Conditions, Diagnosis & Treatment
Day 1 Allergy Relief.
Breathe easier with Day 1.
Patients with asthma or allergies are often treated with allergy shots, known as allergy immunotherapy. The injections are the only treatment that can improve how a person’s body deals with allergies. But the injections are usually given one to two times per week over many months before they start working. For many busy people, that is a big commitment of time before the dosage offering optimum relief is reached.
Rapid relief from allergies & asthma.
Known as Day 1 at Allergy & Asthma Consultants, rush immunotherapy is conducted in one four-hour session in Dr. Robert Onder’s office. The protocol delivers progressively higher doses of allergen to achieve a dosage that provides relief to symptoms. Day 1 safely accelerates the process of achieving the optimum therapeutic dosage, resulting in more rapid allergy relief. Patients feel better much more quickly, rather than having to wait the typical six to nine months to achieve the dosage right for them.
Day 1 patients will need to continue weekly visits for about eight weeks and can then scale back to monthly visits. Day 1 “jump-starts” long-term treatment and overall saves patients from many weekly visits and months of misery. Insurance usually covers the cost of Day 1, which patients in the St. Louis area can access only through Dr. Onder at Allergy & Asthma Consultants, P.C.
A proven track record of success.
Over 400 patients have graduated from Day 1, with excellent results. Our patients have seen a very low reaction rate.

Fortunately, you don’t have to suffer with uncontrolled asthma – help is available. Robert Onder, MD, has been successfully treating people with this condition since 1992. In fact, Dr. Onder has been engaged in research into new treatments for asthma for the last 10 years, so his patients receive the latest treatments as they become available.
Comprehensive diagnostic testing.
At Allergy & Asthma Consultants, the focus is on finding the cause of your condition, not just treating symptoms. The treatment of your asthma begins with comprehensive diagnostic testing that may include:
• Allergy testing to determine the triggers of your asthma
• Pulmonary function testing
• Methacholine challenge testing
• Nitric oxide testing
• Pulse oximetry
Cutting-edge treatments.
Dr. Onder provides patients with access to the newest asthma treatments, including:
Allergen immunotherapy – A treatment aimed at decreasing your sensitivity to allergens, immunotherapy can lead to long-lasting relief of allergy symptoms after treatment is completed. Allergen immunotherapy also helps prevent the development of new allergies. In children, this treatment can also prevent the progression of allergic rhinitis to asthma.
Dr. Onder has developed an accelerated treatment technique for allergen immunotherapy called Day 1. Conducted in one four-hour session in Dr. Onder’s office, the protocol delivers progressively higher doses of allergen to achieve a dosage that provides relief to symptoms. This dose is achieved in one day, rather than six to nine months. Day 1 safely accelerates the process of achieving the optimum therapeutic dosage, resulting in more rapid asthma relief. Patients in the St. Louis area can only access Day 1 through Dr. Onder at Allergy & Asthma Consultants, P.C.
New drug therapies – A new injectable drug called Xolair® helps provide relief to people who suffer from allergic asthma attacks. The medication is injected just under the skin and helps block the effects of allergic reactions, which can help prevent asthma attacks.

Skin Allergies
Rapid relief from skin allergies.
Skin conditions such as eczema, hives and contact dermatitis can make your life miserable. Finding the right treatment begins with a proper diagnosis.
Robert Onder, MD, offers patients cutting-edge diagnostics and treatments as they become available. The focus is on finding the cause of your condition, not just treating symptoms. In the case of allergies, effectively treating the root cause begins with allergy testing to determine the substances to which the patient is allergic.
Comprehensive diagnostic testing & treatment.
Dr. Onder offers specialized diagnostic tests and treatments for skin conditions such as eczema, hives and contact dermatitis. Testing may be done by conventional scratch or patch testing. The T.R.U.E. Test® patch applies 29 different substances known to cause allergic contact dermatitis, to provide a more rapid diagnosis. Another alternative is a RAST test, during which blood is drawn and then tested for allergies. Remember, allergy testing should always be conducted under the supervision of a board-certified allergist/immunologist.
Once the root cause of your skin allergy is determined, treatment may consist of a mediation plan to avoid the trigger causing the symptoms. Prescription drugs, topical creams and over-the-counter medications may also provide relief.
