I read another review where they messed up charging someone and even then I wasn't prepared when they charged me a copay. We hit our deductible so we shouldn't have paid anything. I asked them to double check and after they did they said we hadn't met our deductible. I was holding a ornery baby so it was easier to pay and then follow up later. I called billing and when they called back they said we only paid about $87 of our $5,000 deductible. Super weird on all accounts since our deductible is $3,000 and we hit that. It makes me wonder what insurance they are looking at. I called my insurance company and verified that we shouldn't have paid anything. The office reimbursed us. The other issue is they didn't sign the second sheet for allergy testing when we went to get blood work done. We were stuck, again with an ornery baby, in the waiting room calling them to fax over the second sheet so they could test the blood for all the different possible allergies. They were super fast about faxing that over so I appreciated it. We saw Dr. Lockey. As another review said, he does have a habit of speaking really fast. I ended up calling the office back after I had time to think through everything with additional questions. When you call with questions you have to leave a VM and the VM tells you that the nurses review the messages at certain times and calls back. You better hang on to your phone so you can pick up that call! Luckily I did and the nurse was super nice answering my questions. Dr. Lockey also sees a couple of people at a time so he is moving back and forth a lot. He is super knowledgeable so even though he is a little pressed for time, I trust his opinion. He also helped me decide to switch my baby back to a different medication even though the GI and pediatrician thought the second one was better. Dr. Lockey's knowledge on the subject gave me the strength to go with my gut, which ended up being the best decision. My son reacted a lot better to the original medication. For this, I am very thankful. Even with the cons, I do believe this is the best allergist we can see.

If I could give this practice zero stars, I would…read more The physician was knowledgeable, but unfortunately the office experience overshadowed any positive aspects of the visit. The administrative staff lacked patience, compassion, and professionalism, and I consistently felt that policies were placed ahead of patient care. If you have a child with special needs, care for a family member with special needs, or you yourself require anything beyond a straightforward, routine appointment, I would encourage you to carefully consider whether this practice is the right fit. Based on my experience and conversations with others, this office does not appear to be well equipped to work with patients whose needs require additional understanding, flexibility, or support. What should have been a healthcare experience became unnecessarily stressful. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion--especially when they are already dealing with complex medical issues. I sincerely hope this practice invests in additional training for its administrative staff so that all patients, regardless of their individual needs, receive the level of care and respect they deserve.

I have been going to Dr Jack Perrino for about 4 years now and it has been a wonderful experience…read more It is a very small, family run office that takes the time to get to know you. He takes his time during evaluations to understand your overall health, even things not related to allergies. He has even done some research on the spot to give me more information than i had about an issue with my diet and how it might be affecting my overall health. I also come to his office for allergy shots every 3 to 4 weeks and the staff has always been helpful and friendly. I am not a fan of needles and most sessions are as painless as one can hope. This is the 5th allergist i have seen in over a decade due to relocations to different states and i can honestly say I like this office the best, for my needs. I would highly recommend him over any of the mutli doctor offices i have seen in the past.

I had to do the patch test to determine my allergies, which I've done several times before at other allergist offices. She told me to take allergy pills and inhaler. I'm far beyond that as far as the severity of my allergies, but I agreed that I would. I wasn't seeing much of a difference, but I wasn't taking the pills like I should, I admit that. I told her that and she started laughing, shaking her head and scolding me like I was a child. I found myself apologizing profusely, but she kept yelling at me. Finally, I snapped. I said I was an adult and I don't have to be treated this way. I said if she won't help me, then she can reimburse my co-pay which is when she decided to passive aggressively write a script with zero refills. She is terrible. I wouldn't go there again if my life depending on it. She doesn't appreciate her patients and doesn't deserve to practice.

I've discussed these with probably half a dozen physicians in that 30+ year period, and none-NOT A SINGLE ONE!- has ever asked me WHAT I EAT!! Instead, they prescribe me drugs, some of which becalm the symptoms for a moment, some of which don't make it past the second dose, the "cure" being worse than the disease. Barb's entry questionnaire consists of more than a dozen detailed pages, and I supplied her with even more personal and family medical history and test results, all of which SHE READ!! (Unheard of! My PCP's, on the other hand, just scan these into my medical history, never to be seen again.) The initial visit was over 2 hours long, and to summarize, Barb prescribed the most accurate and non-invasive test available: a DNA stool sample. Based on our initial consultation, I was given several supplements and remedies, and based on the results of that test, several more. Barb explains every test result, every supplement, and every step in each protocol in great detail, frequently asking "Does that make sense to you?" and "Do you have any questions about that?" Following her advice, I was feeling better in 2 days, and have been improving every day since! These are dramatic results, and without the expense-physical and financial-of prescription medicines and the hatful of side effects that accompany them. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what modern medicine can do. However, when doctors are allotted 7 minutes per patient, and encouraged to prescribe the "drug du jour," you won't receive the type of in-depth analysis and extraordinary results that you get from Barb at Natural Choice Nutrition. I couldn't be happier!
