Allergy Asthma and Immunology
At Tanner Clinic, Allergy, we help those who may be experiencing issues with Allergy, Asthma, and/or Immunology. Allergy treatment involves the medical care of exaggerated or pathological reactions to substances, situations, or physical states. Allergists are experts in treating allergies with ongoing and seasonal treatments including medicine, shots, immunotherapy, and tablets. Our board-certified providers come with the expertise, training, and years of experience to help find solutions. Allergy testing can help people learn what is making them sick, empowering them in avoidance techniques. Whether you have food or environmental allergies, our providers are here to help you!
CONDITIONS WE TREAT:
Some allergy problems – such as a mild case of hay fever – may not need treatment. Sometimes your allergies can be controlled with over-the-counter medication. On the other hand, allergies can sometimes interfere with your day-to-day activities or negatively affect your quality of life regularly. Depending on the severity of the allergy, it can even be life-threatening.
Tanner Clinic is a renowned Utah-based medical clinic providing expertise in a wide range of services throughout Davis and Weber counties including Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Our specialty clinic is one of the leading centers for food allergies, asthma, and immunology diagnosis and treatment. We are now accepting new patients at our Layton and Murray locations. In addition, we offer oral immune therapy (OIT), supervised oral food challenge, aeroallergen immunotherapy, skin prick testing, patch testing, component-resolved diagnostics, endoscopies, and various breath tests.
Once we have taken a comprehensive oral medical history and evaluated your conditions, we will provide a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan. We treat patients with immunodeficiency diseases and problems with the immune system, including autoimmune diseases, organ transplantation, and malignancies of the immune system.

HOW CAN ALLERGY TREATMENT HELP ME?
With the help of an allergist, symptoms usually can be prevented or controlled with a major improvement in quality of life. One of the most common allergy treatments is allergy shots or immunotherapy. An allergy test determines the patient’s allergies, then an allergy shot will be tailored to those sensitivities. Over time these shots can help the patient build up a tolerance or immunity to the things they are allergic to.
Our board-certified allergy and asthma specialists incorporate a wide range of cutting-edge allergy testing including mostly needle-free allergy testing, skin tests, blood tests, and elimination diets that rule out allergies such as food, metals, latex, medication, and pollen.
You may have allergies if you are experiencing symptoms such as itchy watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing and chronic cough, wheezing, or swelling, and other skin conditions like hives, eczema, or contact dermatitis. Visit one of our allergy physicians in Layton or Murray to determine what you are allergic to so you can avoid it in the future.
WHAT IS ASTHMA?
Asthma is a chronic disease that causes your airways to become inflamed, making it hard to breathe. While there is no cure for asthma, it can be managed by avoiding triggers, taking medications to prevent symptoms, and treating asthma episodes if they occur.
Common symptoms are coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. Asthma may lead to a medical emergency. It is important to know the signs of a severe asthma episode (or asthma attack). A trigger is something you are sensitive to that makes your airways become inflamed. Common asthma triggers are pollen, chemicals, extreme weather changes, smoke, dust mites, stress, and exercise.
HOW IS ASTHMA DIAGNOSED?
A doctor may use a few different ways of testing for asthma. These include:
Taking a detailed medical history
•A physical exam
•Lung function tests
•Chest or sinus X-ray
The doctor will look at the results from these tests. They will then decide what type of asthma you have. They will develop a treatment plan based on the type and severity of your symptoms.
