Why choose Grand Rapids Allergy?
One in five Americans suffers with an allergy of some kind, and many are on medications with side effects that only treat symptoms. Grand Rapids Allergy is working to solve this problem at the root level.
Your initial consultation with Grand Rapids Allergy is a 2–3 hour process. Listening to you is the most important step. Our clinical team will take an extensive medical history and perform a physician exam followed by diagnostic tests as needed.
Each allergy patient has a unique combination of allergic triggers and environmental factors that require a unique plan for treatment. Avoidance of allergens may be practical for one patient, but more difficult for another.
