As a New Patient…
During your initial visit, a detailed history and physical examination, pulmonary function test (if you have asthma) and skin testing will be performed. For most allergy-related illnesses, every effort will be made to accomplish these tests in one visit. Patients with Blue Cross Blue Shield may require two separate visits for testing per insurance guidelines. A new patient visit may take as long as two hours. All patients will be seen as soon as possible. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. This extra time will enable you to complete necessary paperwork. Please remember to bring your insurance information and cards with you.
YOU MUST STOP TAKING ALL ANTIHISTAMINE MEDICATIONS (e.g. Benadryl, Chlor-Trimeton, Atarax, Tavist, Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra,
If the patient is under age 18, a parent/legal guardian must accompany the patient and should be familiar with the medical history. If possible, please do not bring other children to the appointment as our examination rooms have limited space for patient and testing supplies.
Again, we thank you for allowing us to assist you in leading a more normal life with your asthma and/or allergy related illness. Please call us if you have any questions about your visit to our office. See you soon!
