Milo Vassallo, MD, PhD

4.5 stars…
Dr Vassallo is really amazing, he’s seriously like the Bill Nye of allergists (very knowledgeable and able to explain everything in a complete and easy to understand way). He’s very pleasant to speak to, doesn’t rush you or push any medications on you, answers all of your questions, and is just an overall warm doctor, there really should be more doctors like him. The ENT office I visited with him was in a large building where you have to sign in at the lobby before taking the elevator up. The office has the largest waiting room I’ve ever seen though it’s nothing impressive other than the size, they do have a TV going which helps to pass any time you would be waiting (my wait wasn’t long at all though). Registering here is entirely electronic with these special tablets so it’s nice to see they’re up on technology. I’ve been here twice and both times I had a different assistant helping me with the tests. The first girl was amazing but the second was just average. If you’ve never gone for allergy testing there are a ton of needles involved (like 50+) but they’re tiny and done very quickly and the fast majority of them just poke the surface of your skin so they can see the reaction. The offices seemed brand new so everything was very clean and new. Dr Vassallo genuinely seemed invested in discussing the results with me and listened to any and all concerns I had. I would definitely suggest making an appointment with him for any allergy (and whatever else he specializes in) need you may have.

Dr. Vassallo and his staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. He explained step-​by-​step my current allergy condition and how we would approach it. Appointments are always on time. Highly recommend.

My daughter and I both see Dr. Vassallo for allergies. I don’t post many reviews, but I wanted to offer a second opinion to the one that is posted here because it is pretty nearly the opposite of Margarita H’s. I have the standard dust mite, cockroach, pollen kinds of allergies for which I have been getting shots for about 2 years. If anything, Dr. Vassallo over explains what’s going on with both the allergic process and with the planned treatment. My daughter has many more allergies, including food, and they are much more serious than mine. In fact, she has to have an epi pen in case she accidentally eats seafood. We wouldn’t have known how dangerous her allergies are if Dr. Vassallo hadn’t told us. She also has asthma, which raises the stakes pretty high. Dr. Vassallo strongly recommended shots, but my daughter was just not willing to do shots and I wasn’t up to the weekly tussle of insisting that she do them. Dr. Vassallo was willing to work with us to treat her with different methods, which he did for almost 2 years. Once my daughter was ready, he set her up with shots and she has been going there pretty regularly without much push from Mom for several months now. She is already responding well. She has not been sick nearly as often this winter as every winter before, which Dr. Vassallo explained is because her healthier nose and eyes can better ward off invading viruses now. So, our experience has been really good with doctor Vassallo. I am sorry that Margarita H.‘s wasn’t.
As long as I am at it I want to give a major shout out to the staff — intake, nurses, financial and scheduling. They are the best part of this practice and are who you will see most often. They are professional, friendly, even fun. That is really important if you are getting shots because you will be spending a good bit of time with them.

Dr. Vassallo was recommended by our pediatrician who we trust. However, he is not trustworthy. We took our infant for food allergies and he had blood work done. Dr V did not tell us the full results, including allergies to 3 foods. The results were on the low spectrum but he should have told us and explained what to look for, which our new doctor did. I had asked him directly about one of the foods and he said nope not allergic. In addition, he would not give us a written action plan after asking him several times. We do not recommend him at all.
