Gadi Avshalomov, M.D.

I personally had a very positive experience with this doctor. He is extremely smart and helpful. I was getting sick monthly until I visited his office and so far so good *fingers crossed.*
His staff is also very nice. Especially Yulia who was soooo helpful whenever it came to insurance questions or making appointments! She is a real doll :)
I don’t know why others are complaining about wait times because I’ve never waited for more than ten minutes. I always made my appointments first thing in the morning to avoid waiting because waits are expected at all doctor’s offices.

Not sure what the other persons are talking about.
I have been going to Dr Avshalomov’s office for asthma and allergy care for a long time. He is the most detailed and careful doctor I have seen. He is genuinely interested in the overall patient. I credit him with saving my life as he sent me for an X-​ray that indicated I need further testing. This led to a major surgery that saved my life.
I also realize that the front desk staff is top quality as they are very professional and friendly. They are also trained in various aspects of running the office. I can call them at anytime and they are able to answer questions with in minutes.
This office caters to children and adults. They also cater to adults who act like kids when they see a needle (lol) The doctor is very patient and kind. His bedside manner is excellent.
If you need a great doctor who is tops in the field of asthma and allergy care Dr Gadi is the way to go.

Had a terrible experience. Waited an hour and forty five minutes to be seen. When I finally met him he was very arrogant and pretty much talked bad about my other doctors saying he can teach them things. That being the reason he wouldn’t reach out to my doctor. He did eventually say he would call but it was like twisting an arm. He may be very educated (that I don’t know). But I would never go back. Never left a doctor’ office so upset. Awful.

Much like previous poster, Dr. Avshalomov badly misdiagnosed my 12.5 months old son. He performed over a 100 skin tests on him and announced that the child has a dog allergy. We came in with complaints of vomiting from dairy. He had no symptoms whatsoever of an environmental allergy. He then instructed us to get rid of our 11 year old dog. Removing the dog for over a month did nothing for my son’s symptoms. Dr. Avshalomov then suggested medication commonly prescribed for children 6 and up. That’s when we went for a second and third opinion. Turns out my son is lactose intolerant. That’s it. No dog allergy… no meds needed. Six months later we received a $ 400+ bill for all those skin test that were needlessly performed. This on top of the two specialist copays we paid to have these tests done. In addition to all this the doctor has a tiny overcrowded office with a very rude receptionist. He himself spends around 2 minutes with a patient. Does not appear to be paying any attention to the complaint. I’ve seen him recommend a full panel of skin tests for pretty much everyone who walks into his office regardless of their complaint. He’s a quack. Stay away.

Warning– be very careful with this doctor. He has history of mis diagnosing kids. Without any particular reason, he decided to test my daughter for asthma and said she needs to begin hormonal shot treatments and should carry inhaler. We decided to take her for 2^nd opinion to a doctor in Manhattan who’s been rated one of the best doctors. He was very surprised about this diagnoses and retested her. She doesn’t have any asthma or symptoms that indicate asthma. Besides, it was suggested to run away from a doctor who considers hormonal shots for 9 year old with no symptoms. I wonder how many other kids are mis diagnosed and take unnecessary treatments. Sometimes I wonder if he performs tests just to bill the insurance and collect additional co pay.
