When you go see a doctor for allergies your doctor may already be an allergist but if not your doctor can refer you to an allergist to get tested for your allergies.

An allergist is specially trained to identify allergy and asthma triggers and the allergist can also help treat your allergies and asthma symptoms as well.

The allergist can prescribe allergen medicine and can give you allergy shots as well.

An allergist is also known as an Immunologists so your doctor may refer to the allergist as an Immunologists.

The allergists will check you for allergies through either a skin test or a blood test or they may do both.

It can then take a few days to a week before the allergy test come back to them to give you the results.
