I was in and out quickly. Staff was great. Problems not resolved. I know arthritis pain. Have had it for years what's going on with me is different. Was told if my thumbs were outta joint they would be bruising. My daughter's elbow was popped outta joint two times with no bruising. So I am dealing with unbearable pain. Will not go back to this facility. My health is not a joke. Do not recommend Colleen Malone. Got x-rays if my hands somewhere else, my thumbs were separated from my hands. So her diagnosis was not right due to just guessing and not taking my injury seriously 😒.

I have been having issues with extreme dizziness, earache, headaches, nausea, I finally decided to go to Dr to see what was going on and I was informed that I had inner ear. The staff was very friendly and efficient and the nurse and Dr. did an awesome job getting my ear irrigated enough to finally see there was no damage to my ear drum. Thank you all👍

The only reason I didn’t give wait time a 5 star review is because I had scheduled my appointment and did my registration online and I still had to wait about 30 minutes. I expected to wait about 15 minutes but not 30. I probably could have just walked in and waited the same amount of time because I was the only one in the waiting room when I got there. However, on the plus side, I was still called back and attended to promptly before the others who checked in after me were called back.

About Venom Testing

Venom Testing is a specialized diagnostic test designed to identify allergic reactions to venom from insect stings and bites. This test is essential for individuals who have experienced severe or life-threatening reactions to insect venom in the past, such as anaphylaxis. Venom Testing helps identify the specific insect venom responsible for the allergic reaction, enabling healthcare providers to develop personalized allergy management plans and prescribe life-saving treatments.

Who Should Get Tested

If you reside in Calhoun, Tennessee, and have a history of severe allergic reactions to insect stings or bites, Venom Testing is recommended. Additionally, individuals with a family history of insect venom allergies or those frequently exposed to insect-prone environments may also benefit from this testing to assess their risk of potential allergic reactions.

Tests Included in Venom Testing

Venom Testing typically involves:

  • Skin Prick Test: A small amount of insect venom is applied to the skin, and the skin is pricked to observe the body's reaction.
  • Intradermal Test: A small amount of diluted insect venom is injected under the skin to assess allergic response.
  • Blood Test (Specific IgE Test): Measures the levels of venom-specific antibodies in the blood.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Venom Testing results involves assessing the skin's reaction to the venom and measuring the levels of venom-specific antibodies in the blood. Positive results indicate an allergic reaction to the specific insect venom tested.

Importance of Venom Testing

Venom Testing is important for:

  • Identifying specific insect venoms that trigger allergic reactions
  • Creating personalized allergy management plans
  • Prescribing life-saving treatments, such as epinephrine auto-injectors (EpiPens)
  • Informing individuals about potential risks and preventive measures

Following the Test

After Venom Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and provide guidance on managing insect venom allergies. Those with positive results may be prescribed epinephrine auto-injectors and educated on recognizing and responding to severe allergic reactions.

Venom Testing empowers individuals in Calhoun, Tennessee, with the knowledge and tools to manage their insect venom allergies effectively and reduce the risk of life-threatening reactions.
