I was seeing the doctor for about a year and then I broke into another rash that was very itchy. I called for an appointment and was told I needed to wait a month. When I said I couldn't wait that long and needed an immediate appointment, they told me to go to an urgent care center. I've been that route before and they do nothing to correctly diagnose you for the underlying cause. I needed a specialist!
The secretary was very uncaring and I will never go into this office again.
As a doctor of 35 years, I see medicine has devolved into passing the buck and not solving the problem and finding the source of it.

My son broke out in hives after touching our peanut/sunflower seed bird food (He eats peanuts just fine). She did a skin test, told me he had a cashew/pistachio allergy. Wrote me for an epi pen, gave me two pieces of paper that said nothing and that was the visit. Similar to the other patient I was given no information and when I asked further questions the following day by phone the doctor was less than pleasant. I questioned accuracy of skin tests and asked if there was something more definitive, she then said we had discussed treatment and further testing. Um no, or I wouldn’t have been calling. My kid has never even eaten one of these nuts and she said performing a food challenge would be malpractice. My niece who is allergic to eggs and peanuts vomits profusely if theyre eaten was able to get a food challenge with their doctor. I’m upset that I chose an inferior doctor who is quick to say this is what my son has with a skin test and the solution is to never eat these nuts again. The epi pen was priced by my pharmacy at $600. I told the office this so the doctor obviously submitted a request with Avi-que. I got a txt msg from avi-qu with no instruction from the doctor on how to obtain the pen. One of the worst doctor’s I’ve ever seen. Waste of time and money.

We saw Dr. Wasserbauer for my son's food allergies and were not impressed. From one appointment to the next she would not remember what she had previously told us. She would sometimes give conflicting advice. When we would try and ask her questions to become more informed on our child's allergies, she would speak in a very condescending manner to us. At one appointment she actually looked at us and said, "You don't need to know that. That's why there are Allergists." Needless to say, we switched allergists. Our new allergist did not agree with her diagnosis, or her action plan for my son. His test results had significantly changed in a short period with Dr. Wasserbauer, and she said she would not meet with us for an entire year and to keep avoiding his allergens. It is now a month later, we have been retested by a different allergist, been given a food challenge by a new allergist, and my son is now able to eat one of the foods that she refused to address retesting him for an entire year. We are thankful for our new doctor, as now our son is receiving nutrition that she was advising us to avoid.

She would rather just shove medicine at you and send you away than spend time trying to figure out why your body is having problems. Basically she doesn't care and has no idea what she is doing. Will not be seeing her again.

First time seeing Dr. Wasserbauer went as expected. ONE thing these reviewers may not understand, is allergy/immunology. Keep in mind the term "allergy" is a blanket term similar to "cancer, disease, health, medicine, etc." The paradigms in allergy/immunology are shifting constantly as new research and development is being done in this quickly evolving field. Medical practice is very complicated and often doctors need to rely on other doctors to rule out other conditions. Patient's, and especially parents/family of patients, often want answers immediately, and sadly medicine rarely works this way. I scheduled a follow-up appointment and will also make appointments for my children. I feel the negative reviews here are unfair, misguided and misplaced. We have to remember to be "good patients" also.

Stay far away from this lady. She shouldn't be practicing medicine. In our experience with her she would constantly "forget" things she said, diagnosed, or recommend. She spoke out of both sides of her mouth. Sent us to a gastroenterologist because of the connection between the disease and GI problems and literally 3 months later said there was no connection. That is just one of the many examples. She said my child's case was the worst she had EVER seen (acting very dramatic), but when I called her for advice on how to handle is circumstance she said to be wary of she said my child "really wasn't that bad". Which is it?! You never know what you are going to get.

I will not being going back to her. My doctor sent me to her for a potential rare and serious condition that my daughter had. She just blew it off and said it must be environmental allergies - even though all past test results were clean. She doesn't care and is not up on her knowledge.

Dr. Wasserbauer is aloof. She is extremely inconsistent with her knowledge and will say extreme opposites at each appointment. Quite frankly she leaves herself open for malpractice by giving incomplete and inaccurate information. I would tell everyone to run from her!
