Method of Administration

Subcutaneous Injections (Allergy Shots): This involves injecting small amounts of allergens under the skin, typically in the arm. The injections are initially given more frequently (usually weekly) and then less frequently as maintenance (every few weeks).
Sublingual Drops (Allergy Drops): These drops are placed under the tongue daily. They contain extracts of allergens that you are allergic to. The dose usually starts low and increases gradually.

Effectiveness

Subcutaneous Injections: Allergy shots are highly effective in reducing allergy symptoms and can provide long-term relief even after treatment stops. They are particularly useful for people with severe allergies or those who do not respond well to medications.
Sublingual Drops: Allergy drops are also effective, especially for allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and allergic asthma. They can be a convenient option for those who prefer at-home treatment and are unable to commit to frequent clinic visits for shots.

Safety

Subcutaneous Injections: They are generally safe but must be administered by a healthcare professional due to the risk of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).
Sublingual Drops: They are considered safe and can be administered at home after the initial prescription and guidance from a healthcare provider.

Our Testimonial

I was having a very rough time with my asthma when I first met Dr. Sahar Faghih. She talks to you, she stops to see you to understand. I have suffered with my asthma for most of my adult life. Saw many doctors who told me my asthma was going to control my life and I didn't have much of a chance for me to ever control my asthma. The last three + years my Oxygen reading where consistently in the low 90's. From day one Sahar took charge, offered me solutions and probable causes that had never been looked at. In my book she hit a home run. I am now on Tezphire, a once a month injection that has given me my life back. Yes I give her a great rating of 5 Stars, no less will do.

Dr. Sahar Faghih is very caring, knowledgeable and compassionate. When you need an allergist/immunologist you don’t feel good and you need help desperately. She sees me as a person and acknowledges my difficulties. She is not rushed in her visits. Her way of diagnosing is thorough and her treatments are targeted. She sees other possible health issues and refers to appropriate specialists to gain more insight of the patient’s condition. I am so happy to have found her.

Dr. Sahar Faghih really listens to her patients and treats the person as a whole. She answers your questions and explains what she is doing and why in a way that makes you feel like she cares about the questions and wonderings that you may have. She doesn't brush off your concerns and she makes sure that you understand the treatment and plan. She is also funny and kind! This is a wonderful bonus that makes a typical doctor's appointment more warm and encouraging. I would highly recommend Dr. Faghih to anyone looking for someone who truly listens to your story, what you're dealing with and wants to help you get better.
