Dear Future Allergy Patient: We are looking forward to seeing you soon! I am enclosing some information about our medical practice. I am also enclosing a medical questionnaire which we ask all our new patients to fill out. It is very important that you complete these forms prior to your appointment and bring them with you when you arrive. This information will help our specialists diagnose and formulate a treatment plan for your allergies. In order to do allergy testing, we ask all our patients to please stop taking antihistamines for 3 to 7 days prior to their scheduled appointment. Allergy testing can be an important tool in making a definitive diagnosis as to the cause of your allergies. If antihistamines are in your body s system, the test results may give us a false reading. If you have any questions about any of your medications, please give us a call and one of our nurses will be happy to assist you. Please plan to arrive approximately 15 minutes early for your appointment to allow time for checking-in and new patient processing. Thank you for choosing The Allergy & Asthma Clinic. We will do our very best to help you with your allergies. Sincerely, Your Asthma and Allergy Care Team! Please note our Cancellation Policy, as follows: Notice of cancellation or rescheduling is required no less than 24 hours prior to any scheduled appointment to allow us to give the appointment time to another patient.
