Physician-Led Allergy Testing Services in the Odessa, FL Area

Allergy Testing Odessa FL Many people know they have allergies, but few are able to pinpoint what is causing them without the help of a medical professional. If you’re ready to learn what’s at the root of your stubborn allergy symptoms, turn to Scotch Institute of Ear Nose & Throat near Odessa, Florida, for allergy testing. Our practice is led by Dr. Brett Scotch, a board-certified otolaryngologist who collaborates with allergy nurses and other professionals to provide well-rounded diagnostics and treatment to his patients.

At Scotch Institute of ENT, our team performs simple and painless skin allergy testing to identify a patient’s specific allergens. We can test for about 40 allergens that are common in the Odessa, FL, area, such as molds, grasses, weeds, and pet hair, along with more than 20 food allergens. Here’s how our process works:

  • Very small amounts of allergens are individually applied to a section of the skin, usually the back.
  • If mild skin irritation occurs around an allergen as the test develops, it can be assumed that the patient is allergic to that allergen.
  • A treatment plan is created to address the patient’s specific allergens. Allergy treatment may involve simple lifestyle modifications, medication, weekly shots, or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), also known as allergy drops.

Contact Scotch Institute of Ear Nose & Throat today to schedule allergy testing for you or your child. Our practice is located a short drive from Odessa, FL, and we accept most major health insurance plans. Appointments may also be reserved online.
