What to Expect at Your First Appointment

At your first visit:

1. Your provider will examine you and get a full medical history.
2. Your provider will order tests to confirm your allergies and level of sensitivity.
3. Using your test results, your provider will create a personalized plan which typically includes allergy drop immunotherapy to treat your specific allergies. We will custom mix your therapy using FDA-standardized extracts. Depending upon your allergies, you might receive one or two bottles intended to last 90 days. The daily costs for the drops ranges from about $1.77 for inhalants to $2.20 for food allergies*.
4. Your care team will help you understand your treatment and how to reach your goals. We may recommend environmental or lifestyle changes, nutrition support, or other medications/ supplements to support your treatment.

How long will my appointment take?

Allow 2-4 hours for your first visit. Since allergy is very treatable but requires rechecks to verify your progress, we will require a follow-up in person or virtual visit in three to six months. Follow-up visits are shorter than initial visits.

How long is allergy drop treatment?

Once allergy drop treatment begins, studies show that tolerance can begin within days. Long-term, lasting change typically takes three to five years of treatment for most patients. Because every patient is different and responds uniquely, treatment length varies. Patients with severe or life-threatening allergies may require longer or ongoing treatment.

Some patients report feeling better quickly and can be tempted to stop once symptoms stop. Retraining your immune system for long-term tolerance takes time, so continue treatment until your provider recommends you can stop. Completing the full treatment course is the best way to make sure you've reached long-term, lasting tolerance.
