Australia and New Zealand have the highest incidence and prevalence of allergic diseases in the world. Taking into account all stats of allergy, one in every 4 people in Australia suffer from allergy, one in 10 people suffer from asthma.<\/p>

Common presentations of allergy include:\u00a0 Hay fever (runny nose and sneezing), Asthma, Eczema, Hives and food allergies. Rarely allergy may lead to a severe and life-threatening situation (anaphylaxis).<\/p>

Despite its high prevalence, allergy is underdiagnosed and undertreated. For proper diagnosis, a thorough history and examination, as well as allergy testing can be helpful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Skin prick testing is the most informative test which helps in the diagnosis of allergic conditions.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, despite the high incidence of allergy, there are very few places providing allergy services on the Sunshine Coast.
Dr Boorboor is the only doctor currently working in the allergy clinic.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we do not accept online bookings and we do require our patients to call our centre during business hours to discuss available appointment times.<\/p>\n

How long will my initial appointment take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your initial allergy appointment takes about 20-30 minutes, in this session the condition is assessed and further investigations and treatment discussed. Usually, skin prick testing is the diagnostic tool of choice.<\/p>\n

How long does the skin prick test take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The time for Skin prick testing may vary but in general, it takes 40-50 minutes, at the end of the session the result is clear and the agent can be detected. If required follow up appointments will be made in addition to dietitian support.<\/p>\n

This is a relatively safe test and major reactions are extremely uncommon. The test cannot be done on uncooperative or restless patients. Antihistamines and oral steroid tablets should be avoided for 7 days prior to the testing.<\/p>\n

How much will my appointments cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your initial allergy appointment will be $125.00 with a Medicare rebate of $82.90.  If a skin prick test is booked it is payable at the time of booking at $210 with a Medicare rebate of $ 120.90.<\/p>\n

This service is not able to be cancelled however, it can be moved to another appointment day\/time with 2 days prior notice.<\/p>\n

If required follow up appointments will be made in addition to dietitian support.<\/p>\n

CANCELLATION\/BOOKING POLICY<\/strong><\/p>\n
