Desha Herring★★★★★

Dr. Katie was phenomenal!! She was very thorough and took lots of time to fully understand my son and his long history of allergies. She came up with a plan and gave us several options without making us feel pressured to choose one. She was extremely helpful, and I would recommend any family member or friend!

Tina Romero★★★★★

I waited 30 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. I don't see this as a negative because when I was called back, the nurse was very thorough in building a timeline. When she was done FNP Katie Olson came in right away. She asked clarifying questions to make sure she had my timeline correct. Its important for the team to have a solid timeline to ensure they have captured the reaction event perfectly. I felt seen and heard. And I think the person who went before me got the same level of attention. I don't see the late start as a negative because its clear at Allergy and Sinus every patient is cared about.
