I stupidly thought that Dr. Robert would be the same. After scratching and itching with getting some kind of rash for the last couple months I figured a dermatology appointment was in order. I have an amazing guy dog travels with me and she does her job well. From the moment that Dr. Robert came in the room he barely acknowledged me and kept talking to the dog. This is so demeaning. Once I told him what I was going through, he started telling me that I was probably imagining things and that he did not see any type of skin issues. I recently struggled with an issue in my home that present itself with hives and such so he basically told me it probably was a mind thing in my head. The whole time he had his back to me. It was just a horrible experience and makes me wonder what people think of blind people. I am a blind professional and pay my own bills but unfortunately in the publics opinion that still makes me less. Finally when I was at my wits end and was just about to tell him to get lost, he promptly says bye to the dog and just walks out of the room. I am like OK, do I even exist or what? I definitely do not recommend this place and I am not going there in the future. The only reason why I am giving it three stars is because the front office staff was amazing.

I decided to make an appointment to see Dr. Costenbader and I am so glad I did. 1st I contacted the office via yelp and I got a response and appointment in less than 48 hours. I reached out to 3 different offices which never called me back. The office is a bit hidden but I was not surprised because when I asked a member of the staff ( sorry I did not catch her name) ,she was very detailed on where to find the office. The day of my appointment arrived and I was pleased to walk into a clean and peaceful environment. The ladies at the front desk were attentive, polite and thorough. I did not have a long wait which I was expecting, less than 5 people in waiting area including myself. I waited to see the doctor maybe 10 minutes and when I was in the examining room I did not have a long wait before Dr. Cyndi ( she said I could call her that)came in. All I have to say is WOW, She listened to my concerns and really explained how she would like to treat my discomfort during the allergy season. Dr.Cyndi gave me a plethora of suggestions whilst keeping me comfortable. She was very personable and extremely kind which I find refreshing, today in most medical settings the time for pleasantries are non existent. I came in not feeling well and left with confidence that Dr. Costenbader and team was going to work hard to help me get through this allergy season. I would highly recommend all allergy sufferers in the area to come and see Dr.Costenbader and her staff , they are truly a great team.

Dr. Costenbader is a real person, with a great bedside manner, who truly is interested in improving your life and respects your lifestyle. As an avid outdoors-person, Dr. Costenbader offered every type of help she could to help me, only to find that I had zero allergies. She then proceeded to recommend several other physicians that could help me figure out the issues I was having, and her recommendations were on the mark. She is honest, respectful, and has a good sense of humor. Her front desk staff/nurse is also really very kind and considerate. All around a great experience.

I await their resolution and will update my review accordingly. Crappy customer service. Poor management. They've had to change managements three times during a short period of time. It was frustrating as their records management per change in management kept messing up appointments, delivery of vials, and confirmation of payments. They've also overcharged me. For the last two months, I have been trying to get someone to call me back to confirm whether my serums were in. I had submitted the paperwork requesting for new serums maybe three months ago. They said to call back after a month. I called after a month and they said they never got my paperwork, even though they had confirmed they did a month prior. I submitted new paperwork due to their poor records management and again, a month later, no serum yet. I kept calling every few days, asking for the serums. They kept saying we'll call you right back or we'll call you when they're in, in a couple weeks. Just to be safe, I gave them four weeks. They said, "No serum and we'll call you back later today", their favorite line to say. I never heard back. I think I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Such a shame. I was with them for a while, too. I liked their original management team better. I didn't have problems with them. Everything is so complicated and frustrating with the new management.

*** THIS OFFICE IS CLOSED ***…read more They closed with no notice to their patients! My family has been going here for years and Dr. Furst was one of my son's all time fav docs - he even performed surgery on him when he was under 4 years old and they had such a great and fun patient-doc relationship it was so awesome to watch. The entire staff at this practice were awesome too, from the receptionist to the nurse to the audiologist! We were very surprised to find the office closed with zero warning or notifications to their patients. So sad and disappointing but c'est la vie I guess. Best of luck to you Dr. Furst! I hope you retired and sure hope all is well. You will be sorely missed!!!

I originally had no issues with my nose. Due to some breathing discomfort between my throat and…read moretrachea, I went to see Dr. Furst. The doctor asked me to get a CT scan of my nose and neck. After reviewing the scans, he told me that I had a deviated nasal septum that needed surgical correction, and that there was inflammation in my sinuses that needed to be cleared out. He also said he would enlarge the sinus openings to allow mucus to flow more easily. I told him that I didn't feel any discomfort in my nose, so why was surgery necessary? He said that generally, the nose, throat, and trachea are connected--if the nose is fixed, everything else would get better. He assured me that I would fully recover in two weeks, and I believed him, so I went ahead with the surgery. It's been almost two years since the surgery, and I am living in agony. There's a buildup of mucus in my nasopharynx that won't drain down, can't be cleared out, and I can't swallow it either. At night, the mucus flows back into my airway, making it hard to breathe and affecting my sleep. Sleep is so important for a person--poor sleep leads to countless problems. I used to be someone who could fall asleep the moment my head hit the pillow, but now, because of the postnasal drip, I wake up constantly throughout the night. I have tried everything I can, but the thick, sticky mucus keeps accumulating in my nasopharynx. Sometimes, my nasal turbinates swell up, making it even harder to breathe. On top of all this, I now get bacterial infections in my nose almost every month, and each infection makes me suffer for one or two weeks! If I could go back two years, I would slap myself a hundred times for listening to that doctor's advice and agreeing to the surgery. When I went back to see Dr. Furst after the surgery, he told me my nose was fine. So here's the truth: I had no problem with my nose, the doctor told me I had a problem and performed surgery, and now that I'm worse, he claims there's nothing wrong. This is an extremely irresponsible doctor. I'm truly living a life worse than death now. If one day I'm no longer around, it will be because of the surgery Dr. Furst performed. His surgery didn't help me--it ruined me! Dr. Furst, if you ever see this message and if you have even a shred of conscience left, please contact me and work with a more competent doctor to help me recover!

