2nd opinion was more than what I expected. I not only was able to explain symptoms but also get educated on how to resolve the issue. So so worth the drive as we live 1 hour away. I highly recommend them and Victoria was a pleasure to get help from.
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) is a safe and effective treatment option for allergies to dust mites, pollen, ragweed, cat dander, and grass.
SLIT has also been shown to be effective in some cases of childhood eczema, and are also being studied for treatment of food allergies, and other allergens.
⚕️ If you or your child suffers from allergies, speak with us about allergy testing to determine your sensitivities. Once we know what you’re allergic to, we can formulate a treatment plan which may include sublingual therapies.
SLIT can be in pill or liquid form and is administered under the tongue, and then swallowed after a minute or two. The treatment is repeated multiple times a week, sometimes daily, and may need to be continued for a few years to build up the body’s natural immunity to the allergen.
When the drops are placed under the tongue, there is an entire scientific process that happens. We have a lot of cells under our tongue called dendrites cells. These cells carry the allergens in the drops to the helper cells in the body that are responsible for our immune response. Through this constant communication, the body starts to recognize the allergens as a normal response and symptoms subside. Overtime, the allergens dissipate, and the child can live freely without debilitating symptoms.
IS IT SAFE? Yes! SLIT is very safe, for both adults and children as young as 4 months. It is safer and gentler than shots and is able to be administered at home once allergy testing is done and a care plan is established by your provider.
DOES IT REALLY WORK? Yep! Many published scientific studies have shown that it significantly reduces allergy symptoms. SLIT is repeated throughout the allergy season, or sometimes year round, and is recommended to be continued for 3-5 years to help the body build lasting, lifelong immunity.
DOES INSURANCE COVER IT? Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover SLIT. We offer many payment options and we can also provide a superbill to be submitted to insurance if you’d like to try for coverage assistance. SLIT is pretty economical, however, especially when compared to allergy shots. SLIT averages to about $45/month. For root cause treatment and lasting relief from allergies, the cost is worth it!
HOW DO IT GET IT? Make an appointment with us or your pediatrician for a visit where we will discuss your individual needs, any testing or additional treatments needed, and develop a plan. Once a plan is a established, it’s possible to administer future doses of SLIT from the comfort of home.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Cost is specific per patient based on the unique plan developed by the provider, but it averages around $45/month.
IS TREATMENT CUSTOMIZED? Yes, SLIT treatment is specific to each child. We will see your child for a visit where we will determine what testing is needed in order to develop a customized plan.
At Well-Rooted, the testing we provide looks for allergens, candida, and sometimes even work up for the gut. Based on the findings, we work with the patient 1:1, the Functional Nutritionists, apply dietary changes, and supplement regimens to heal the body and bring it back to the level of homeostasis and normalcy.

Where do I begin????? I’m going to begin by telling you all a little back history about how I found this Diamond. I went through the wringer with my toddler since the day she was born. Doctors under the sun couldn’t give me anything but short answers, I paid so much money for better care and I was tossed around with questions and no answers. My baby was in need of somebody to just examine her properly and no matter how hard I looked it seemed impossible. that was in the past, until Jessica welcomed us with open arms, found the problem and continues to bless us with answers to our concerns by addressing them in a way that nobody ever has. We have seen major improvements in our daughter by following everything Jessica says, if you got to this page, I highly reccomend her. My daughter has seen so many doctors, been poked and pronged so many times that she doesn’t even like to be seen anymore. Trauma. But Jessica is patient, and kind. And she will find a way to get them to like her. My kid smiled for her and that was enough for me. And our kids have the same exact birthday, which felt like another sign to me!
Through our office visit, never once did I feel rushed or nervous. She never judged us for our choices as parents, and she always led us into a better path. Because of Jessica our daughter has a chance at a positive life with a promising future and I could not be more happy to have found her. This woman knows her stuff and she actually cares about people. I’ve never met someone in the medica field that I trust more than I trust her. I don’t know what I would do without her, I feel so grateful and I literally cried after our first visit when she gave us answers… and that’s how much I got out of her visit. Happy tears!!! Please don’t ever leave Jessica!!!Thank you Jessica.
Jessica and the staff at her practice are phenomenal. We have a great experience every time we go, and love that the focus is on natural and holistic methods to the extent possible when treating our little one. We are so glad we made the Well Rooted choice!
My first time with the Oakbrook office and staff has been the kind of experience I’ve longed for. Although I have only been there twice(in one week), it’s the most genuine communication I’ve had from a doctor’s office. I’ve been searching for a practice that treats our family as more than just a number, and I’m truly grateful for the care and attention to detail they’ve provided. The follow-up phone calls and the extra check-up were instrumental in demonstrating their practice’s excellent understanding of bedside manners and true thoughtfulness that his sickness matters.
We don’t go to the Crystal Lake Well Rooted anymore since we moved going over to OakBrook. We saw Victoria was absolutely fantastic. She saw my son for the first 9 months of his life, and she not only provided phenomenal care for him, but also for myself as a newly postpartum mom. They are very respectful of your decisions as a parent at Well Rooted, and it’s nice to not feel like you’re being gaslit by medical professionals. I like how they have holistic remedies available for purchase as well. They also provided me references to lactation consultants, chiropractors, etc as well. My son is now almost 2 and thankfully very healthy. We love Well Rooted!
