I had a unique challenge to continue my allergy shots, since I live in Los Angeles, but am in NY for three months, while my wife treats Covid-19 patients here. I needed to find an allergist who could receive my serum from L.A. and take over my treatment, so I wouldn't have to start from scratch. Not only was all of that complicated mess unbelievably easy to manage with Allergy & Asthma Care of New York, Carla (the P.A.) and Judy (the nurse) were incredible: professional, warm, skilled at giving me painless shots, funny, and truly committed to caring for me. I am so blown away I don't want to go back to getting my shots back in L.A. I cannot recommend Allergy & Asthma Care of New York highly enough. You will find them friendly, helpful, affordable, accessible, and very very good at what they do. I have loved being treated there. read more

Schweiger Dermatology & Allergy - Allergists Near Me - New York, New York

I can't say enough about the relief Dr. Bassett, Carla and the entire staff have afforded me. My chronic sinus infections have disappeared after being on the SLIT treatment. The entire staff is very accommodating and friendly. I am thankful everyday for no longer suffering from all my allergies . read more

Came in to get allergy tested in February 2022. Was charged the $50 visit fee. Was not told anything about not taking any medication before my appt. Note that the over-the-counter medication I was taking was not working, which is the reason why the visit. Nothing happened when we did the skin prick tests so I had to come back. This place tried to charge me $50 once again for a visit. I explained that I was never informed I needed to stop any allergy meds at least 3 days prior. The doc could clearly see that the meds I was taking were not working as my allergies were so bad. I was told that I would not be charged again. Now a month later I'm checking my bank statement and this place just charged me for that visit. A MONTH LATER! Disgusting! I do NOT recommend this place. And just as an FYI when I did go back to get the skin prick test redone, after not taking any meds, still nothing showed up on their tests. SMH! read more

The doctors and nurses here are wonderful -- rather, this 1-star review goes to the billing department for their A+ incompetence. Despite signing a Credit Card Policy that says the office will provide a statement of charges and submit claims to your insurance upon charging your card, this office has continually charged my card without sending any statement of charges. They also failed to submit several of my visits to my insurance (even after I did their job for them and sent them an email laying out very clearly which dates they failed to submit and how much I was charged), so I have been overcharged several times without receiving as much as an email receipt. It's unfortunate because their healthcare providers really do provide great service, but I can't justify continuing to give any of my money to a place that exhibits such blatant disregard for its patients' basic rights. read more

I wound up at this office through a specialist referral from my university health center when I was attending graduate school. I asked the office and the doctors religiously if the tests were covered by my insurance and if they were necessary- I asked that any non-essential tests not be performed, so that I would not wind up with a huge additional fee. Not only did I end up with a co-pay, which according to my insurance provider should never have been taken/required by the office, but I ended up with a nice medical bill for the tests and second visit. Needless to say, they weren't helpful in staying within the bounds of my insurance (not their job to explain insurance to me I know, but I've never been to ANY doctor who doesn't work with you when you tell them you want covered services only). Beyond that, most of the women I have had to deal with on their appointment line, they have one line for several offices, have been awful. They spend so much time speed talking at you about how they are "just trying to help you" that they never succeed in actually making you feel helped. It took them almost a month to fax my records to another doctor after my initial request. Glad to be done with this center. read more

Do not go here. I have been allergy tested before, and have a few allergies. I wanted to get tested again as more allergies have popped up in my family over the past few years and new reactions have occurred with me. First they were doubting my sister's gluten allergy even though she has been tested and has an epipen. They then were trying to deny me a test. Finally I convinced then to give me one and it showed up completely negative. Two weeks later, I went and got tested back in Charlotte - and exactly what I suspected - multiple allergies showed up. The doctor back in Charlotte said there is absolutely NO way my test should have come back negative. Shame on this allergist for first DENYING me to get tested and then for administering a test that could put me in danger. Now I'm fighting for my money back and no one seems to be helpful. read more

