Allergist Accepting New Patients in McLean VA

Allergists specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing allergies, asthma, and immunologic disorders for patients of all ages. When you visit our clinic, our team begins by taking a comprehensive medical history and discussing your symptoms—such as sneezing, itching, rashes, breathing difficulties, or frequent infections—to get a clear understanding of your unique concerns.

Using the latest diagnostic tools, including skin prick testing and advanced blood tests, we identify specific allergy triggers such as pollen, foods, pet dander, medications, or insect stings. Our state-of-the-art facilities at Amerimmune Clinic ensure precise results, which form the foundation for your individualized care plan.

Once we determine your triggers, we work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment approach. This may include lifestyle recommendations to help you avoid allergens, prescription medications to control your symptoms, or immunotherapy (allergy shots) to gradually build your body’s tolerance.

 We are committed to caring for both adults and children with allergy and immune system challenges. Our specialists collaborate with your other healthcare providers to ensure seamless, comprehensive care. We also stay at the forefront of research and innovative treatments to continually improve your outcomes.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or food sensitivities, you may be wondering whether you should see an allergist or an immunologist. At Amerimmune Clinic, our physicians are dual-trained in both allergy and immunology, uniquely positioning us to diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions related to your immune system.

An allergist specializes in identifying and treating allergic diseases like asthma, eczema, and food or drug allergies. These conditions are often triggered by environmental factors such as pollen, pet dander, or mold. Our team has extensive experience in helping patients find relief and long-term solutions for these issues.

An immunologist, meanwhile, is a doctor who focuses on the immune system as a whole. This includes not only allergies but also more complex immune-related conditions, such as primary immunodeficiency diseases, autoimmune disorders, and other immune-mediated reactions. Our expertise covers the full spectrum of immune system health, from common allergies to rare and complex immune disorders.

If your primary concern is classic allergic symptoms or asthma, our allergy specialists can help you find answers and effective treatments. If you have frequent or unusual infections, or if your doctor suspects a deeper issue with your immune system—such as an immunodeficiency or autoimmune disease—our immunology specialists are here to provide advanced diagnostic testing and personalized care plans.

At Amerimmune Clinic, you don’t have to choose between seeing an allergist or an immunologist. Our integrated approach ensures that you receive comprehensive, expert care for any immune-related concern. If you’re unsure where to start, your primary care provider or our team can help guide you to the right evaluation and treatment based on your symptoms and health history.

During your evaluation at Amerimmune Clinic, we test for a wide range of common allergens that may be triggering your symptoms. These include food allergies—common culprits include peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, eggs, milk, wheat, and soy.

If you’ve experienced severe reactions to insect stings, such as bees, wasps, or ants, our team can evaluate your risk and help develop a personalized management plan.

Our approach combines an in-depth review of your medical history, a thorough physical examination, and advanced allergy testing. We utilize skin prick tests and blood tests that measure specific antibodies produced in response to allergens. These results enable us to accurately identify your allergy triggers and develop individualized recommendations for avoidance, treatment, and further evaluation.

Whether your insurance will cover your appointment depends on several factors, including your insurance provider, the details of your specific plan, and the reason for your visit.

Most health insurance plans provide coverage for specialist visits, including those for immunology and allergy-related conditions. If your visit to Amerimmune Clinic is medically necessary for concerns like allergies, immune system disorders, or related conditions, there is a strong chance your insurance will offer some level of coverage.

Here are a few important things to keep in mind:

• In-Network Providers: It’s important to check if Amerimmune Clinic is within your insurance network. Visiting an out-of-network provider could result in higher out-of-pocket costs or limited coverage.

• Covered Services: Your plan may have specific coverage guidelines for immunology consultations, allergy testing, or certain treatments. We recommend reviewing your insurance benefits or contacting your provider to understand what is included.

• Costs: Be aware of any copays, deductibles, or coinsurance amounts that may apply to your visit. Knowing your plan’s cost-sharing requirements can help prevent unexpected expenses.

If you have questions about your insurance coverage, our billing team at Amerimmune Clinic is here to help. We can assist in verifying your benefits, clarifying referral requirements, and answering any questions you may have about covered services and the approval process.
