Dealing with allergies, asthma, or immune system issues can significantly impact your quality of life. At Allergy Partners Of Austin, we understand these challenges. Our team of board-certified allergists are specialist physicians uniquely trained to diagnose and treat these conditions in both adults and children.

What Does an Allergist at Allergy Partners of Austin Do?
Allergists are experts in the prevention, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment of a wide range of immunological problems. These include common conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), persistent sinusitis, bothersome hives, various food allergies, and asthma. Unlike a common cold that typically resolves quickly, allergic diseases often require expert intervention for lasting relief. Choosing to partner with a trained allergist at Allergy Partners of Austin can lead to fewer sick days from work or school, and most importantly, a significant improvement in how you feel overall. Research consistently shows that patients under the care of an allergist experience fewer emergency room visits, reduced hospitalizations for asthma exacerbations, and achieve better management of their often-disruptive allergy symptoms.
Comprehensive Allergy Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment Plans
During your consultation at Allergy Partners of Austin, our experienced providers will prioritize accurately diagnosing your specific condition. This process involves taking a detailed medical history to understand your symptoms and triggers. To pinpoint the exact causes of your allergies, we utilize appropriate and cutting-edge testing methods. These may include skin prick testing to identify common environmental and food allergens, patch testing for contact dermatitis, lung function testing to assess asthma severity, or other specialized tests as clinically indicated. By carefully combining your medical history with the results of these diagnostic tests, we arrive at an accurate diagnosis. This precise understanding then becomes the foundation for developing a personalized management plan, collaboratively created with you, to effectively relieve your symptoms and improve your long-term health. For many patients, this plan may include innovative treatments like immunotherapy, delivered through allergy shots or allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy). Immunotherapy works to desensitize your immune system to specific allergens, offering the potential for long-lasting symptom reduction and a better quality of life. Following your visit, your primary care physician will receive a comprehensive summary letter outlining your test results and our detailed recommendations for your ongoing treatment and care plan.
