Allergy and immunology services

Seasonal allergy symptoms aren't only a bother, but as allergy sufferers can attest, they're a huge hindrance to your everyday activities. During the Sacramento allergy season, watery eyes, sneezing, nasal congestion and wheezing can affect your ability to sleep, work and perform outdoor activities. Allergies can even lead to severe symptoms such as asthma.

Allergies occur when your body reacts to certain outside substances that trigger a reaction, or overreaction, from your immune system. Triggers can come from certain food, animals, or seasonal allergens including pollens, grass and molds. Allergy testing can determine what substances, animals and food your body is allergic to, allowing you to avoid an allergy attack before it happens.

If you suffer from asthma, allergy help is a necessity. Opt for Sacramento allergy testing, and find out what allergens trigger your asthma attacks.

Endocrinology services

An endocrinologist cares for disorders of the endocrine system—the system of glands that produces hormones. Mercy Medical Group endocrinologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the glandular system and metabolism - most commonly diabetes and thyroid diseases.

The endocrine system consists of several glands in different parts of the body that secrete hormones directly into the blood rather than into a duct system. Hormones have many different functions and modes of action; one hormone may have several effects on different target organs, and, conversely, one target organ may be affected by more than one hormone.

We offer a wide array of endoscopic services of the upper GI tract including pancreaticobiliary endoscopy and therapy, endoscopic stenting, diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy. 

Some of the diseases we manage include inflammatory bowel diseases, peptic disease and small bowel disorders. Our medical team also assists in the diagnosis and management of GI malignancies and a variety of chronic hepatic disorders including hepatitis and cirrhosis.
