Why See a Board-Certified Allergist Instead of an ENT or Primary Care?

Hobe Sound's smaller community size means residents often have to travel for specialty care. For allergy and immunology, the practice's Jupiter location is the closest option for true specialty-level care. The practice focuses exclusively on allergic, asthmatic, and immunologic conditions, which means depth of evaluation and treatment range that a generalist office cannot match.

Allergy & Asthma Services for Hobe Sound Patients

Hobe Sound patients come to the practice for:


  • Environmental, food, drug, and insect sting allergy testing


  • Allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy) and sublingual immunotherapy


  • Asthma diagnosis, FeNO testing, and ongoing management


  • Biologic medications for severe asthma, chronic hives, and atopic dermatitis


  • Penicillin allergy testing and de-labeling


  • Eczema and atopic dermatitis care


  • Chronic hives and urticaria evaluation

Hobe Sound Allergy Environment and What Makes Care Here Different

Hobe Sound sits in a microclimate that combines beach, intracoastal, and the edge of Jonathan Dickinson State Park's pine flatwoods and wetland habitat. That mix creates an unusual allergen profile: salt air, pine pollen in spring, year-round mold and humidity, and a strong post-storm spike in mold and dust mite activity. Patients here tend to underestimate how much pine and wetland exposure contributes to their symptoms until testing identifies the trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How far is the allergist office from Hobe Sound?

    The drive from central Hobe Sound to our Jupiter office is approximately 12 miles, roughly 15 to 20 minutes on US-1 South. Patients tell us the drive is straightforward and worth not having to bounce between providers for related conditions.

  • Can pine pollen cause allergies in Hobe Sound?

    Yes. Pine pollen is a common springtime allergen in the Hobe Sound area, particularly for patients living near Jonathan Dickinson State Park or in neighborhoods with significant pine cover. Pine pollen is highly visible (the yellow film on cars in spring) but is actually a less aggressive allergen than oak or grass pollen for most patients. Testing can identify whether it is a primary trigger for you.

  • What happens at a first allergy appointment?

    A first appointment runs roughly 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Jacobs reviews your medical history in detail, discusses your current symptoms and their patterns, performs the appropriate testing (usually skin prick testing, which delivers same-day results), reads the results with you, and develops a treatment plan. You leave with a clear understanding of what is causing your symptoms and what the next steps are.

  • Do you treat children from Hobe Sound?

    Yes. Dr. Jacobs treats both adults and children. Food allergy testing for kids, childhood asthma evaluation, and pediatric eczema are common reasons families from Hobe Sound come to the practice.

  • Are allergies and asthma related?

    Often, yes. The 'allergic march' is a well-documented pattern in which patients develop eczema in infancy, food allergies in early childhood, allergic rhinitis in later childhood, and asthma as the condition progresses. Many adults with asthma have an underlying allergic driver that, when identified and treated, dramatically improves asthma control. A board-certified allergist is trained to evaluate both ends of this spectrum.
