Allergy and Asthma Specialty Service, P.S. of Tacoma is an allergist in Tacoma, WA. The practice treats adult and pediatric allergy and asthma, offering allergy shots, allergy testing, and asthma testing. Its physicians are board certified by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the team brings more than 25 years of dedication to patients. Care is provided at offices in Lakewood, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Olympia, and Silverdale, serving Tacoma and the surrounding areas.

The practice tests for allergies, asthma, hay fever, and eczema, and its diagnostic work identifies what a patient is reacting to so treatment can begin. For asthma, doctors perform breathing tests and methacholine challenges, and treatment aims to control symptoms with the minimal amount of medications and antihistamines. Options include allergy shots and biologics, an immunologic targeted therapy that can be administered every two to eight weeks for patients with poorly controlled asthma. Hay fever from trees, grass, weeds, molds, cats, dogs, and feathers is diagnosed and treated as well. The team works with each patient to understand their symptoms and build a management plan that lets them go about daily life.

The practice also advises patients on when comprehensive allergy testing makes sense, such as allergies that persist for two weeks or more at a time, symptoms that over-the-counter medication does not relieve, or reactions that continue despite avoiding suspected triggers.

Allergy and Asthma Specialty Service, P.S. holds a rating of 4.40 based on customer reviews, reflecting a positive rating from the patients who have reviewed it. Its physicians have received Seattle's Top Doctors, Patient's Choice Award, Compassionate Doctor Recognition, and Who's Who Among Physicians Award.

For Tacoma residents dealing with allergies or asthma, the practice brings board-certified physicians and more than two decades of experience to the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
