Penicillin allergy?
Many patients have history of rashes after taking penicillin, however 90% are not truly allergic to it. Testing is available
Yes, I really understand it…it’s hard to get an appointment with a doctor, even more with the one you like… or who knows what he/she is doing. I addition, every time you go to the doctor it costs money and time. So you think, “allergies are not life-threatening” I can just go to the pharmacy and get some stuff to treat it myself. Well, yes you can, but it may actually leave you just a miserable as you were before. Not only may you be spending more money that way, but you may do more harm than good for yourself.

The safety of our patients and staff is very important to us. Therefore we have made some adjustments to the schedule (fewer appointments per hour), allergy shots will now have to be scheduled, optimizing staff presence.
