If stubborn allergy symptoms have left you seeking care from a doctor, consider turning to Scotch Institute of Ear Nose & Throat. Our fully equipped center near New Port Richey, Florida, is led by Dr. Brett Scotch, a board-certified ENT specialist who collaborates with allergy nurses and other ENT professionals to provide a full spectrum of allergy care in a single location.
Why should I choose Scotch Institute of ENT for allergy treatment?
Dr. Scotch’s background in otolaryngology gives him a unique understanding of how allergies can impact the ears, nose, and throat. Along with Dr. Bueller and Dr. Agnew, he takes the time to carefully evaluate each patient’s symptoms, identify their source, and develop an individualized treatment plan to help the patient feel better as quickly as possible.
In some cases, our doctors may recommend skin allergy testing. This simple and painless test involves placing a very small amount of various common allergens on a patient’s back. If one of the allergens triggers inflammation or itching, it can be inferred that the patient is allergic to that substance. Scotch Institute of ENT can test for dozens of allergens that are prevalent in the New Port Richey area, such as different types of mold, pollen, weeds, and grasses.
Once a patient’s specific allergens have been identified, one of several treatment approaches may be recommended, including shots, medication, lifestyle adjustments, and sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops). These fast-dissolving drops are custom formulated in our office to help patients steadily build tolerance toward their specific allergens.
If the time has come to speak with a doctor about your allergy symptoms, we encourage you to visit Scotch Institute of Ear Nose & Throat. Our center is located just a short drive from New Port Richey and we accept most major health insurance plans.
