnancy, your provider may discuss the risks and benefits with you and let you decide how to proceed. Blood testing is often considered a safe alternative if needed. For those who are breastfeeding, most allergy testing is typically safe, but it’s always best to review your specific situation with your doctor first.
Yes, especially with food allergies or eczema-related sensitivities. Retesting after a few years may help determine whether a child has outgrown an allergy or still needs to avoid certain triggers.
Most people only need testing once unless new symptoms develop, previous results were inconclusive, or they are undergoing treatment like immunotherapy. Your allergist will recommend retesting if your condition changes over time.
Searching “allergy testing near me” on Google will bring up many options, but not all clinics offer the same level of care. Look for providers who specialize in allergy and immunology, offer both pediatric and adult services, and provide multiple testing methods tailored to your symptoms. A good clinic will take the time to explain your results, offer personalized treatment options, and manage everything from seasonal allergies to complex food sensitivities.
