About This Practice
AIR Care is an allergy, asthma and immunology practice with offices in Plano and Dallas. According to its website, ILIT injections are performed in office, primarily at the Plano location. The practice explains that with ILIT, very small amounts of allergen extract go into a lymph node in the groin under ultrasound guidance. Its protocol is three injections total, spaced about four weeks apart. AIR Care says the procedure takes only a few minutes, followed by at least an hour of monitoring, and that it requires pre treatment medications starting two days before each injection. Mild local discomfort or swelling can occur. ILIT serums at AIR Care may include tree, grass and weed pollen, dust mites, animal dander and mold, chosen from each patient's allergy testing. The practice says ILIT isn't used for food allergies, and its providers decide whether a patient's allergy profile suits ILIT based on test results, symptom severity and medical history. AIR Care's website lists Dr. Jay Jeffers, Alicia Tran, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, and Hannah Vinyard, NP, alongside Drs. Herrscher and Saifi. It also notes that D Magazine named Dr. Saifi one of the Best Doctors in Collin County for 2026.

Patient Reviews for AIR Care, MD
Dr. Saifi is, without question, the best doctor I have ever had. After years of searching for answers, seeing countless specialists, and feeling dismissed more times than I can count, finding Dr. Saifi has been life-changing. From the very first appointment, she truly listened—not just to respond, but to understand. She never rushes through appointments, never makes me feel like I’m asking too many questions, and never makes me feel like a burden or like my symptoms are “all in my head.” What sets her apart is that she genuinely wants to find the root cause of what’s going on. She is incredibly thorough and notices things that many other physicians have overlooked. It feels like she becomes just as invested in finding answers as you are, which is such a rare quality in medicine today. She has already helped me get my MCAS much better controlled, and I finally feel like I’m making progress instead of just treating symptoms. She is exceptionally knowledgeable but has an amazing ability to explain complex medical information in a way that anyone can understand. I leave every appointment feeling informed, supported, and hopeful. If you have a complex medical condition or have spent years searching for answers, I cannot recommend Dr. Saifi enough. She is compassionate, brilliant, and truly advocates for her patients. Every physician should strive to care for patients the way she does. I am beyond grateful to have found her.
Great staff! Front office was specially helpful in aiding me to schedule my family in to see Dr. Herrscher, back office staff and the doctor was great! I would recommend this clinic to all that are searching for treatment with their allergies.
I was referred to Dr. Herrscher by my dermatologist for intractable hives following a painful wasp attack. Thanks to his expert treatment I got my life (without hives) back! Dr. Herrscher is not only the best immunologist ever, he’s also one of the most caring doctors I’ve met.
