Ergent Care now has allergy testing available in our clinic.  We talked to Tiffany from United Allergy labs about what can be expected with your first visit and the many benefits allergy treatments can bring.

EC: Hi Tiffany, what would you say is the main mission of United Allergy Labs?
Tiffany: To improve the quality of life for our allergy patients.

EC: What can people expect when they come to you for the first time?
Tiffany: On their initial visit, patients will first be examined by a physician to make sure they are a candidate for allergen immunotherapy.  If they meet our criteria I will perform a 15 minute skin test.  After the test is done, I will go over test results and treatment options.

EC: Should everyone be tested for allergies? Why or why not?
Tiffany: The people we would like to be tested is people with allergy related issues, such as ear infections, sinusitis, asthma, headaches and even pneumonia.  Most people don’t realize how many illnesses they suffer from are due to allergies. Most people that come into our clinic with upper respiratory issues (congestion, cough, drainage) are probably due to allergies.

Flu season is here again.  Both hemispheres experience increased influenza every time the cold season comes around.  The flu is very contagious and everyone is at risk.
Less sunlight means less vitamin D which causes vulnerability. Schools are back in session and people are inside more due to the cold weather. This makes it much easier to pass the flu from one individual to another.

Luckily, flu vaccinations are available! A simple shot can greatly increase your chances of avoiding the flu.  Ergent Care of Tulsa is now offering flu shots for only $25.
Please contact us for more information or just come in.  No appointment is necessary.
