Treatments

Being a sufferer of asthma and non-allergic rhinitis myself, I also live this life and I understand the unique needs of patients who require this care.

At Shepherd Allergy, in addition to regular medication treatment, we offer Immunotherapy and Biologic treatments.

We use a combined European-American model for immunotherapy, choosing relevant specific allergens for each patient. We offer the latest in precision therapy targeted for individual patient’s needs and convenience, and we are proud to be ILIT™-certified by the Auni ILIT™ Learning Network.

Biologic treatments are tailored for each patient depending on age, symptoms, and disease. Since each patient is unique, we also consider dosing frequency and administration method.
