Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What is a Food Allergy?
A Food Allergy is an immune response triggered by specific foods, causing symptoms ranging from mild hives to severe anaphylaxis.
What symptoms suggest a possible Food Allergy?
Common symptoms include hives, swelling, stomach pain, nausea, throat tightness, breathing difficulty, or vomiting.
What foods commonly cause allergic reactions?
Common triggers include peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, dairy, eggs, wheat, and soy. However, any food can potentially cause a reaction.
When should I seek urgent care for a Food Allergy?
Seek urgent care for severe swelling, difficulty breathing, throat tightness, dizziness, or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Can Food Allergy symptoms be evaluated through telehealth?
Telehealth can review symptoms and reaction history, but in-person evaluation may be recommended for physical assessment.
Do all reactions require allergy testing?
Not always. Providers determine testing needs based on severity, frequency, and pattern of reactions.
Is a Food Allergy the same as a food intolerance?
No. Intolerances involve digestion issues, while allergies involve the immune system and may be more serious.
Can providers prescribe medication for Food Allergies?
Yes. Providers can recommend or prescribe antihistamines, steroids, or epinephrine when medically appropriate.
Is this visit covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover Food Allergy evaluations. Coverage varies by plan and medical need.
Can children be evaluated for Food Allergies?
Yes. Children commonly experience Food Allergy symptoms and are fully eligible for evaluation and treatment.
How does an in-home visit help with anxiety about reactions?
In-home evaluations reduce exposure risk, eliminate travel, and allow patients to remain in a comfortable environment.
Can mild symptoms progress to severe reactions?
Yes. Allergic reactions can be unpredictable. Providers help determine your risk and create a safety plan.
Are Food Allergies lifelong?
Some are lifelong (like peanut or shellfish), while others—such as dairy or egg allergies—may be outgrown.
What treatment options are available?
Treatment may include symptom relief medications, avoidance strategies, emergency action plans, and referral for specialist testing.
