Services
Allergy Testing
We offer comprehensive allergy testing for pets through intradermal skin testing and blood testing methods. Our board-certified specialists identify specific allergens causing discomfort in pets. This diagnostic process enables creation of customized immunotherapy treatments to address environmental and food allergies effectively.
Ear Disease Treatment
Our practice specializes in treating chronic ear infections and inflammatory conditions using advanced techniques including video otoscopy. We address both external and middle ear disorders through targeted therapies that reduce inflammation and eliminate infections while addressing underlying causes.
Skin Biopsies
We perform diagnostic skin biopsies to identify complex dermatological conditions including autoimmune disorders and skin cancers. Our histopathology evaluations help determine precise treatment protocols for challenging skin conditions affecting pets.
Immunotherapy
Customized immunotherapy treatments are developed based on allergy test results to desensitize pets to specific allergens. This long-term solution addresses the root cause of allergic reactions rather than just managing symptoms.
Laser Surgery
We utilize laser technology for precise surgical interventions and therapeutic treatments of skin conditions. This advanced approach minimizes tissue damage while effectively addressing various dermatological issues in pets.

A great experience for my pet. A quiet, calm office which helps ease my pet's anxiety. The entire staff is lovely, always! Dr. Byrne is wonderful and created a course of treatment to help my pet's allergies. My pet is happier and healthier because of the doctor and staff at AESCA. Dr. Byrne explains everything in detail and assures you have a full understanding of issues and treatment recommendation/options.

Report
My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at AESCA in Bensalem. Dr. Byrne, Kelly, and Lindsey are all extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring individuals. We rescued Olaf (our handsome, proud, regal Tabby) when he was 5 years old. Olaf came to us with skin and nail issues. After ruling out possible dietary causes he underwent allergy testing which showed positive reactions to environmental allergens. Surgical removal and biopsies of his dewclaws showed that Olaf also has an autoimmune disorder. Unfortunately, both of these conditions will require ongoing medical evaluations and treatments. FORTUNATELY, Dr. Byrne, Kelly, and Lindsey are the medical team that will see us through this.
While maintaining the right amount of professionalism they have answered multiple questions and have allowed us to be "crazy cat parents". They never make us feel like our questions are unwelcome. They are kind and gentle with Olaf. We trust them with our baby! We would highly recommend this wonderful team!
