I thought it was extremely easy to book a lab test appointment with Quest. Getting the test done was simple and so was the getting the results! Great job putting together something so user friendly.

I was able to choose a Quest lab location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

Allergy Testing FAQs

  • Where can I get an allergy test in Durham?

    In general, allergy tests will be available at Durham-area urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care doctor offices, local pharmacies and labs. While walk-in appointments are typically available, booking a visit online will reduce your wait time and ensure you determine the cause of your allergy faster.

  • How can I book an allergy test in Durham?

    Regardless of the kind of allergy test you are seeking, Solv can help you book an appointment. Simply search for Durham-area doctors, filter by the test you want and find a top-rated provider. Be sure to include “allergy testing” and your chosen type of testing as the reason for visit.

  • Where can I get an allergy test after hours in Durham?

    Outside routine work hours, most Durham primary care offices are closed, however, most of the area’s urgent care and retail clinics are open later than typical business hours and on weekends. Book an after-hours visit to get prompt, no-hassle care and start treating your allergy even faster.

  • Can I make a same-day appointment for an allergy test in Durham?

    Same-day and next-day appointments for allergy tests can easily be booked directly through Solv. Simply search for Durham-area doctors, find a provider, and book the most convenient time for you. Be sure to include “allergy testing” as your reason for visit.

  • Who should get an allergy test?

    Individuals who experience seasonal allergies, have family members with a history of life-threatening reactions, or have an unexplained allergic reaction should seek allergy testing. Book a consultation with a doctor today to determine whether you should be tested and how to avoid allergens specific to Durham.

  • Are video visits available with allergists in Durham?

    While an allergy test cannot be performed over video, your doctor can evaluate you or your child for most concerns, such as breathing issues, food allergies, reactions to medication and skin reactions, using telemedicine. They can discuss a care plan, prescribe medications, and order blood tests if deemed necessary, all while you are safe and comfortable at home in Durham.

  • How much does an allergy test cost in Durham?

    Without insurance, a consultation with an allergist typically costs $150 to $300. Skin allergy tests can cost anywhere from $60 to $300. A blood test can cost between $200 and $1,000. Book a consultation with a doctor in Durham today to get more details on allergy test costs.

  • Is an allergy test covered by my insurance?

    Consultations with allergists and blood and skin tests are usually covered by insurance and require only a copay ranging from $20 to $40.

  • How long does an allergy test take?

    Blood allergy tests are done on samples collected in a lab. The collection itself should only take a few minutes, and the results should be ready within one to two weeks. Once you’ve received your results, your doctor can work with you to develop a treatment plan.

Getting an Allergy Test in Durham, CT

Allergies affect more than 50 million people in the United States. Allergies run in families and are especially common among children. However, they can begin at any age. Allergies can disappear for a period of time before reappearing years later.

When your body's defenses are weakened, such as during pregnancy or after an illness, allergies can flare up at any time. The sooner you discover an allergy, the easier it will be to avoid triggers and relieve your symptoms.

Allergies arise in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and they can appear in a number of ways. Allergens include pollen, dust mites, animal fur, bug bites, certain medicines, and mold. An allergic reaction can be identified by sneezing, watery eyes, a runny nose, sinus congestion, coughing, or a skin rash. Allergies may aggravate some conditions, such as asthma or eczema. If your symptoms last longer than two weeks and come again, you may have an allergy.

If you suspect you have allergies, an allergy test can help you identify specific allergens and triggers. You can then develop a treatment plan with your healthcare expert to help you avoid allergens in the future.

Multiple allergy tests may be necessary to accurately detect an allergy. If the initial skin test is inconclusive, your doctor may order a second one. Food allergy testing is more difficult and often requires an exclusion diet. An elimination diet involves removing potential allergens from your diet and gradually reintroducing them one at a time to determine whether you have any reactions. Dairy, eggs, peanuts, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish are among the foods that should be avoided.
