Appointment required:  An appointment is required for all services in this clinic. For Travel Health Services, follow these instructions.  For other services, call 734-764-8325 to schedule. Same-day appointments may be available except for Travel Health Services.

Allergy testing and treatment:  The UHS allergist is available to consult with eligible students, faculty and staff regarding a variety of allergic conditions, including hay fever, hives, food allergies, asthma, insect sting allergies, contact dermatitis, eczema, and chronic sinus problems.

If allergy skin testing is indicated, it will be ordered by the allergist during a consultation, and performed at a return visit.

For allergies that require desensitization treatment (also called immunotherapy or allergy shots), allergy antigen may be ordered and prepared at UHS or you may bring in your own from your private physician. These antigens will be properly stored in the Clinic and administered to you by the nursing staff.

In order to reduce the amount of client time involved in standard visits for an immunotherapy program, the Allergy Clinic offers a computerized self check-in procedure. This process helps quickly facilitate your clinic visits and reduces waiting time.

Although homeopathic allergy management is not offered, you and the allergist may opt to pursue a more natural approach to managing allergy symptoms.

• Chicken pox (varicella)
• Hepatitis A and B
• HPV Vaccine
