How PCPs can improve allergy diagnoses with component testing

We explore the rising prevalence of allergies in the U.S., with nearly 1 in 3 adults and over 1 in 4 children affected. Gary Falcetano, a health care executive, explores how primary care providers are stepping up to fill the gap left by a shortage of allergists. We discuss the limitations of traditional allergy testing and the benefits of introducing allergen component testing to improve diagnosis, management, and patient care. Gary Falcetano is a health care executive. They discuss the KevinMD article, "Why you need allergen component tests to support your allergy diagnosis."
