Danse Danse★★★★★

Excellent visit with Giselle Ortega at Aspire Allergy. She was friendly, explained everything in layman’s terms as my under-caffinated brain needed, and went into detail when I seemed confused. She also did a great job asking questions to draw out what I actually needed that I hadn’t considered an option and worked diligently to adapt my current prescriptions to something more effective.

This office is the most welcoming and professional place I’ve been to here. They are always smiling and take good care of you. All the ladies in that office are awesome. Not to mention that care I receive.

It appears that additional staffing is needed. The location is currently open only one day a week, and if patient testing is underway, there is no other staff available to administer weekly injections to other patients. This situation could potentially result in a delay, as patients must wait 30 minutes after their injection before leaving, leading to a total wait time of approximately one hour. It is advisable to plan accordingly.
