Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

See Allergist: An allergist is specifically trained in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies including food and animal dander allergies. When avoidance measures are not practical or not sufficient, an allergist can assist in a program of medications and allergy injections.
