Is an Allergist Different from a General Practitioner?

Yes. An allergist holds subspecialty training in allergy, asthma, and immunology beyond standard medical training. This focused expertise can make a meaningful difference in diagnosing complex or overlapping allergic conditions.

How Long Does Allergy Testing Take?

Plan for roughly one to two hours at your first appointment if testing is performed. Skin prick tests typically provide results within minutes during the visit itself.

Can Children Be Seen by the Allergy Doctor?

Yes. Dr. Haden treats pediatric and adult patients. Identifying allergens early in children may help reduce the risk of developing additional sensitivities over time.

Do You Accept Insurance?

The clinic works with many insurance plans. Contact the office directly at (817) 336-8855 to confirm your specific coverage before your visit.

What Does Our Allergy Doctor Treat?

Our allergy doctor can diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions that affect daily life. Arlington sits in one of the most challenging allergy environments in the country. Mountain cedar releases billions of pollen grains each winter (December through February); spring brings waves of oak, elm, and pecan pollen; Bermuda grass dominates April through October; and ragweed surges each September and October. The DFW metroplex is also designated a nonattainment area for ozone, which can worsen asthma symptoms on hot summer days.

Conditions we may treat include:

▸ Seasonal and year-round nasal allergies (cedar fever, oak, ragweed, and grass pollen).

▸ Asthma, including exercise-triggered and allergen-driven cases.

▸ Food and drug allergies, including testing and management planning.

▸ Eczema, hives, and skin-related allergic conditions.

▸ Chronic or recurrent sinus infections linked to untreated allergies.

▸ Insect venom allergy and complex immunodeficiency disorders.
