Allergy Treatment in Canton & Ann Arbor, MI

Understanding Allergies

Allergies arise when your body perceives foreign substances like pollen as threats, prompting immune responses like sneezing and itching. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and certain foods.

While allergies are often manageable with medication or avoidance of triggers, severe reactions can occur, requiring immediate medical attention. Allergy testing can help identify specific factors, enabling individuals to manage their condition better.

While we do not perform immunotherapy or allergy skin testing in-office, we evaluate your needs and make appropriate referrals to specialists.
