Allergy Testing and Treatment

Allergy Testing Available at Shadid Medical Group

If you’re frequently experiencing sneezing, nasal congestion, or persistent sniffles, it may be time to move beyond assumptions and consider comprehensive allergy testing. Shadid Medical Group is proud to offer allergy testing as part of our comprehensive care for families across the metro.

 

Oklahoma is among the most challenging regions in the country for allergy sufferers, and we’ve observed firsthand how many patients endure chronic symptoms that are frequently undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. With on-site allergy testing and personalized treatment options, we can now help you pinpoint exactly what’s causing your discomfort and build a care plan that finally brings real relief.

 

No Referral, No Waiting List—Just Fast, Local Allergy Care

Many patients wait weeks or even months to get in with an allergy specialist. At Shadid Medical Group, there’s no need to wait or travel across town. We offer same-day and next-day appointments for allergy testing, so you can start feeling better sooner—all from a provider you already know and trust.

Why Allergy Testing Matters

Oklahoma ranks consistently high among the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s list of the worst places to live with allergies. Thanks to our mix of grasslands, trees, mold, dust, and wildly fluctuating weather patterns, our state is a perfect storm for environmental allergies.

For many people, symptoms come and go so often they’re brushed off as colds or sinus infections. But if you’re noticing the same issues popping up throughout the year—especially during spring or fall—it could be allergies.

Is It a Cold or Is It Allergies?

It’s a question we frequently receive from patients, particularly during Oklahoma’s well-known peak pollen seasons. 

The key difference: allergies are immune responses, not infections. This means symptoms secondary to allergies will not respond to antibiotics and managing them as if they were a common cold can lead to frustration and delay appropriate treatment.

Misdiagnosis Happens More Than You Think

Without proper testing, many people spend years managing their symptoms with over-the-counter meds, unnecessary prescriptions, or simply “toughing it out.” The problem persists because they never actually identify the allergen behind their symptoms.

At Shadid Medical Group, our new allergy testing service helps eliminate guesswork. Whether it’s pet dander, dust mites, tree pollen, or mold spores, we can test for a wide variety of common allergens and help you take control of your environment and your health.

Why Early Testing Matters

Children growing up in Oklahoma are exposed to a high level of environmental allergens from an early stage. However, because allergy symptoms in children often resemble those of colds or sinus infections, they can frequently go unrecognized or misdiagnosed.  

 

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), early identification of allergies can help prevent: 

  • Chronic ear and sinus infections.
  • Worsening asthma symptoms 
  • Poor sleep and concentration 
  • Missed school days and reduced performance 

At Shadid Medical Group, we believe in proactive care. Our allergy testing is available for both children and adults, and we tailor each care plan based on age, lifestyle, and sensitivity level. 

What to Expect from Allergy Testing at Shadid 

We offer quick, accurate in-office testing that can detect dozens of common allergens. Our process includes: 

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation – We’ll start by discussing your symptoms, medical history, and environment. 
  2. Testing – If the criteria is met, we will perform a skin prick test which is safe and minimally invasive. 
  3. Custom Treatment Plan – Once we’ve identified the triggers behind your allergy symptoms, we develop a personalized immunotherapy plan tailored specifically to your needs. 

Personalized Treatment: Allergy Shots and Sublingual Therapy 

Your treatment plan may include: 

  • Lifestyle adjustments and allergen avoidance tips 
  • Trying to avoid more meds 
  • Immunotherapy, which helps desensitize your body to allergens over time 

We offer two types of immunotherapies, both proven to reduce symptoms long-term: 

  • Allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy), administered in our office on a regular schedule or you can administer these yourself at home 
  • Sublingual drops, a convenient at-home option for patients who prefer to skip the needles
