I first came here about a year ago to check my food allergies. Dr. Welch is incredibly sweet, kind,…read moreand truly attentive. He ran every test needed for possible food allergies, and I'm so glad he did--his thoroughness confirmed a few things I had suspected. This year, I returned to get tested for cat, dog, and environmental allergies. Same great experience: I got tested, learned exactly what I'm allergic to, and now we can stay on top of everything. One day I also asked him to test me for bee and wasp allergies, since I had a reaction after being stung by those mean white-faced hornets. Sure enough, that allergy was confirmed as well. We made a plan together, and we're following it now. Honestly, Dr. Welch and his staff are the sweetest human beings--so professional, yet so warm. I love when medical staff treat you like a real person, not a robot, and that's exactly how they are. If you have allergies of any kind, this is the place to go. You won't be sorry.

We have not been impressed with Olympia Allergy, particularly with their communication over the…read morepast year and a half of treatments. We went there for SLIT, leading into OIT. Because this is not covered by insurance, we spent a small fortune for these treatments (which is fine, that was expected from the beginning). There is good science behind this, and the staff seem to know what they are doing, so that is not our concern. Our concern has to do with the lack of information provided (we had to ask so many very basic questions just to get the basic understanding) and that it is very difficult to communicate with staff and Dr. Welch. As other reviews state, they insist on using the Klara messaging tool, which they even admit they do not like, but often we never received a response until we asked multiple times over multiple days (calling the office is pointless, they never answer and often their voicemail is full, and they never seem to return calls if you are able to leave a voicemail). Often through Klara we got responses that had nothing to do with our questions, or only partial answers. On one occasion Dr. Welch told us that if we had any questions or something came up between our next appointments to call or text him directly as he doesn't like to use Klara. About 4 days later we did so, and could not get through to him and ended up sending mulitple messages through Klara anyway. Turned out he was on vacation, so what was the point of telling us to call him directly if he was on vacation and disabled his phone? When we switched from SLIT to OIT, we had a lot of problems and our kid suffered some reactions even after significantly reducing the dose multiple times. Through Klara we explained all the details mulitple times and managed to finally get an appointment scheduled. When we finally met with Dr. Welch, he obviously didn't read any of the details or the questions we had posted, and the fact that we were having problems was completely unknown to him and he was surprised. This is not the kind of behavior you want from a doctor's office that is in charge of severe life-threatening allergies. SLIT and OIT are promising treatments that many allergy offices refuse to administer, so Olympia Allergy is one of the only options in town, but I cannot recommend them based on our experiences.

I feel like a new woman -- albeit one who wishes she had all the money she'd wasted on prescription drugs over the years!

Dr. Bobovski was recommended to me by a friend at a time when I was very discouraged and…read moredisappointed by recent doctor's visits, and the American prescribe-something-and-get-the-patient-outta-here medical personality in general. In only one visit and one follow-up appointment, which she came into the office on Christmas Eve to give (!!), Dr. Bobovski resolved an allergy/immune issue that four doctors, two allergists and a dermatologist couldn't, over the course of 18 months and several dangerous prescriptions/injections, couldn't. A food allergy test! who'da thunk it? My insurance covered the appointment and blood work, and although I did pay out of pocket for the food allergy panel ($85) and for the vitamins I purchased, I'd take that cash payment anyday over a life of free but questionably safe and clearly ineffective prescriptions that covered up my symptoms but didn't help the problem whatsoever, or teach me anything about my body. If I hadn't taken the "radical" plunge into naturopathy (the quotes are a JOKE), I would have taken steroid injections for goodness knows how long, and never learned about my semi serious food allergies that 23 years of cluelessness turned into an eventual allergy and weakened immune system. Two years after seeing her for the first time, I have never had another allergic reaction, and my gut has re-built itself after 23 years of abuse (poor gut!). Dr. Bobovski has respect for her patients and their sense of their own body. She's open about the benefits and limitations about naturopathy. I've never felt uncomfortable for a second in the waiting area (which has great magazines, btw) or naked in a gown on her table. I have never for a second felt rushed into or out of her office -- the level of focus and devotion to each and every issue or question you have is unreal for a doctor at a busy office. Dr. Bobovski and this lovely facility not only fixed the problem I went there for, but helped me to learn about my body from my body, and utterly rejuvenated my faith in medicine and doctors. I could not offer a higher recommendation for this doctor or the facility! And although I haven't personally seen any of her fellow doctors, I've heard good things.

Dr. Knapp is a god-send! I have been miserable the last 5-6 years. I couldn't breathe, was coughing…read moreconstantly, couldn't lose my baby weight because I'd go to the gym and be wheezing and have to stop. Probably worst of all were the constant sinus infections, 5-8 infections each year. I was always on antibiotics--the last infection took me through four different antibiotics and none would help. I was referred to Dr. Knapp's office a couple months ago, and he went through my CT scans, did an exam, and determined the root cause of my problems: small cavities, infected tissue that no medication would help, deviated septum, and just very small airways. He gave me lots of options, and also mentioned surgery. I have heard how awful sinus surgery is, but he told me that while he can't guarantee it to cure 100% of my ailments, that it would make my life significantly better. So, I went in a month ago and had turbinate reduction (he took an inch off from one cavity!), removal of the infected tissue and opening of my passageways, as well as a septoplasty. A month after the surgery now, I feel like my entire life has changed. I haven't coughed once! I used to stay up all night coughing, every night. The recovery has had some pretty disgusting parts, but I can't tell you how amazing it is to be able to breath. I only had dissolvable packing, which I heard is the worst part of the recovery, and no bruising at all. He's a miracle worker, and his staff is fantastic: his nurse was always available to me, (he even called me twice on the phone, which I have never heard of a doctor doing before), and his billing staff worked diligently to get my stubborn insurance to cover the cost. Another reassuring point is that I see an amazing doctor for my asthma and allergy issues, and he and Dr. Knapp told me the same things about treatment, ailments, recovery, without ever even talking to each other. I was very impressed that these doctors were on the same page. :) He's amazing!
