Allergy

Allergy testing has many benefits in clinical situations, as well as in everyday life.

Allergies can often present symptoms that can obscure the cause of a patient’s issue, which can be ruled out or confirmed via an allergy test. For an everyday person, being aware of what substances you may want to avoid exposure to, or conversely, do not have to avoid, can help improve one’s quality of life.
