The specialism of allergology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of allergies. An allergy is an unexpected and severe reaction to certain substances. Such an allergic reaction can vary from mild (red spots) to severe (swelling). To determine whether you have an allergy, a comprehensive allergy test often helps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
You can come to us with any questions and problems related to a skin or respiratory reaction. During our allergology consultation hours you can tell the allergist about your symptoms, which include:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can also discuss allergies that cause respiratory, skin and gastrointestinal symptoms. At DC Klinieken, allergists work closely together with dermatologists and nutritionists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During the consultation hours you will see a treating specialist, who will discuss your symptoms with you and may conduct additional physical assessments. An allergy skin test is often necessary. The specialist determines which allergenic substances will be tested, then the doctor\u2019s assistant administers the allergy test.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whenever possible, other assessments \u2013 such as blood tests, lung function tests and a talk with the nutritionist \u2013 will take place at the same time as the allergy tests.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The allergology consultation hours fall under basic insurance, so this is fully covered by your health insurer. You will still need a referral from your GP or specialist. Do not forget to take your deductible into account. The deductible does not apply for patients (children) up to the age of 18.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Note: Standard fees are generally charged for this specialism, so you may receive a relatively high invoice for a short consultation.<\/p>\n
