Services
Allergy Testing
Our comprehensive allergy testing identifies environmental and food allergens through skin prick testing, patch testing, and blood analysis. We help patients understand their specific triggers and develop targeted treatment strategies. Our diagnostic approach combines patient history with advanced testing methods to ensure accurate results.
Immunotherapy
We offer traditional allergy shots and sublingual immunotherapy to build tolerance against allergens. Our treatment plans address pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold allergies. We also provide QUICK-LI intralymphatic immunotherapy for faster results with fewer injections.
Food Allergy Testing
Our specialized food allergy testing identifies common triggers like milk, eggs, nuts, and shellfish. We use skin testing and blood analysis to diagnose reactions, with oral challenges for inconclusive cases. We provide personalized avoidance plans and emergency treatment guidance.
Asthma Treatment
We diagnose and manage asthma through pulmonary function testing and personalized treatment plans. Our approach includes inhaler therapy, biologic medications, and trigger avoidance strategies. We help patients control symptoms and improve lung function through comprehensive care.
Patch Testing
Our patch testing identifies contact allergens causing eczema and skin rashes. We test for reactions to metals, fragrances, and chemicals over 96 hours. This delayed hypersensitivity testing helps patients identify and avoid substances triggering dermatitis symptoms.

I had a horrible allergic reaction for days that wasn't going away and went to 3 different doctors, took medication and nothing was helping. I was running out of options, and I got lucky Dr Ho was able to see me during her break the day I called. Within 10 minutes of talking to her she knew exactly what to do, the perfect medications, and just like that I was good to go! All my rash's, hives, and coughs disappeared. She's a magician and I'd give her 10 stars if I could. I'm not a fan of going to the doctors or even writing reviews, but wow she's super smart and experienced. One of the best doctors

Dr. Ho is an extremely knowledgable and kind doctor. I have felt nothing but the best care since I met her and am very happy with my experience. I've been her patient for a while and am now receive my shots once every 2-3 weeks. The kindness and ease with which she helps me negotiate the complex allergies I sadly have has made everything form hay fever to food allergies more clear, less problematic and my most severe symptoms are gone. I am so grateful for my care at Dr. Ho's practice.

I could not ask for a better doctor than Dr. Ho! She solved my allergy problems after my first visit a couple of years ago and continues to provide the best medical care. If youre itchy, sneezy, scratchy- dont wait any longer, shes simply the best!

Dr. Ho is the most professional, easy-to-talk-to and well-organized physician Ive visited in six years of living in the United States. Her practice is exceptionally well-run and her staff maintains the high standard she sets. Would not hesitate to recommend seeing Dr. Ho.
