Your medications are selected based on your needs, age, and response to previous treatments.

Allergy immunotherapy in Fresno and Merced for lasting relief
For long-term relief, we offer immunotherapy, a treatment that helps your immune system become less sensitive to allergens over time:

This option is ideal if you want to treat the cause instead of just managing symptoms.
