Our body's immune system helps keep us healthy by producing disease-fighting antibodies. These antibodies are capable of destroying harmful foreign substances like viruses and bacteria that cause disease. In people with allergies, these antibodies are overstimulated and react to normally harmless substances. Substances that can cause allergic reactions are called allergens. These can include common substances such as pollen, dust, mold, pets or foods.

Our lab uses the latest technology in allergy blood testing. Blood testing produces more accurate results than the traditional skin-scratch tests as these scratch tests are based on non-standardized extracts and can lead to erroneous interpretation because of their subjective nature. Once you know what is causing your symptoms, you and Dr. Rubinstein can decide which course of treatment is best for you. We offer allergy drops as your treatment, rather than outdated, painful allergy shots. Most patients, after three to five years of this treatment are able to stop taking any and all allergy medications experiencing a full recovery!
