Breathe easier with personalized allergy care for allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and seasonal allergies. Dr. Ryan E. Stern, our board-certified ENT, offers patient-first, minimally invasive treatments to help you feel like yourself again.
Allergy Conditions
Allergic rhinitis (Hay fever)
Allergic rhinitis causes sneezing, congestion, runny nose, and itchy nasal passages from airborne allergens. Dr. Stern treats hay fever by identifying triggers, calming inflammation, and improving nasal airflow so you can breathe comfortably and function well year-round.
Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies flare with pollen changes common in the Pacific Northwest, leading to congestion, sneezing, and fatigue. Dr. Stern helps you manage symptoms through testing, personalized treatments, and proactive care so you can enjoy each season comfortably.
Food Allergies
Food allergy testing helps identify foods that may be causing nasal, sinus, or whole-body symptoms. Dr. Stern carefully reviews your medical history and test results to pinpoint sensitivities, recommend avoidance strategies, and support safer, more confident eating.
Allergic Rhinoconjunctivitis
Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis affects your nose and eyes, causing congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, and tearing. Dr. Stern evaluates both nasal and eye-related symptoms, offering targeted allergy testing and treatments that reduce reactions and improve comfort.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS)
Chronic rhinosinusitis involves ongoing sinus inflammation linked to allergies, causing facial pressure, congestion, drainage, and infections. Dr. Stern offers thorough evaluation, medical therapy, and minimally invasive sinus procedures to restore healthy drainage.
Allergy Treatments
Allergy Testing
Allergy testing helps pinpoint the specific triggers causing your symptoms, from pollen to dust and mold. Dr. Stern uses precise testing to identify allergens, guide treatment decisions, and create a plan that targets the root cause of your reactions.
Allergy Treatments
Allergy treatments are personalized to reduce inflammation and calm your immune response. Dr. Stern may recommend medications, nasal therapies, or in-office options that fit your lifestyle, relieve daily symptoms, and help you breathe easier with fewer flare-ups.
Food Allergy Testing
Food allergy testing helps identify foods that may trigger nasal, sinus, or systemic symptoms. Dr. Stern evaluates your history and test results carefully to clarify sensitivities, guide avoidance strategies, and support safer eating.
Allergy Shots
Allergy shots gradually retrain your immune system to tolerate allergens instead of overreacting. Dr. Stern offers immunotherapy plans to reduce symptom severity over time, lower medication reliance, and provide long-term relief through consistent, supervised treatment.
