Your first appointment at Piniella Asthma and Allergy is dedicated to establishing a correct diagnosis. This first visit is a rigorous, in-depth analysis of illness symptoms that requires a longer appointment and may take a few hours to complete. Our immunologist will review your medical history, discuss what symptoms you are experiencing, and complete a physical exam. If appropriate, the next step is to discuss testing or treatment options, depending on the results of the initial diagnosis. Five days before your first appointment, avoid taking any antihistamines (such as Benadryl, Claritin, or Allegra). These medications block the skin test. Continue taking other medications unless advised otherwise. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our allergy clinic.
