I waited a year to get in to see this guy and he did a good job of explaining the allergy testing process. However, my symptoms don't line up with the test results which he didn't seem to want to discuss. A 5 minute test vs. 10 years of symptoms is worth a discussion in my mind. After waiting a year to see him I felt like he rushed me out of his office and I left with no more information than I went in with. Maybe that's not his fault, maybe there's nothing more to say, but I think he could've done a better job of listening. If the severe allergic reaction isn't from the mild allergy he tested for, obviously the severe allergic reaction is being caused by something else.

I took my son yesterday and it was fast, efficient and very helpful. We now know which allergies to teach and a course of action was recommended. The staff and doctor were very pleasant. Years ago I came for myself and did not have a very good experience so I think they have changed the atmosphere in the office quite a bit.

Very prompt, polite, and efficient. The Doctor and his nurse were excellent at explaining what they were doing and the results of the testing.

Dr. Doctor is great..not sure what all the bad reviews are about. He answered all of my questions and the lady administering the test was very nice as well. As far as allergies are concerned, I left with the answers I needed. Thank you Dr. Doctor!

What a horrible waste of time. I took my son in to see Dr. Doctor for allergy testing. The put a grid of items on his back to test. I was quite excited to see that there were some that reacted and some that didn't -- finally some answers. Nope. I asked which one is eggs? which on is peanuts? "Oh we didn't test those" What!!! He then procceded to test for eggs & peanuts - both positive allergies. However by the time he did those tests, the other results faded - so no answers there. Other that avoid the allergen he has no answers to reduce the sensitivities or allergies. So very disappointed.

Great Dr. I went to see him about myself, I told him about my son and he was able to get him in right away. He's always very punctual and friendly! We had a great experience here!

Had to wait a week and half for appt. Was lucky there was a cancellation. Appt was for 9am and was told to take a seat. Waited in the waiting room for 20mins. Assistant staff was very friendly. Doctor came in right away and was very friendly with my daughter. He asked about her history and explained they will do a larger scale of testing including a environmentmental test as she does have allergies. Waiting 10 minutes for and the assistant came back. She was great, back within 10 mins and measured all reactions.

Had to wait over one year to waste a further 30 min in his office. He wouldn't even listen to all my symptoms to diagnose me. Didn't even know the side effects of a common brand name anti histamine. I would certainly except any allergy doctor to know this. Reading most of these negative reviews describes my encounter with him perfectly. Unfortunately, the state of the health system in Alberta only further encourages these unpleasant and horrendous specialists.

That is a half an hour of my life that was wasted. The staff were very friendly and I didn't even have to wait BUT I find their testing method very inadequate. I honestly don't even think the instrument they used even broke my skin at all. I would have preferred a scratch test. Seems funny that I reacted to absolutely nothing from their so called test even though I reacted when tested years ago. It was a waste of $40 and a waste of waiting over a year to see him. Totally disappointed.
