300+ allergens tested from a single blood draw. Clinician-interpreted results. No GP referral needed. Serving Thames Ditton (KT7) residents at our Surbiton clinic — approximately 12 minutes via the A309.
Lambert Medical Practice is at 380 Ewell Road, Tolworth, Surbiton KT6 7BE — approximately 4 miles and a 12-minute drive from Thames Ditton.
From Thames Ditton, take the A309 (Hampton Court Way / Kingston Road) north-east towards Kingston, then continue on the A240 Ewell Road south to Tolworth. Journey time is approximately 12 minutes outside peak hours.
From Thames Ditton station, take a South Western Railway service to Surbiton (via Hampton Court or Esher). From Surbiton, the clinic is a short taxi ride along Ewell Road towards Tolworth.
Around 12 minutes by car via the A309 — a quick and straightforward route for Thames Ditton residents.
Free parking is available on adjacent side streets near the clinic. No parking charges.
Thames Ditton sits alongside the Thames, with Bushy Park just across the water and open riverside meadows nearby. This beautiful riverside setting also means Thames Ditton residents are exposed to significant levels of grass and tree pollen — from the meadows of Bushy Park, the riverside vegetation, and the surrounding Surrey countryside. For allergy sufferers, this environment can make spring and summer particularly challenging.
Yet despite the high pollen exposure in this area, many Thames Ditton residents have never had a comprehensive allergy test. The ALEX3 molecular allergy test changes what is possible in private diagnostics. Rather than testing a handful of allergens, ALEX3 screens 300 at the molecular level in a single blood draw — giving you and your doctor a complete, precise picture of what your immune system is reacting to.
Symptoms that commonly prompt allergy testing in our Thames Ditton patients include:
ALEX3 (Allergy Explorer 3) is a molecular component-resolved allergy test that analyses 300 allergens including 218 individual molecular protein components from a single blood draw. It is significantly more comprehensive than either skin prick tests or standard IgE blood panels, and is used by NHS specialist allergy centres for complex allergy cases.
The defining advantage of ALEX3 is its molecular resolution. Standard allergy tests measure your reaction to crude allergen extracts — broad mixtures of proteins from sources like grass pollen or peanut. ALEX3 instead measures your IgE response to specific individual proteins within those allergens. This distinction is clinically significant in several ways:
ALEX3 requires no antihistamine withdrawal and no fasting. Results are available within 7–10 working days. As a Thames Ditton resident, our Surbiton clinic is just 12 minutes away — making ALEX3 genuinely accessible without the need for a referral or waiting list.
Grass, tree, and weed pollens at the molecular level. Thames Ditton residents with high grass pollen exposure near the Thames and Bushy Park will find this particularly informative.
D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, storage mites — leading cause of year-round allergic rhinitis, eczema, and disturbed sleep in UK homes.
Cat, dog, horse, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, mouse, rat allergens with individual molecular components for precise diagnosis.
All 14 major food allergens and many more — with specific molecular components for clinical risk assessment across nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, shellfish, fish, soy, sesame, fruits, and vegetables.
Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium — particularly relevant near damp riverine environments like the Thames.
Honeybee, wasp, hornet venoms for anaphylaxis risk assessment, plus natural rubber latex.
