Comprehensive Allergy Services

If you suspect you are suffering from an allergic condition, we invite you to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Bouboulis, a board-certified allergist who has helped thousands of allergy sufferers find relief from their symptoms. 

After this initial consultation, we offer a series of skin and blood tests, among other approaches, in order to precisely diagnose your allergic condition. These tests often include: 

​

  • Skin prick / intradermal testing for food and environmental allergies

  • Metal, penicillin testing

  • Oral challenges (foods, medications) to isolate source of allergic reactions

  • Asthma screening

Recognizing Allergy Symptoms

Recognizing the onset of allergy symptoms may help you pinpoint the allergen that causes such a reaction. Substances that are harmless to many people may trigger an immune response in your body. Common allergy symptoms you may experience include:​

  • Cough

  • Fatigue

  • Fever

  • Nausea

  • Rash

  • Runny or stuffy nose

  • Shortness of breath

  • Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)

  • Angioedema

  • Sinusitis

  • Chronic cough

  • Insect allergy (honeybees, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps)

  • Food allergy including anaphylaxis

  • Drug allergy

  • Eye allergy

  • Skin allergy

  • Urticaria (hives)

  • Allergic contact dermatitis

  • Atopic dermatitis

  • Primary immunodeficiencies

  • Hypogammaglobulinemia

  • Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)

  • Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)

  • Tick-borne infections

  • Autoimmune encephalopathy

Treatment Options

​After testing and diagnosis, we create a personalized treatment plan best suited for you and your immune system. A treatment plan might include: 

  • Allergy medication 

  • Immunotherapy (allergy injections)

  • Sublingual immunotherapy (oral allergy drops)

Comprehensive Asthma Serviees

We provide comprehensive and personalized care plans for all of our asthma patients. 

  • Evaluation & Diagnosis

  • Immunotherapy treatments

  • Short-term/long-term medication

  • Personalized treatment plan

Triggers & Symptoms

 Asthma is a common respiratory condition that causes inflammation of the bronchial tubes. There are numerous triggers associated with this inflammation. Common triggers include: ​

  • Exposure to allergens

  • Excessive emotions that affect normal breathing patterns

  • Strenuous exercise

The most common symptoms of asthma  include: ​

  • Chest tightness

  • Coughing

  • Shortness of breath

  • Difficulty breathing 

  • Wheezing

Evaluation

We use a variety diagnostic tools to test for asthma, such as a spirometer to measure the air you breathe in and out to determine how well your lungs are working. We may also perform skin or blood tests and take chest x-rays for additional information.

If we establish a diagnosis of asthma, we will first identify the stimuli that trigger your asthma attacks. By knowing what to avoid, you will minimize your risk of adverse reactions.

Treatment Options

We offer a variety of treatment options. Many individuals benefit greatly from medication. Short-term medications provide immediate relief from asthma symptoms, while long-term control medicines help prevent symptoms from occurring. We will determine the ideal combination for you. Additionally, we offer immunotherapy treatments in the forms of allergy shots and sublingual tablets. Each helps control symptoms and minimize risk.

Autoimmune Disorders

What is an Autoimmune Disorder?

An autoimmune disorder is a condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, mistaking them for foreign invaders like viruses or bacteria.

 

Normally, the immune system works to protect the body against harmful substances, but in cases of autoimmune disorders, the immune response is directed against the body's own cells, tissues, and organs, leading to inflammation and damage.

 

There are more than 80 types of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease, among others.

Symptoms

Symptoms of autoimmune disorders can vary widely depending on the specific disorder and the organs or tissues affected, but common symptoms include: 

  • fatigue

  • fever

  • joint pain

  • skin rashes

  • difficulty concentrating.

Treatment Options

Treatment for autoimmune disorders typically focuses on managing symptoms and controlling the immune response through medications such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologic therapies.

Pulmonary 
Testing

What is Pulmonary Testing?

Pulmonary testing, also known as Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), provides a non-invasive yet comprehensive assessment of your lung function. ​

If you have an existing lung condition, Advanced Allergy can conduct additional tests to see if the condition is progressing or how it is responding to treatment.

As a renowned expert in the field of pulmonary testing, Dr. Bouboulis provides the most advanced care for a wide range of lung disorders and conditions, including:  

  • Asbestosis

  • Sarcoidosis

  • Scleroderma

  • Lung Cancer

  • Allergies

  • Bronchiectasis

  • Lung Fibrosis

  • Asthma

  • COPD

  • Pulmonary Tumor

  • Chronic Bronchitis

  • Respiratory Infections

Tick-Borne Illnesses

What are Tick-Borne Illnesses?

Tick-borne illnesses are diseases transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. Ticks are tiny arachnids that feed on the blood of animals, including humans, and can carry various bacteria, viruses, or parasites that can cause diseases.

Prevention & Treatment

Ticks are usually most active during the summer months and live in grassy, wooded, and bushy areas. Limit your exposure to these areas while engaged in outdoor activities like hiking or gardening. Other preventative measures include wearing protective clothing (such as hats and long-sleeved shirts), applying tick repellent, and brushing off your clothes after an outdoor excursion.

Along with holistic methods, antibiotics are useful in treating a range of tick-borne illnesses, including Lyme disease. They are usually prescribed during early stages of treatment. Some illnesses, such as Babesiosis, are treated with antibiotics combined with antifungal and anti-parasite medications.

Symptoms

Lyme disease: fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic red skin rash around the bite or a “bull’s-eye rash." In later stages, symptoms may include headaches, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, and pain in the muscles or joints. If left untreated, Lyme disease can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system.

​

Rocky Mountain spotted fever: fever, headache, rash, and muscle aches. Without prompt treatment, this illness can be fatal.

​

Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis: fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue.

​

Babesiosis: Transmitted by the same ticks that carry Lyme disease. Symptoms include fever, chills, sweats, fatigue, and muscle aches.

​

Powassan virus: A rare but potentially serious tick-borne virus that can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord). Symptoms can include fever, headache, vomiting, weakness, confusion, seizures, and memory loss.
