Our Allergy Services

1. Skin Testing and Blood Panels

The first step in effective allergy treatment is proper diagnosis. At Dr. Hoasjoe’s ENT clinic, we use comprehensive skin testing and blood panels to identify the precise allergens triggering your symptoms.

Common Allergens We Test For:

• Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds (abundant in areas like Katy, Cypress, and The Woodlands)

• Pet dander (especially common in suburban homes around Pearland and League City)

• Dust mites and mold spores (frequent in coastal climates like Baytown and Clear Lake)

• Foods such as peanuts, shellfish, milk, and soy

• Insect venom and latex

Skin Testing:

We perform prick or intradermal skin tests, where small amounts of allergens are introduced to the skin and monitored for reactions. This method is highly accurate and provides fast results—perfect for busy patients in Houston and its suburbs.

Blood Allergy Panels:

For patients who are unable to undergo skin testing, we offer RAST (Radioallergosorbent Test) and ImmunoCAP blood tests. These are especially helpful for children, those with skin conditions, or anyone on antihistamines.

2. Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots)

Allergy immunotherapy, often referred to as allergy shots, is the gold standard for long-term allergy relief. It works by gradually desensitizing your immune system to allergens through controlled exposure.

Who Can Benefit?

• Residents of Pasadena, Deer Park, and La Porte who experience severe seasonal allergies each spring and fall

• Houston-area children with allergic asthma triggered by mold or pet dander

• Patients from Friendswood, Clear Lake, and Humble whose medications are no longer effective

• Adults in Montrose, Midtown, or Bellaire experiencing work-related environmental allergies (e.g., mold in office buildings)

How It Works:

• Build-Up Phase: Injections are given 1–2 times per week, with gradually increasing doses.

• Maintenance Phase: Once an effective dose is reached, injections continue every 2–4 weeks for 3–5 years.

Over time, many patients experience significant, even complete, relief from their allergic symptoms—with far fewer medications required.

3. Environmental and Food Allergy Management

Not all allergies require shots. Many of our patients in Spring, Cypress, Missouri City, and Sugar Land manage their symptoms effectively with medical guidance and environmental changes.

Environmental Allergy Solutions:

• HEPA filters for air purifiers and HVAC systems

• Dust-mite-proof bedding recommendations

• Mold mitigation strategies, especially for homes near the Gulf or areas with older plumbing

• Pet management tips for families in League City, Pearland, and Conroe who want to keep their furry friends
  

Food Allergy Management:

• Accurate diagnosis via elimination diets and IgE blood testing

• Counseling for parents navigating childhood food allergies in Baytown and Houston ISD

• Emergency Action Plans, including EpiPen training and school-based allergy protocols

We also collaborate with dietitians and pediatricians throughout the Houston area to ensure holistic food allergy care.

Why Local Allergy Treatment Matters

Houston ranks as one of the most challenging cities in the U.S. for people with seasonal and environmental allergies due to:

• High humidity, especially in Clear Lake, Baytown, and La Porte

• Year-round pollen exposure in Katy, Cypress, and Kingwood

• Airborne mold spores, common in coastal homes and older buildings across Montrose, Downtown, and East Houston

National clinics often overlook the regional factors that drive allergy patterns. Dr. Hoasjoe’s team understands the unique allergy challenges of Southeast Texas—and tailors every treatment accordingly.
