Patient Reviews:
“Dr. Dave is a wonderful doctor. He takes his time, and tries to get to the root of the problem, rather than just pushing drug after drug. I had been on multiple inhalers before seeing Dr. Dave, who diagnosed allergies as the cause of my asthma. After treating my allergies, my asthma is now controlled without any inhalers!” ~H.S.
“We love Dr. Dave! Our son had very difficult to control asthma, until seeing Dr. Dave who explained that allergies can make asthma worse. We got on a plan to get his allergies under control, and now his asthma rarely bothers him.” ~N.H.
“My son has a very severe peanut allergy, which was leading to a lot of anxiety. Dr. Dave was great with my son. He spent a lot of time discussing his food allergy, and helped us regain a sense of control.” ~S.W.
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Dave for 3 years now. I highly recommend him to anyone. He is extremely knowledgable, patient and understanding. The office is always on time with their appointments and I never feel rushed out.” ~A.M.

He is so kind and friendly to my son as well who is 5 years old. I would highly recommend!”
