Contact UsWhat Is An Allergy Test?
An allergy is your immune system's reaction to a particular food or substance. When your body detects a foreign substance, antibodies trigger the release of chemicals, like histamine. This reaction leads to an allergic reaction, like rashes, itching, swelling, or other undesirable effects. Most allergy symptoms are mild, but some can be chronic, severe, or life-threatening. The primary care physicians at Omnia Medical in New York, NY perform allergy testing routinely. Allergy tests are typically blood tests or skin (scratch) tests. These tests help our physicians identify which substances could be causing your allergy symptoms. Contact us to learn more about the allergy tests offered at Omnia Medical.
How Is Allergy Testing Performed?
If you know what causes allergy symptoms in your body, you can avoid certain triggers and reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. A few of the allergies our team can test for include food allergies, pets, hayfever, mold, dust, latex, mites, insects, allergies to medications, and more. Scratch or skin tests are performed by introducing a small number of various allergens under the skin and observing the reaction over a set period of time. Blood tests evaluate the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the blood, which could indicate an allergy when present in higher amounts. Our doctors will review your results and recommend treatment options, like medication or allergy shots.
Omnia Medical Reviews
My experience at Dr. Shah's office was absolutely amazing. He was professional, attentive, and listened to my concerns. He was thorough with the examination and was openly conversational about medical considerations. I was seen in a timely manner, with no wait, and the office is very nice and clean. I would 100% recommend him.
Dr.Shah is the most compassionate and intelligent doctor I have ever come across. He treats his patients like family and is extremely respectable. Office is clean and inviting and staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor!
Dr. Shah was awesome! I just moved to the city and have been stressed trying to find a PCP. That stress all fell away when I entered Dr. Shah’s office! He greeted me personally by name and I was seen immediately. He did a comprehensive review of my medical history and an exam that went without issue. Dr. shah is a consummate professional and I would recommend him to anyone I know!
Good doctor, thorough, understanding
Dr Shah is the best doctor I’ve ever had. Very kind and thorough. Would absolutely recommend seeing Dr. Shah.
