Question Why can't I have a family member give me my allergy shots at home? Answer The vaccine is too weak to be useful if it is safe enough for home use, therefore, the injections would be of little benefit.
Question Do I need a referral to become established as a new patient? Answer You only need a referral if your insurance company requires it.
Question What is the difference between an allergist and an ear-nose-throat doctor? Answer Simply put, the difference is training. After receiving their medical doctor degree, an allergist will train another two to three years either in pediatric or internal medicine. This is followed by an additional two to three years of training in the diseases of asthma and allergy. An otolaryngologist (ENT) is a surgeon. Therefore, their fellowship training concentration is in surgery.
Question Do you participate with my insurance company? Answer We participate with most of the plans offered in our area. It is always best to check with your insurance company, as they are the ones that will consider your charges.
Question You are so flexible with the times I am allowed to come in for an allergy injection, why do I need to make an appointment?
Answer Our office staffs according to patient needs, and they need time to prepare for your visit. You may not realize the extent of work that goes into your visit before you actually arrive. Your chart is examined for the appropriate dosage amount, frequency and reactions from prior injections, consulting with physician staff when necessary. In addition, we need to make sure we have enough vaccine in your vial to receive an injection, or whether the laboratory needs to make more. And, administering a cold injection, "just pulled out of the fridge" can sting! These are some of the reasons why it is necessary your appointments are scheduled in advance.
Question I heard you can be paid to participate in clinical research trials? Answer If you qualify for a study, then yes, you are compensated for your time and travel. Click here to learn more.
Answer No, if you are participating in a research study, we do not bill insurance companies. If you are eligible for a study, there is a possibility you may receive medications, examinations, and laboratory tests at no cost.
Question How long will it take before I can be seen as a new patient? Answer Usually, we can schedule you within a week or two.
Question I live in one town and work in another. Can I be seen in your different offices?
Answer If you call our office, we will make the necessary arrangements for you to be seen in another office.