I have been having bad eczema on my entire back for 4 years. They come and go. My dermatologist recommended me to go see Dr. Bassett. I made appointment with Dr. Bassett office. When I got there, the waiting time was about 40 minutes. Dr. Bassett only spent 10 mins with me to tell me I should try the food allergy test and skin patch test. He was very quick in and out the room. Luckily, I decided to only try food allergy test first to see if the results will help me to cure my eczema. His assistant came in and put a couple of needles on my arms for 3 mins. That was it. She determined that I am not allergic to anything. The woman who did my skin test was nice and she told me that it would not cost me more than $300. However, I was not impressed and disappointed. I felt like this whole test is not useful of my money and time. Last week I got a bill that is almost $1000! I am shocked. This can't be real. 15 mins of their time and now they overcharged me. I called their billing department to try to clarify. Dr. Bassett's billing department Kim was very rude and useless. I will never ever go back to this office again. NOTE: I am not a review person and I never really wrote a review but this bad service with OVERCHARGING bill are too much. I want everyone to be aware before you make an appointment with this doctor. You bill will be very costly! You will get USELESS information that you already knew. read more

I went to see Dr Kaza for my toddler. She asked a thorough history but was VERY RUDE and condescending when questioned about her route of treatment. And when asked if she would do an allergy test, she rolled her eyes and said " i dont have time for that. did this as a favor to your friend (who referred me) and i have 5 patients waiting for me" so i put on my jacket to get ready to leave and asked if she wanted us to wait outside. Then, eyes rolling again, said " i never said i was done with you. If you dont like it, you are free to go to another". She might be knowledgeable, but her rude demeanor was appalling. Not worth the time. As a client, you pay for the services you need, not the other way around. I am in the medical profession as well, but this is worst. Will be my first and last visit. On a side note, for curiosity, she never even contacted my pharmacy for any meds she recommended and i had to see my daughter's peds to get the meds she needed. She is not the only doctor i can go. She needn't feel the need to offer me her favoured services. If anything, she could have been nicer seeing she was helping out. I do admire the other doctors here. Not her read more

Dr. Kaza and her team (Ambika, Rose, Kevin) at the Financial District location are outstanding. I've been working with them for about eight months on my allergy shots (for dog/cat and dust allergies) and they are careful, attentive and responsive to all aspects of the treatment. Dr. Kaza asks detailed questions and listens carefully to ensure that the treatment is correctly calibrated; she provides a significant amount of personal attention, which is critical for such a specialized treatment. The nurses are warm, punctual and attentive (and good at giving shots). Highly recommended to those looking for an allergist in lower Manhattan! read more

Dr Kaza is very personable and knowledgeable. She is genuinely concerned for her patients and takes time to listen. I suffer from severe Asthma and Dr Kaza changed my life. My asthma is under control and I can breathe better! She is kind and professional and her staff is wonderful. I would highly recommend her! read more

I've seen Dr Bassett twice now and I really appreciate how much thought he put into my medical needs. I have seen too many Drs that have pushed me aside and ignored problems that are clearly bothering me. Dr Bassett was very eager to help and is still continuing to help me. My only complaint, though more of an observation than a complaint, is he talks way too fast!! I recommend this practice to anyone. The front desk are also very friendly and helpful! Thank you. read more

I came in with dark marks on my legs thinking it was an allergic reaction. Dr. Kaza went through all the tests to rule anything out. She took good care of my needs and was so quick! I got to work on time that morning without any issues. The follow up was very easy and the results yielded no allergy after all. She referred me to a specialist after that was very helpful and my dark marks are nearly gone. Definitely would go to her again not only is she smart, thoughtful about treatment options, but caring (so is her staff). Office is conveniently located and is public transportation accessible. read more

Dr. Bassett is hands down the best doctor I have ever gone to in New York! After having a severe cough that lasted for over 2 months and had not been successfully treated by my general practitioner, I went to Dr. Bassett. He wasted no time identifying the problem immediately. After figuring out what caused my cough he was thorough, attentive and made sure all the necessary follow-up was taken care of. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

