Contact Uswhat is Allergy Testing?
When your body detects a foreign substance, antibodies trigger the release of chemicals, like histamine. This reaction leads to an allergic reaction, like rashes, itching, swelling, or other undesirable effects. For most people, allergy symptoms are mild, but others experience chronic, severe, or life-threatening symptoms. Our lab experts at Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology in West Bridgewater, MA perform routine allergy testing. We typically offer blood tests or skin (scratch) tests to help board-certified internist Dr. John K. Terzian to identify which food or substance is causing your symptoms. Contact our team to schedule an appointment, and learn more about the allergy tests we offer.
what to expect from allergy testing
The easiest way to avoid complications is by reducing exposure to the known substances that trigger allergy attacks and the risk of severe reactions and anaphylaxis. Our allergy testing team conducts tests for food allergies, pets, hay fever, mold, dust, latex, mites, insects, allergies to medications, and more. Skin tests involve pricks to the skin to expose you to small amounts of proteins found in specific allergens that may reveal an allergy if it reacts with irritated, red, swollen bumps. We may perform an intradermal test, which introduces a small amount of the allergen solution by injecting it just under the skin in the dermal (second) layer. Blood tests require a blood sample to measure the amount of allergen-causing antibodies in the bloodstream. Our doctors will review your results and recommend treatment options, like medication or allergy shots.
Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology Reviews
I think Dr. Terzian is one of the best doctors I’ve ever been to. He listens and really knows how to communicate with people, not to mention how much knowledge he apparently has. I have been to other cardiologist who could not find my problem, but Dr. Terzian really studied through my records to find some answers.
This is actually my new primary care physician. Nice waiting area and do alot of services here. I have had several appointments and as a regular pcp patient dr tarzin has physician aides that assist you. They are also a heart concerned for you so may have you take several exams and tests. Usually they are quick and painless ultrasounds and mointers to check on vein blood flow and any issues. They check several parts of your body and take blood to ensure your healthy. It's worth it even though sometimes I wonder why I am taking the test I figured out that it is worth it to ensure that I don't have any issues or serious issues that could arise. Better to catch things early rather than later. Staff seems very nice. No issues that have happened more tests coming but I go in to see my dr Jill who is very nice to talk with and understands alot if my issues and takes care of things. Make sure I have referrals to get correct care and listens to what i say and recommends best answers. Sometimes I email her as she will email me. It is a great way to communicate in between appointments. Very pleased so far
I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care I received from Dr.Terzian. From my very first visit, I felt welcomed and valued. Dr.Terzian 's professionalism, empathy, and dedication to patient care are truly remarkable. What impressed me the most was the time Dr.Terzian took to listen to my concerns and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. It's evident that they genuinely care about their patients' well-being. The entire staff is friendly and efficient, making each visit a smooth and pleasant experience.
Dr. John is one of a kind, a doctor that every patient should have, he has the best bedside manner, he's professional in all areas and feels one's care and listens to his patients concerns. His medical advice is given with seriousness, kindness and understanding.
This practice is a one stop place with qualified, caring, providers, a lab and diagnostics all on site. 5 Stars from me.
