Access to a complete, in-house clinical lab is another reason why Northwestern Nasal and Sinus provides you with a new standard of allergy care. We’re able to provide all of the most accurate tests and treatments on-site – without requiring you to make a separate appointment and leave the office to visit another lab.

Our in-office clinical laboratory allows us to offer patients the most accurate in-vitro allergy test: Specific IgE Enzyme Immunosorbent Assay (EIA). Since testing is performed on-site, we are able to continuously monitor quality control and validation. Our CLIA and OSHA regulated laboratory meets the federal government's highest practice standards for clinical safety and data accuracy designed to ensure optimal test performance. Gale L. Suwe, BS, MT (ASCP) SBB, Clinical Laboratory Manager, conducts and oversees the entire EIA testing process. Gale is a Medical Technologist with advanced certification in Blood Banking and has extensive clinical laboratory experience in performing EIA testing.
