300+ allergens tested from a single blood draw. Clinician-interpreted results. No GP referral needed. Serving Esher (KT10) residents at our Surbiton clinic — approximately 15 minutes via the A307.
Lambert Medical Practice is at 380 Ewell Road, Tolworth, Surbiton KT6 7BE — approximately 5 miles and a 15-minute drive from Esher.
From Esher, take the A307 (Portsmouth Road) north-east towards Kingston, then continue via Hook Road or the A240 Ewell Road south to Tolworth. Journey time is typically 15 minutes outside rush hour.
From Esher station, take a South Western Railway service to Surbiton (via Walton-on-Thames). From Surbiton station, the clinic is a short taxi ride or walk along Ewell Road towards Tolworth.
Around 15 minutes by car. The A307 route is generally clear outside of peak commuter times, making Esher one of our more accessible locations.
Free parking is available on adjacent side streets near the clinic. No parking charges.
Esher sits at the edge of some of Surrey's most beautiful green spaces — Claremont Landscape Garden, Esher Common, and the Thames nearby at East and West Molesey. While this makes Esher an exceptional place to live, it also creates a high-pollen environment that contributes to seasonal hayfever and allergy symptoms for many residents.
Allergy symptoms are frequently underestimated or misattributed. Many Esher residents spend years managing symptoms with over-the-counter antihistamines, never knowing exactly which allergens are driving their reactions. With the ALEX3 molecular allergy test, you can finally get a comprehensive, clinician-interpreted picture of your specific triggers — without a GP referral and without the NHS waiting times.
Symptoms that commonly prompt allergy testing in our Esher patients include:
The ALEX3 test goes beyond telling you that you are "allergic to grass pollen" — it identifies the precise molecular components responsible, helping predict cross-reactivity patterns, reaction severity, and the best management approach for your individual profile.
ALEX3 (Allergy Explorer 3) is a molecular component-resolved allergy test — one of the most advanced allergy diagnostic tools currently available to patients in the UK. It analyses 300 allergens including 218 individual molecular components from a single blood draw, delivered as a comprehensive clinician-interpreted report.
The key advantage over conventional allergy tests is molecular resolution. Standard skin prick tests and basic IgE panels test for a reaction to crude allergen extracts — entire proteins from a source like cat dander or peanut. ALEX3 goes deeper, measuring your IgE response to specific individual proteins within those allergens. This distinction matters enormously in practice:
The test requires no fasting, no antihistamine withdrawal, and is completed in a single blood draw. Results are ready within 7–10 working days. ALEX3 is used by NHS specialist allergy centres for complex cases, and Lambert Medical brings this technology to Esher residents without the need for a referral.
Grass, tree, and weed pollens at the molecular level — including birch, oak, alder, hazel, Timothy grass, and mugwort. Highly relevant for Esher residents near green spaces.
D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, storage mites. A major cause of year-round rhinitis, eczema, and disturbed sleep in UK homes.
Cat, dog, horse, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, mouse, rat allergens with molecular components for precise diagnosis.
All 14 major food allergens and many more — nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, shellfish, fish, soy, sesame, fruits, vegetables — with molecular components for severity assessment.
Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium — common triggers near woodland and damp environments.
Honeybee, wasp, hornet venoms for anaphylaxis risk assessment. Natural rubber latex and Anisakis also included.
