Meet Our Allergy Care Providers
Our naturopathic medical doctors evaluate your symptoms and triggers.
Understanding care
What Allergy Care Involves
An allergy happens when your immune system treats a normally harmless substance as a threat.
- Triggers include pollen, pets, dust mites, mold and foods.
- Symptoms can affect your nose, eyes, skin, lungs or stomach.
- Most reactions are mild, and a few can be serious.
Our approach
- We find your likely triggers with history and validated tests.
- We build a plan around avoiding them and easing symptoms.
- We tell you where evidence is strong and where it is limited.
Anaphylaxis is an emergency. For trouble breathing, throat swelling or fainting after exposure, use your epinephrine if prescribed and call 911.

The evidence
What the Research Says About Allergy Care
Here is what is known, and what is not.
Validated tests
Skin prick tests and blood tests for IgE antibodies, read together with your history, are the standard tools for diagnosing allergy.
IgG food panels
The AAAAI says IgG to a food is likely a normal response to eating it, and recommends against IgG panels for diagnosing food allergy or intolerance.
Positive does not always mean allergic
Allergy tests can be positive without a true allergy. That is why results are interpreted with your symptoms and history.
Immunotherapy can help
Allergy shots and tablets can reduce symptoms and medicine use for some people with pollen allergies, according to allergy specialty guidance.
Add-on therapies
Evidence for supplements, herbs and other add-on therapies for allergy is limited. We tell you what is known before you decide.
What this means for you
We start with proven steps, use validated tests, and are open about where the evidence is thin.

Testing
Compare Allergy Tests
Each test answers a different question.
| Test | What it is | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Skin prick test | Tiny pricks with allergen extracts. A small welt shows sensitivity. | Results come quickly. Recent antihistamines can affect results. |
| Blood test (IgE) | Measures IgE antibodies to specific allergens | Useful when skin testing is not possible. Read with your history. |
| IgG food sensitivity panels | Measure IgG antibodies to many foods | Not recommended by major allergy societies for diagnosis. Ask any provider why they use it. |
Educational only. Your provider chooses tests based on your history.
Treatment approaches
What May Be Part of Your Plan
Plain-language notes on what each is and how well supported it is.
| Approach | What it is | Evidence and what to know |
|---|---|---|
| Avoiding triggers | Home and daily steps to reduce exposure | A core step with good support. |
| Allergy medicines | Over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal sprays | Well established for symptom relief. |
| Immunotherapy | Allergy shots or tablets that build tolerance over time | Can reduce symptoms for some pollen allergies. Often managed by an allergist. |
| Nutrition and lifestyle | Diet, sleep and stress support | Supports overall health. Not a replacement for testing. |
| Supplements and herbs | Nutrient and plant-based products | Evidence for allergy is limited. Tell us everything you take. |
| Vitamin infusions, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and peptides | Therapies some patients ask about | Evidence for allergy relief is limited, so we discuss risks and evidence first. IV therapy · Peptides |
Which approaches we use depends on your evaluation. Ask about the evidence for each.

Informed decision-making
Safety, Side Effects and Monitoring
Allergy care is usually simple, and serious reactions need fast action.
Anaphylaxis is an emergency
Trouble breathing, throat or tongue swelling, widespread hives with dizziness, or fainting need emergency care. Use epinephrine if prescribed and call 911.
Skin testing risks
Skin tests are generally safe, and a small risk of a stronger reaction exists, so they are done with supervision.
Medicine side effects
Some antihistamines cause drowsiness, and nasal sprays can irritate. Tell your provider about everything you take.
Evidence varies
Not every therapy marketed for allergy is proven. Ask what evidence supports any treatment, from any provider.
Call 911 for trouble breathing, swelling of the face, tongue or throat, widespread hives with dizziness, or fainting after a possible exposure.

Common questions
Allergy FAQs
Is an allergy something to worry about?
Most allergies are mild, but they can affect sleep, work and daily life. For some people, allergies cause a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis, which needs emergency care. A provider can help you understand which kind you have.
How are allergies diagnosed?
Your provider reviews your history and symptoms, examines you, and may use a skin prick test or a blood test for IgE antibodies. Results are read together with your history, because a positive test does not always mean a true allergy.
What is the difference between a food allergy and a food sensitivity?
A food allergy involves the immune system and can be serious. "Sensitivity" or intolerance is a broader term for symptoms such as bloating after certain foods, and it has different causes. Telling them apart takes a careful history.
Are IgG food sensitivity tests accurate?
Major allergy societies, including the AAAAI, advise against using IgG tests to diagnose food allergy or intolerance. IgG is likely a normal response to eating a food. We rely on your history and validated tests instead.
Can allergies cause itchy skin?
Yes. Allergies can cause hives, itching, swelling and flaky or peeling skin, along with sneezing, congestion and watery eyes. Other skin conditions look similar, so testing and an exam help.
Do you offer allergy shots?
Allergy shots and tablets (immunotherapy) can reduce symptoms for some people and are usually managed by allergists. If they may help you, we will talk through it and help you take the next step.
Are allergies worse in Arizona?
Pollen can be a year-round issue in the Phoenix area, with trees, grasses and weeds peaking at different times. Exact timing varies from year to year.
Does insurance cover allergy care?
Coverage varies by plan. We can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. See our payment options or call 480-752-7600.