He explained NOTHING, just looked in my ears, contradicted the decisions and findings of the others, including an actual doctor who had evaluated my hearting a year previously. I felt disrespected and even afraid, treated like a subhuman. I am reluctant to have anything to do with an office that allows him to be with patients. "Interact" with would not be accurate, since he did not engage, merely opined, and not in an informative manner. He told me all the others were wrong, but not why, and not what was right. Unsettling and unpleasant.

I have been going here since November 2012 to get allergy shots. After two years of allergy shots…read moreand taking a one and a half year break from allergy shots due to school, I decided it was time to get back to it. Dr. Helbing has offices in Annandale and Springfield and they are open on different days. His offices are now closed on Fridays. The Annandale office is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and the Springfield office is open Mondays and Wednesdays. It takes awhile to get to the maintenance dose (where you just come in every 2-3 weeks), but the nurses and Dr. Helbing are all very friendly and knowledgeable. While this office isn't as computerized as my previous allergy doctor (sign in on paper instead of on a computer), they are pretty efficient at getting you in and out of the office. The only downside is that the later office hours (open til 6 pm) for the Annandale location are only on Tuesdays, but you can also come in on Saturdays between 9 am and 12 pm. Be prepared for lots of kids though. Dr. Helbing will do an initial appointment to discuss your allergy symptoms and there will be a follow-up appointment with the dreaded allergy test (lots of pinpricks to determine what you are most allergic to). From there, they can make a suitable serum for you to start allergy shots. It took me about 6 months to get to the maintenance dose, which requires that you go twice a week to get a shot to gradually build up your tolerance. After each shot, you are supposed to wait approximately 30 minutes to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction. At least there are usually plenty of magazines to read.

A nutritionist/dietitian is not only someone who advises and consults to help with an…read moreindividualized weight loss program. She/he is also a partner to the individual attempting the diet & is important to staying in a positive mindset. Dr. Dadkhah has proven to be such a partner for me in my efforts to lose weight. I am making progress and I am losing weight when I have never been able to do so alone in the past. My clothes are getting bigger & I have had to change to smaller sizes in some things. I have more energy & I feel like I am making progress. I very much look forward to meeting with Dr. Dadkhah. Without our time I don't have anyone to really discuss my diet. My efforts to lose weight are my main focus of life & I think about it all the time. None of my family & friends are overweight so for me this would be a solo journey if not for Dr. Dadkhah. The information she shares with me is always valuable but what's most most helpful for me is to have someone who is willing to talk about nutrition and food. She is enthusiastic in helping me to understand nutrition, physical exercise & what foods work best for my diet. And she patiently answers all my questions. She has even encouraged me to send emails between our meetings to share my questions or concerns so that we can discuss at the next meeting which has been very helpful technique for me. She also shares engaging videos to help me understand why she is encouraging certain things in my diet & why it's important. Meeting with Dr. Dadkhah energizes me and gets me jazzed up to continue to go forward. Whereas when I don't have that time with her then it's harder to stay as excited about dieting plus without our meeting then my weight loss seems more like hard work & as if a chore. I stay on the diet when we don't meet but I don't feel as enthused when doing this alone. I now understand that it helps to have a dietitian who understands where you are & what you are feeling & someone who can offer suggestions. I'm realizing that dieting is an individual journey but one still needs someone to go along the journey with you. Someone who cares about what you are experiencing & wants you to be successful. Someone who tries to help figure out where things got off track if weight loss slows down, & figure out a new plan. For me, Dr. Dadkhah is that person who does all those things for me. I am an introvert but it's nice to have a dietitian where I can go talk about my thoughts, experiences, worries, challenges, setbacks, etc. Without my time with Dr. Dadkhah in this process then the whole diet thing would be so much harder to do. She is able to teach me & advise me but she also listens to me and helps me keep my thoughts on track so I don't follow a negative or wrong way of thinking. She celebrates my good weeks & she keeps me from feeling bad on weeks that are less successful. What I've learned is that dieting is not a cookie cutter deal. No one diet works for everyone. So what you may read on the Internet may not be what works best for you. I have learned to trust that Dr. Dadkhah is helping me to identify what is best for ME, & I have to trust what she suggests rather than go by something I may read on the Internet. She has created a weight loss program that is individualized to me, what works best for me, a program I can stick with. And I am grateful that I found her to help me through this journey of losing weight.