I'll begin the review by saying that my experience with Dr. Bassett himself was excellent. He was thorough, spent time both explaining and listening, offered some insightful advice that no other doctor had offered, and gave me confidence that I'd get good care. As for the negatives: The wait time is between 40 minutes and over an hour to be seen if you arrive at appointment time. And after the first appointment, patients are seen by an obnoxious, sophomoric, self-absorbed, condescending, and not-so-bright PA named Ms Rothstein. I learned quite a bit about her and her background, why she was so well qualified to be a PA, why she loves to "help people" etc etc, yet when it came time to explain my conditions and why I was there, I was dismissively cut off at every point. She even made insults about Dr. Bassett (her employer), rolling her eyes and saying that as a man he just wasn't that great at understanding patients. Interestingly, toward the end of my 2nd visit, Dr. Bassett came in and with a few brief and focused questions I gave him background on what was up, he listened and summed it up, at which point she snapped defensively "Well, she didn't tell ME that!" Further insight came when she went to a front desk staff member to get another doctor's phone number and she treated this woman terribly -- she was verbally abusive and condescending (I am a firm believer that people show their true selves in the way they treat those who are below them in rank). THEN my allergy shots -- which were urgently needed -- were delayed because she told me they'd call in two weeks when the serum was ready. I waited and waited, and after a month, I called and found they needed to get specific info from me from my insurance in order to mix the serum... and that it isn't a two week process at all. In other words, she botched even that. SO bottom line is, Dr. Bassett is fantastic (I would give him 5 stars). His PA is incompetent and should be removed immediately (she would get 1 star... the reason my overall rating is 2). read more

I am allergic to lanolin, which my dermatologist diagnosed. I came Dr. Ujwala Kaza to learn more about my allergy hoping to get the right prescription. During the consultation Dr. Kaza asked me to tell her everything about what the dermatologist told me, which I did. At the end of the visit, she repeated everything I said and to keep following the dermatologist's directions, I learned nothing. Later, I found out the prescription I was told to use, Synalar has lanolin in it. I was hoping Dr. Kaza had known that or even if she was not sure would at least have tried to find the right steroid to avoid Dr. Kaza was in a rush with the visit and I feel like I wasted my $50 co-pay which I wish I could get my money back. read more

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM! I made an appointment at this place and specifically told them it was to get a food testing done. I told them I would pay out of pocket and was told it would be cost $250. After my 45 min consultation, I was charged $750. I explained that I was told, over the phone, that it would cost $250. They found no better excuse than claiming that it was $250 for the consultation and that the testing was an additional $500. Why not disclose the full amount when you knew exactly what I was coming for. Sketchy office, total scammers, STAY AWAY!!!! read more

I love Carla! This morning I was actually excited to go see her for my asthma/allergy appt. It's weird to be excited to go to the allergist, but I was. I have been going to her for over 6 years during spring allergy season for my asthma and allergies and she brings nothing but smiles! Super kind, super attentive and gives extremely thorough check ups. If you want good friendly service with thorough attention go there! Carla rocks! read more

I started immunotherapy for indoor and outdoor allergies at Dr. Bassett's Park Avenue office back in April 2008. At that point, I was constantly congested, had acid indigestion every day, severe headaches and had 6 sinus infections over a period of 16 months... I basically couldn't live my life: couldn't fly, could hardly tolerate alcohol, etc... After starting the therapy, I began noticing my allergies weren't as severe after 3-4 months and today (about 8 months later) I feel nearly allergy free. No congestion, headaches, stomach problems... and I think most impressive, not one sinus infection! Before being referred to Dr. Bassett, I had been to many specialists over a period of several years, including 3 ENT's, 1 allergist who told me I had no allergies!?!?!?, etc. I never thought I would feel so good again... in fact, I forgot how it felt to just feel normal! read more

Wow. Dr. Kaza and her staff are gems. I have suffered from food allergies since I was a child and grew up going to the allergist's office. It has always been the same thing - they ask me a few questions and that's it. But Dr. Kaza actually spent time with me and delved into my food allergies. I came to find out I was avoiding foods I wasn't even allergic to. Because of her I am able to eat more and have a less restricted diet. Few doctors are as comprehensive as she is and you can see she is actually caring and passionate for what she does. If you want to see someone who is smart and actually knows what she is doing, she is the person to see! Hands down, the best doctor I have ever seen! read more

