ALLERGIES & TREATMENT
Iowa Allergy is proud to be one of the few centers in the country that offers oral immunotherapy (desensitization) for patients who are allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts. We also offer oral allergy drops in addition to traditional allergy shots for seasonal allergies, which is especially helpful for those with an aversion to needles. We provide evidence-based, up-to-date medical care to our patients and coordinated closed-loop communication with referring and primary care physicians to ensure they are aware of all diagnosis and treatment plans for our mutual patients.
