What Is Allergy Skin Testing?
Allergy skin testing is a safe and effective method to determine how your immune system reacts to specific allergens. Results are available quickly, allowing your allergist to develop a targeted treatment plan.
We offer two proven testing methods:
- Skin Prick Testing
- Intradermal Testing
Both are performed in-office under close medical supervision.
Skin Prick Allergy Testing in Santa Ana
Skin prick testing is usually the first step in diagnosing allergies.
How It Works

Intradermal Allergy Testing in Santa Ana
Intradermal testing is recommended when skin prick test results are negative or unclear, but allergy symptoms persist.
How It Works