My favorite doctor ever. Dr. Kaza should be the model for all physicians. She is extraordinarily sharp and always up to date on new drugs either approved or in the clinic, results of studies, and also areas of medicine that are outside of her specialty (This is sort of false. She is also board certified in immunology and internal medicine). And caring!! It's hard to believe how often she checks in if I'm not feeling so great (asthma), and always has a plan up her sleeve -something to try when things aren't going so well. She *really* cares. The only problem I can even think of is that she's a little difficult to see. I don't mean getting an appointment or having the time you need for each visit. I mean *see* in the literal sense. I believe the technical term is "itty bitty thing." She is *maybe* 95 pounds when holding a cinder block and is perpetually zipping around the office trying to get everything done. Not unlike a Road Runner cartoon. So, it's not so easy to determine if she has just run by or whether someone in the office just turned on a giant fan. I'm obviously kidding a little about her, but I'm dead serious when I say that you will never find a sharper, better or more dedicated and caring physician. She is very special. I wish I could give her 6 stars. read more

What are you waiting for? Go make an appointment! Dr. Bassett is not only hilarious and very fast, he clearly thinks critically and carefully about his patients and their cases. He considers your whole health picture and really sympathizes with you. He really cares about his patients and takes good care of them. Thorough, compassionate, clearly a phenomenal allergist, and with a great personality, I highly recommend him (I saw him at the Gramercy - Park Avenue South) office. read more

I was a first time patient of Dr. Silverman and I cannot say enough good things about her. I was very anxious about going to an allergist as soon as she walked in I was greeted by an exceptionally calm , compassionate , bright and dedicated physician. She spent a great deal of time with me and I had the rare opportunity to discuss with her questions I have had for years about my health. I wish she was a specialist in all fields. I think she is a gold star doctor and I would have to say I was very fortunate to have found her. I highly recommend her and the office. read more

So thankful for this office and their team! Living with asthma all my life and I never had doctors who were fully able to help me prevent it. Since coming here I feel like I have it under better control! All the staff was also very nice, friendly and caring! read more

This practice is really special. I am most impressed by the curtesy and level of care. The entire staff is very professional from the lovely attitudes at walk-in, multiple reminders and check-ins, and accommodations (when has your dr. Last gotten you tea or sent someone out to get you a bagel while you wait out testing?). The time spent with patients is unparalleled. I always get a follow-up email with instructions, samples for treatment that are incidental to the reason for visit, and lots of time spent discussing the presenting problem, options, considerations and collaboration of care. Docs respond quickly on-call and are availed for follow-up calls regularly. This team is clearly dedicated to providing the best care and making their patients feel like family. Dr. Patel in particular is so friendly and sweet and has made the stressful venture of allergy testing with our toddler a comforting experience. I fully trust all the expertise and protocols being delivered. Can't say enough good things about this practice. Thank you so much AACNY! read more

I've been going to the midtown location and just switched I this one excuse it's close to work. The allergist met with me within 5 minutes of walking in the door. Reviewed my history an started me on my first allergy shot. read more

I never write reviews but Dr. Bassett deserves it. He is very kind and thorough and will keep working with you for answers on your problems no matter what they are. Many doctors would just dismiss you if they can't find the answer but he will work with you and is a great doctor. read more

Dr. Bassett is very friendly and well-informed. He seems to take a genuine interest in his patient's overall health and will take the time to explain things. I would strongly recommend him. read more

I had an excellent experience with this practice and with Dr. Patel in particular. Dr. Patel took the time to listen to my concerns and talk things through with me during my appointment, and also was very responsive to my follow-up questions by email after my appointment. I greatly appreciate the care she took with me and highly recommend her. read more

After suffering for years, I went to see Dr. Bassett and had a wonderful experience! I am now able to enjoy Spring in NYC. Great staff, convenient location, great doctors! Highly recommended! read more

I really had a good experience here the staff is great. I go to the doctor's often but I've never had an such a great experience as I did in this office. Dr. Patel is a great doctor she's very hands she will keep in touch with you every step of the way which I appreciated. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Patel in the Gramercy office for the past year or so, and she is a wonderful doctor. She has a great bedside manner: kind, patient, and answers all of my questions without making me feel stupid. She also went above and beyond to work with my insurance company when they denied coverage for one of my medications. Most importantly, she was able to treat my allergies and I can finally breathe again! I would definitely recommend her! read more

A friend and client had recommended Dr. Bassett. I really had the most amazing knowledgeable and sweet experience. The PA Elizabeth Rothstien was so caring, and Dr. Bassett was so kind as well. I would highly highly recommend anyone with asthma or allergies to go in for a consultation as I have both and now feel at ease knowing I have the best care I can ask for. read more
