The first visit takes 60 to 90 minutes. The allergist will take a detailed history of your symptoms, triggers, and previous treatments. Allergy skin testing is often done during the first visit: small amounts of common allergens are placed on your skin with tiny pricks, and reactions are read after 15 to 20 minutes. The results identify your specific triggers and guide treatment recommendations, which may include avoidance strategies, medications, or immunotherapy.
If you are a seasonal resident, establish a local primary care relationship early in the fall before practices fill their winter panels. Many Naples doctors are comfortable coordinating with your physician back home.
