Allergies can affect far more than just your comfort—they can impact your sleep, productivity, energy levels, and overall quality of life. Whether you're dealing with seasonal sneezing, year-round nasal congestion, itchy eyes, or chronic sinus pressure, untreated allergies can become a frustrating daily burden. For residents of Beverly Hills seeking real relief, visiting an ENT specialist with a deep understanding of allergies and sinus health is a game-changer.
Dr. David Ghiam is a leading ENT physician serving the Beverly Hills community from his office in Century City. Just minutes from Beverly Hills, his practice provides comprehensive allergy testing, diagnosis, and treatment tailored to each patient’s needs. With a personalized and results-focused approach, Dr. Ghiam helps patients finally get relief from allergy symptoms that have persisted for months—or even years.
A Convenient Location for Beverly Hills Residents
When you're dealing with allergy symptoms, the last thing you want is a long, complicated journey to get care. Dr. Ghiam’s office is located in Century City, a prestigious Los Angeles neighborhood that shares a border with Beverly Hills. This makes his practice easily accessible for patients throughout Beverly Hills, whether you’re coming from the Golden Triangle, Beverly Grove, or Trousdale Estates.
Patients appreciate the central location, the ease of parking, and the peaceful, modern office environment. Dr. Ghiam's practice was designed with comfort and convenience in mind, ensuring that each visit is efficient and stress-free. For Beverly Hills residents who expect premium care with minimal hassle, the short drive to Century City is well worth it.
Why See an ENT for Allergies?
When most people think of allergies, they picture over-the-counter antihistamines or a quick trip to the pharmacy. But for patients with moderate to severe allergies—or symptoms that don’t improve with basic treatment—it’s important to dig deeper. That’s where an ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor) with expertise in allergy care can make all the difference.
Dr. Ghiam specializes in identifying and treating allergies that affect the nose, sinuses, throat, and respiratory system. Many of the symptoms patients assume are “just allergies” may actually be linked to chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or structural issues in the nasal passages that make symptoms worse. As both an ENT and allergy specialist, Dr. Ghiam takes a comprehensive look at your entire upper airway to determine exactly what’s causing your symptoms—and how to treat them effectively.
Comprehensive Allergy Testing
The first step toward relief is understanding what you're allergic to. Dr. Ghiam offers precise, in-office allergy testing to identify common triggers, including:
- Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds
- Dust mites
- Mold spores
- Pet dander
- Cockroach allergens
- Certain foods (in appropriate clinical settings)
Unlike at-home tests or generic allergy panels, Dr. Ghiam’s allergy testing is performed and interpreted by a medical expert who considers your full history, environment, and symptoms. This ensures that your results are not only accurate but meaningful in the context of your everyday life in Beverly Hills.
Personalized Allergy Treatment Plans
Once your triggers are identified, Dr. Ghiam develops a personalized treatment plan based on your specific allergy profile and symptom severity. No two patients are alike—what works for one person may not work for another. That’s why every treatment plan is customized for you.
Treatment options may include:
- Prescription-strength antihistamines or nasal sprays for short-term relief
- Allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots) to desensitize your immune system over time
- Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for patients who prefer a needle-free option
- Sinus rinses, decongestants, and nasal steroids to reduce inflammation and pressure
- Minimally invasive procedures like balloon sinuplasty for patients with chronic sinus blockages
For many of Dr. Ghiam’s Beverly Hills patients, the goal is not just to manage symptoms—it’s to reduce or eliminate them entirely through long-term strategies.
Treating Seasonal and Year-Round Allergies
Treating Seasonal and Year-Round Allergies
In Beverly Hills, the beautiful climate often brings with it a host of allergens that can wreak havoc on your sinuses and overall comfort. Seasonal allergies, caused by pollen from trees, grasses, and flowers, typically flare up in the spring and fall, leading to sneezing, watery eyes, itchy throats, and nasal congestion. These symptoms are common for many Beverly Hills residents, as the area’s natural surroundings and landscaping contribute significantly to pollen levels during certain times of the year. For others, allergies don’t follow a seasonal pattern, causing discomfort all year round.
