Contact UsWhat Are Allergies?
Sometimes you might swallow, breathe in, or touch something and have an allergic reaction. This is your immune system responding to an external allergen. In some cases, you may have an idea of what caused the reaction; other times, you may not know what caused the reaction. At Jarvis Family Medical Services and J Spa, we offer a wide range of allergy tests to help you find available treatment options to avoid common symptoms such as coughing and sneezing, wheezing, hives or swelling, congestion, or itchy nose and/or eyes. Common allergens for our Frankfort, Shelbyville, and Oldham County, KY patients include:
- Trees, flowers, pollen
- Mold
- Animals, birds, bugs
- Food
For more information on how we can test for and diagnose an allergy for yourself or a family member, contact family nurse practitioner Karla Jarvis at our office in Louisville, KY.
How Are Allergies Tested?
The only way to relieve allergy symptoms is to know which substances you or your child are allergic to. Allergy testing at our Louisville, KY office can help identify the cause of allergies, so you can better avoid exposure, whether it's from your diet, your environment, or something else. Some of the more popular allergy tests include:
- Scratch test: During this test, samples of allergens are placed under the surface of the skin to see if they cause a reaction. This is a great way to test for multiple allergens at once.
- Blood test: If your allergy symptoms are very severe, we'll perform a blood test so you don't have to come in contact with the allergen. This can detect a smaller number of allergens than the scratch test, but can still test for multiple allergens.
- Elimination diet: Described by its name, this includes slowly eliminating foods from your diet to decipher which are causing allergic reactions.

Friendly staff and service
I Love Jarvis Medical Services! I am treated just like family every time I step foot in that office!! Keep up the great work!!! THE BOMB.COM OFFICE!!! Erika was awesome!!! Thank you so much for treating me like Family!!
I'm so excited that I made the switch for me and my mother to have Karla Jarvis and associates as our new PCP. From the moment we walked in the office until the time we left, we felt confident in this decision. The staff made us feel so welcomed, the MA and APRN took the time to explain the whole process, and they addressed literally every concern we had. The better part is there was no rush for time. They also explained everything they were doing and why they were doing and I'm glad to have made this choice. Looking forward to improving mine and my mother's health through the hands of Jarvis Family and associates.
