About Dr Grixti Soler
Dr Daniel Grixti Soler is a specialist in allergy and clinical immunology who diagnoses and manages the full range of allergic conditions in adults and children. He sees patients at LifeScan in Naxxar.
His practice covers respiratory allergies such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma, food allergies, eczema and urticaria (hives), drug allergies and reactions to bee and wasp stings. He also treats mast cell activation syndrome and disorders of the immune system.
Dr Grixti Soler uses skin testing for foods, inhalant allergens such as pollen and house dust mite, and contact allergens such as preservatives, cosmetics and metals, together with molecular component testing and targeted immunotherapy. His aim is to find the root cause rather than simply suppress symptoms, with a clear, evidence-based plan to improve day-to-day symptoms and long-term quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Dr Daniel Grixti Soler see patients?
Dr Daniel Grixti Soler sees patients at LifeScan, 1 Wesghet il-Frott, Naxxar, Malta. You can book an appointment online at any time; the calendar on this page shows the latest availability.
Does Dr Grixti Soler see children?
Yes. Dr Grixti Soler sees both adults and children with allergies, including food allergies, eczema, hay fever and asthma.
What is a skin prick test?
A skin prick test checks which allergens you react to. A drop of each allergen, such as a food, pollen or house dust mite, is placed on the forearm and the skin is gently pricked. A small itchy bump appears within about 15 to 20 minutes if you are sensitive to that allergen. It is quick and suitable for children.
Should I stop antihistamines before allergy testing?
Antihistamines can block skin test results, so you may be asked to stop them for a few days beforehand. Please check with the clinic when you book. Do not stop asthma inhalers or other prescribed medicines without medical advice.
What is allergen immunotherapy?
Allergen immunotherapy, also called desensitisation, gradually trains the immune system to tolerate an allergen. It can reduce symptoms over the long term for allergies such as hay fever, house dust mite and insect stings. Dr Grixti Soler will advise whether it is suitable for you.
Do I need a referral to see Dr Grixti Soler?
No. You can book directly online without a referral. If your GP or another doctor has given you a referral letter, please bring it with you. However, if you plan to claim on health insurance, your insurer may require a referral letter from your GP or another doctor who is not the specialist you are seeing, so please check with them first.
