Neeld Douglas A MD

After spending the first 35 years of my life suffering through the symptoms of tree, grass, and pollen allergies, and starting to see some of the same symptoms start to appear in my own children, I finally decided to go see an allergist. Seven years ago Dr. Neeld had an office in Columbia City when I first went and saw him (boy, i do miss the convenience of that location, but Fort Wayne isn’t too much farther) and he was both knowledgeable and friendly.
I started immunotherapy shortly after, and I have never been more happy to have done something (corrective eye surgery would be the close second.) Two other kids in my family have also started, and have experienced the same good results as I have. No decongestants, and only a very mild antihistamine during the worst time of the year for us, around labor day.
This is quite a change from my ‘pre-​allergist’ years, where I would have to be either on a steady stream of sleepy allergy pills to control the symptoms (spring, summer & fall), or have several hankerchiefs soaked in a few hours time.
The staff at Dr. Neelds have always been friendly, and while we now only see them when we need new vials (we have our local physician administer the now monthly shots), they are still great! Obviously the worst part of going to see an allergist is getting tested, but they even made having 40 itchy & scratchy pinpricks on your back not seem too bad.
My only regret… I wish I would have started 30 years ago.
