What is Alpha Gal Syndrome?
Alpha Gal syndrome is a serious allergic reaction to red meat (beef, pork, lamb) and mammalian products caused by a tick bite. The Lone Star tick transmits a sugar molecule (galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose) that triggers your immune system to attack when you consume red meat.
Unlike typical food allergies, Alpha Gal reactions are delayed 3-6 hours after eating, making them difficult to diagnose. Symptoms range from mild hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Common Symptoms:
What to Expect
Phone Screening
We’ll discuss your symptoms, history, and determine if you’re a candidate for SAAT treatment. Testing for material allergies if needed.
Treatment Session
A semi-permanent needle is placed in your right ear at a specific auricular point. The area is carefully bandaged and protected.
3-4 Week Period
You wear the needle for 3-4 weeks while avoiding the allergen. Follow-up includes needle removal, retesting, and confirmation of treatment success.
Important Restrictions During Treatment:
Transparent Pricing
Includes full evaluation, treatment, removal, and retesting. No extra charges for multiple needles.

Based on Dr. Soliman’s clinical research data. 96% of patients experience complete elimination of Alpha Gal symptoms after SAAT treatment. If you’re in the 4% who don’t respond, you can retry treatment at full price. No money-back guarantee, but our success rate speaks for itself.
What You Need to Know
How long does the treatment take?
The initial treatment appointment takes about an hour. You’ll then wear the semi-permanent needle for 3-4 weeks before returning for removal and retesting. Total treatment period is approximately one month.
Does the needle hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during placement. The needle is very thin and placed at a specific auricular point. Once bandaged, you’ll barely notice it’s there. Some patients experience mild tenderness for the first day.
Can I shower with the needle in?
Yes. We provide a shower cap to protect the bandaged ear. Just avoid getting the area directly wet. Swimming is not permitted during the treatment period.
What if I accidentally eat red meat during treatment?
Avoiding the allergen during the 3-4 week treatment period is critical for success. Accidental exposure may compromise results and require retreatment at full price. We’ll provide detailed guidelines during your screening call.
Is the result permanent?
Yes. 96% of successfully treated patients experience permanent elimination of Alpha Gal symptoms. You should be able to return to eating red meat without reactions indefinitely.
Does insurance cover SAAT?
Coverage varies by plan for SAAT allergy treatment in Chattanooga. We can provide detailed superbills for you to submit for potential reimbursement. Many patients find the investment worthwhile even without insurance coverage given the permanent results.
What if the treatment doesn’t work for me?
4% of patients don’t respond to SAAT. If you’re in that minority, there’s no refund, but you can retry treatment at full price. The 96% success rate makes this rare, but we’re upfront about the possibility.
