-- With this year’s early arrival of spring, allergy season is already in full affect, making spring allergy symptoms more prevalent than usual for this time of year. In central Ohio, allergy specialist Premier Allergy is seeing an influx in patients, with seasonal allergens making an early appearance.
The unusually warm weather residents experienced in February has caused trees, flowers and other plants to bloom early, triggering the appearance of seasonal pollen earlier than past years. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology’s National Allergy Bureau, parts of the U.S. are already experiencing high concentrations of pollen.
Compared to the same time last year, Premier Allergy’s patient numbers have nearly doubled every month in 2017.
In addition to the early start of allergy season, doctors are predicting that the season will last longer than usual as well.
Chris Lowe, VP of Operations at Premier Allergy, says that he is not surprised at the influx of patients seeking relief from early seasonal allergies. “With spring in Ohio beginning as early as February this year, it’s no wonder why people have already started suffering from seasonal allergies,” Lowe says.
Premier Allergy was voted the #1 allergist in Columbus this past year, making a popular choice among locals looking for allergy relief. With 10 locations throughout Columbus, the doctors at Premier Allergy are highly experienced in testing and treating for allergies in an area where spring pollen is widespread.
When it comes to avoiding airborne allergens like pollen, Dr. Summit Shah, allergist at Premier Allergy, has some advice.
“Try to stay indoors when you can, especially when pollen counts are extremely high, and keep your windows closed,” he says. “If you go outside for long periods of time, make sure you take a shower and wash your clothes at the end of the day, to get rid of any pollen that may be on your clothes or skin.”
Premier Allergy tests its patients for a variety of allergens, including chemicals, medications/drugs and food. It offers numerous ways to test for allergies, most of which are needle-free methods. Premier Allergy is also one of only a handful of Columbus allergists that are proficient in nasal endoscopy.
Premier Allergy’s testing techniques utilize the latest medical advances, and its staff is dedicated to providing patients with a speedy and accurate diagnosis, and an effective treatment plan. It offers rush immunotherapy; a state-of-the-art treatment plan similar to allergy shots that is administered over the course of a few hours to rapidly build up your body’s resistance to allergens.
Columbus’ best allergist can treat adults, children and whole families at any of its ten locations. The staff includes a pediatric allergist who can perform needle-free testing, an alternative way to screen for allergies that is ideal for children who may be afraid of needles.
Premier Allergy has locations in Dublin, Westerville, Canal Winchester, Lancaster, Marysville, Powell, Delaware, New Albany, Hilliard and Grove City.
