FAQs
The Food Allergy Center is a specialized division of Florida Center fFor Allergy & Asthma Care (FCAAC) dedicated to the diagnosis, evaluation, and advanced treatment of food allergies. Unlike traditional food allergy management, which focuses primarily on strict avoidance and carrying emergency epinephrine, our Food Allergy Center offers three evidence-based treatment options designed to reduce your sensitivity and lower the risk of severe reactions from accidental exposure.
The Food Allergy Center is currently available at three FCAAC locations: Aventura (Miami-Dade), Palmetto Bay (Miami-Dade), and Plantation (Broward). We anticipate expanding the program to additional locations across our 19-office network in the near future.
We accept patients ages 1 and up, from toddlers to adults. Each treatment option has its own age and eligibility criteria, which your board-certified allergist will review with you during your consultation.
Your first visit is a thorough consultation with one of our board-certified allergists. We will review your allergy history, prior reactions, current medications, and any existing test results. If needed, we may perform allergy skin prick testing or order specific IgE blood tests to confirm your diagnosis and guide the recommendation for SLIT, OIT, or Xolair.
A referral is not required to schedule a consultation. However, some insurance plans require one for coverage purposes — we recommend confirming with your insurer before your visit. Referring providers can submit referrals through our online portal at florida-allergy.com.
No. If you have experienced a suspected food allergic reaction and have not yet been formally diagnosed, our allergists can evaluate and test you at your first visit.
We treat a wide range of IgE-mediated food allergies, including peanut, tree nuts (such as cashew, walnut, and hazelnut), milk, egg, and other foods depending on the treatment. Your allergist will discuss which allergens are appropriate for treatment based on your individual profile.
