The physicians at the Allergy Center of Augusta – Aiken ENT & Allergy have been providing patients with premier allergy for more than 30 years. That standard of excellence continues today as we test and treat patients in both of our state-of-the-art allergy clinics.
Each year our doctors see hundreds of patients suffering from allergic problems such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever, seasonal allergies), urticaria (hives) and mild asthma. The premise of these conditions is that the body over-reacts to harmless stimuli in the environment, like dust or pollen. This reaction causes the release of chemicals in the body, such as histamine, which leads to the development of allergy symptoms.
