Our Services

Nasal/Sinus/Eye Allergies

Allergic triggers can be year round or worsen as the seasonal pollen comes back each year.  Untreated allergies can not only make you sneeze, sniffle, blow your nose, cause headaches/pressure, and nasal drip with throat clearing, but can contribute to fatigue, snoring, poor concentration and headaches too among other things!  Environmental modifications, and a multitude of treatment options can help you feel your best!

Asthma

Most Asthma has allergy as a trigger and also a major cause of the underlying longstanding inflammation.  Finding, modifying and treating the underlying cause can often lead to improved symptoms, less long term medication requirements, and improved quality of life.  Our specialist providers diagnose, treat and offer multiple cutting edge treatments for different forms of asthma.

Pollen Counts

As the local leaders in Allergy and Asthma care, AAIR is the only pollen counting station doing the ONLY pollen counts for Rochester, the Finger Lakes,  Syracuse, and west to Olean! We appreciate you supporting AAIR, so that we can continue to provide these services free of charge to Allergy and Asthma sufferers, healthcare providers, television news stations, other media and national research!  Follow us on Facebook for daily pollen counts as they are performed!

Hives/Urticaria

Hives have many allergic and nonallergic/autoimmune factors which cause the hives themselves or make them worse.  Diagnosing and avoiding triggers is essential to control, and proper medication regimen can lead to relief from the frustration, irritation, and itch of chronic hives!

Mast Cell Activating Syndrome (MCAS)

Mast cells are the allergy cells of the body, full of chemicals that cause symptoms when triggered.  There is a growing awareness of people with leaky mast cells that release chemicals much easier and more profoundly and can cause a multitude of symptoms.  There are multiple measures which can significantly decrease this recurrent chemical onslaught!

Stinging Insect Sensitivity

Stinging insects can cause life threatening reactions in sensitive individuals.  These reactions have a high risk of worsening with subsequent stings.  Diagnosing properly (blood tests miss a huge portion of reactions) is essential.  Having an Epipen is good but not enough.  Allergy shots can reduce risk of worsening reaction from 60% to 3%!

Food allergy

Our Allergy specialist providers can diagnose and formulate a treatment plan for food allergies and conditions caused by allergic reactions to foods. We help kids and adults have confidence and peace of mind to navigate food allergy with a plan for avoidance, treatment and to be ready in case of emergencies!  We now offer Xolair biologic shots for additional protection and safety from unexpected exposures!

Allergy Shots/Immunotherapy

Allergy shots are a natural way to turn off the body’s overreaction to allergens and insect venom.  It has been approved for treatment of Asthma, allergies, and venom reactions.  Allergy shots can often lead to significant reduction in symptoms, decrease in medication requirements, and are one of the few treatments that can often be stopped with continued long term benefit after stopping!

Other Specialties/Services

Skin Testing

Skin testing can help diagnose multiple environmental, food, venom and drug allergies, but only when done and interpreted by a trained allergy specialist.  Testing is well tolerated by adults and children when a caring team takes the anxiety and fear out of it and makes the children comfortable and a part of what is going on!
