Bay Area Allergy and AsthmaILIT Provider in St. Petersburg, FL (Central Ave)

About This Practice

Bay Area Allergy and Asthma has cared for allergy and asthma patients in St. Petersburg for more than 18 years, according to its website. Dr. Mona Mangat, the practice's owner, is board certified in allergy and immunology and completed her allergy and immunology fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Stephanie Blenner, a certified physician assistant (PA-C), is also on the practice's team. For ILIT in St. Petersburg, the practice offers intralymphatic immunotherapy as Accelerated Allergy Treatment (AAT), a faster alternative to allergy shots. It says AAT starts with an evaluation by Dr. Mangat and allergy skin prick testing. If AAT is the right fit, she prepares allergy serum made for you, and each injection is placed in a lymph node in the groin under ultrasound guidance, followed by a one hour wait in the office. The practice describes three injections spaced four weeks apart, with results expected within three to four months, compared with the 3 to 5 year commitment of traditional allergy shots. It recommends finishing treatment at least eight weeks before your worst allergy season. According to the practice, AAT can treat tree, grass and weed pollens, animal dander, mold and dust mites, but not food allergies, and patients bring an EpiPen on treatment days. Alongside AAT, Bay Area Allergy and Asthma lists allergy testing, allergy shots, asthma care and food allergy treatment.
