What We Review

What we review locally: food allergy history, prior testing review, emergency plan review, dosing schedule discussion, and monitoring expectations. The visit also connects symptoms to coastal humidity, marine layer, grasses, eucalyptus, pets, and mold exposure near the coast, current medications, and any prior testing that may have been too broad, outdated, or disconnected from the real symptom pattern.

How to Prepare

What to bring: prior food testing, reaction records, epinephrine devices, school forms, medication lists, and any notes from previous food challenges. If you have already seen urgent care, an ENT, a pediatrician, a pulmonologist, or a previous allergist, bring those records so the Solana Beach and North County Coast team can avoid repeating work and focus on the next useful step.
