Welcome to Allergy and Asthma Specialists, serving Durango, Colorado, and the Four Corners region with board-certified allergy, asthma, and immunology care since 1995.
We're aware that some of you received letters from UnitedHealthcare stating we will be out-of-network starting June 2025. This is incorrect. We are still in-network with UnitedHealthcare. The letter was due to a documentation issue, which we are actively resolving. Please disregard the notice. We will continue accepting UnitedHealthcare and look forward to supporting your care.
Information for Shot (Allergy Immunotherapy) Clinic Patients:
Allergy shot patients who have opted in to receive shot clinic notifications will receive a monthly email or text with any upcoming closures and important clinic updates.
Step 1 : Download the “Mobile Check In” app on your phone. Please allow the app to use your location while open. Please fill out the patient profile and save. We need all fields filled out except your email address. Once this is completed and saved it will pre-populate when you’re checking in for allergy shots in the future.
Step 2 : Once your profile is completed and your locations are on, you are ready to check in for your allergy shot. Under “choose a location” tap on Allergy & Asthma Specialists. Information is encrypted and HIPAA compliant.
Step 3 : Under “choose a profile to send,” tap on your completed profile box with your name and phone number in it. Answer the 2 questions, skip reason and sub-reason and tap “submit.”
You will receive a Confirmation Message from the app that says “Thank you! We will text you when we are ready for you.” Wait times are usually short, but could be a little longer as multiple patients can check in at the same time. Please do not call the office unless you need to leave prior to receiving your shot, you haven’t received the confirmation message, or have waited more than 20 minutes. Busiest times tend to be Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon.
You will receive a Text Message to your phone number saying “We are ready for you now. Please come to our back door marked 104 Private.” Immediately come to our back entrance (the one with the red stool next to it) on the South side of the building facing East Park Ave. Please do not come to that entrance until you receive the Text Message that we are ready for you.
Step 4: After you have received your allergy shot it is very important you wait for 20 minutes in close proximity to the office in case you experience a systemic reaction. These reactions are rare, but do happen on occasion and can be severe. If you do not feel right in any way after receiving your allergy shot, please come to our office thru the front door and let our front desk know.
Please Note:
You must be close to our office to use the program. Any parking spot around our building is fine. Once you’ve parked follow the above steps. (Make sure Location is turned on.)
The phone number must be the cell phone you’ll have with you for the shot (this includes anyone else bringing the patient—a child’s information must include the number of the person bringing the child); this is the number to which the app will send messages. Each person getting shots within a family needs to log in separately.
The American Board of Allergy and Immunology is a conjoint board of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics; therefore, we see people of all ages. The specialty of Allergy and Immunology involves the diagnosis and treatment of allergic (atopic) diseases and diseases of the immune system. These include allergic rhinitis (hay fever), sinus infections or sinusitis, asthma, eczema (atopic dermatitis), food allerges, drug reactions, acute and chronic hives, insect sting reactions, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and eye symptoms related to allergy, immune system problems including recurrent or unusual infections associated with depressed immunity, and certain autoimmune diseases.