Year-round allergies—sometimes referred to as perennial allergies—are usually triggered by indoor allergens such as dust mites, mold, pet dander, and even cockroach allergens. These can be just as troublesome, if not more so, because they persist no matter the season. Whether you are affected by one or both types of allergens, Dr. Ghiam provides comprehensive care designed to relieve symptoms and improve your quality of life, no matter the time of year.
Seasonal Allergy Relief
If you're one of the many individuals in Beverly Hills who suffer from seasonal allergies, you know just how overwhelming it can be to face allergy season each year. The symptoms—like constant sneezing, itchy or swollen eyes, a runny nose, and a scratchy throat—can not only make it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities but also interfere with daily tasks and productivity. Dr. Ghiam’s approach to treating seasonal allergies involves not only identifying the exact triggers (whether it’s tree pollen in the spring, grass pollen in the summer, or weed pollen in the fall) but also creating a proactive treatment plan that works throughout the season.
Treatment may include prescription-strength antihistamines, nasal sprays, or decongestants to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms quickly. For more severe cases, Dr. Ghiam may recommend allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots) to help desensitize your immune system to specific allergens over time. Allergy shots can be especially helpful for people who experience more intense reactions and need a long-term solution.
Year-Round Allergy Management
When allergies persist throughout the year, they can be particularly frustrating, as it feels like there’s no end to the symptoms. Year-round allergies are often triggered by things we come into contact with daily, such as dust mites in bedding or carpets, mold spores in damp environments, and pet dander that accumulates over time. Unlike seasonal allergies, which have a defined start and end, perennial allergies are ongoing and can make you feel as though you're constantly battling congestion, sinus pressure, or post-nasal drip.
For these persistent symptoms, Dr. Ghiam works with each patient to identify the specific allergens causing trouble and develop a tailored treatment plan. For some patients, managing year-round allergies means taking a long-term approach with medications like nasal corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation, or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), an alternative to traditional allergy shots that involves placing drops under the tongue for gradual desensitization.
A Personalized Approach to Treatment
Whether you're dealing with seasonal allergies or year-round triggers, Dr. Ghiam understands that every patient’s needs are different. That’s why he takes a personalized approach to allergy treatment, starting with a thorough evaluation that includes allergy testing to pinpoint the exact causes of your symptoms. Based on your specific triggers, Dr. Ghiam will develop a treatment plan that could include lifestyle modifications, medications, or immunotherapy options, helping you find lasting relief.
For patients with severe or chronic symptoms, additional treatments such as sinus rinses, nasal steroid sprays, or even balloon sinuplasty—a minimally invasive procedure to open up blocked sinus passages—can provide more permanent solutions. With Dr. Ghiam’s comprehensive care, you’ll not only address your immediate symptoms but also work towards a long-term strategy for living allergy-free, no matter what season it is.
Chronic Sinus Infections and Allergy-Related Conditions
For some patients, untreated allergies lead to more serious issues—especially chronic sinus infections. If you frequently feel pressure in your face, have difficulty breathing through your nose, or experience recurring sinus infections that don’t respond well to antibiotics, allergies may be playing a role.
Dr. Ghiam uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to determine whether allergies are causing or contributing to your sinus problems. If so, he can treat both the inflammation and the infection, helping to break the cycle of recurring symptoms. In some cases, he may recommend balloon sinuplasty—a minimally invasive procedure that opens up blocked sinus passages without the need for traditional surgery.
Allergy Care for Children and Adults
Allergies don’t discriminate by age—children, teens, and adults can all experience allergy symptoms that interfere with daily life. Dr. Ghiam treats patients of all ages and takes care to explain each step of the evaluation and treatment process in simple, reassuring terms.
For children in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ghiam often works with parents to identify allergy triggers that may be affecting sleep, school performance, or behavior. He offers gentle allergy testing and age-appropriate treatment options, including sublingual drops for kids who may not be ready for allergy shots.
Adults often come in with a long history of untreated allergies, frustrated by over-the-counter medications that don’t deliver real results. Dr. Ghiam helps adult patients find long-term relief through a combination of medication, immunotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments that are sustainable and effective.
Discreet, Personalized Care for Beverly Hills Patients
