I am SO thankful I stumbled upon Dr. T! His bedside manner was amazing. You can tell he is passionate about what he does, super smart and very caring. Highly recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised to walk in the door, and not even have time to sit as they called my name. A well run office. Very friendly, punctual, and thorough. I made the appt. because I was having difficulty breathing due to an allergic reaction, and they ran a breathing test before giving me the appropriate breathing treatment. Dr. T. was thorough with his questions regarding my medical history and appropriately prescribed medication. I was afraid to come home because of how severe my allergic asthma was, but with the medicine, I can breathe and rest. Dr. T. is a great find!

Dr. T has made a lasting impression on my family, but more so on my 3.5 year old daughter. My daughter has battled severe food allergies since she was 5 months old. She started with peanut, dairy, egg, cashew, soy ad beef. When I first heard my daughters' diagnoses, I was distraught and did not know where to turn, what to feed my daughter or how to handle food allergies. Dr. T took us by the hand and educated us on food allergies, possible reactions, cross contamination, etc. Since going to Dr. T, my daughter has outgrown beef, soy, and cashews. He was diligent in testing her and advising us to conduct food challenges and then having us offer egg and dairy into baked foods. He has no idea how positively this has impacted all of our lives and we are forever grateful. I am an extremely protective mother with tons of questions and in my opinion, Dr. T is the best doctor that I have ever witnessed, he is extremely knowledgeable-an expert in his field who is always on the forefront. My daughter has a personal relationship with Dr.T and has grown to love him. She colors pictures for him and his name is used almost weekly in our household. We trust and value Dr. T's medical opinions and advice. Dr. T is irreplaceable and loved by our family.

I'm very impressed with Dr. T and also the support staff...everyone is friendly and professional. I've been getting shots for opps decades and 'Dr. T' explains options and what & why he prescribing medicines. He also contacted my primary physician with the medicine change... he is my new allergist.

Dr. T has been the greatest help for my allergy and asthma issues that I have had in 30+ years. His personal, caring approach is like none other that I have experienced and his treatments have helped me to have a more fulfilling outdoor life without the strain from over the counter "remedies" or medications thrown at me over the years by previous doctors.

Dr. T is a very friendly, knowledgeable doctor. He took a lot of time explaining my options and going over my skin test results. The testing was easy, and the process of getting allergy shots is simple and quick. I highly recommend Allergy Partners of Springfield.
More than 1 year agoJW
Dr. T is amazing! He changed my life. I had been allergic to something every single season of the year, so I never realized I was allergic. He studied my allergies and developed the just right protocol for me. I recommended him highly for anyone seeking kind and compassionate allergy care!

I was diagnosed with asthma as a child and have suffered from allergies for more than 2 decades. I have visited numerous physicians during this time, all of whom were very kind, knowledgeable professionals that delivered admirable care and alternation. Before Dr. Thyagarajan (Dr. T. to us), I was pleased with my overall healthcare experience and the physicians that cared for me. Before Dr.T. I had no idea what a truly great physician was. Without a doubt Dr. T. is the most personable and attentive physician I have ever visited. Like a detective uncovering a mystery, his questions are purposeful and abundant. Professionally speaking, I have never felt more important to a physician than the 10-15 minutes spend with Dr. T. twice a year; in all honesty, I wish our visits were more numerous and time-consuming. As a person, Dr. T. is kind and very approachable. Although most of our conversations took place in an 8x8 medical exam room, they were more reminiscent of conversations with friends at coffee shops or with family at holiday gatherings. If you're looking for a truly unique experience as a patient, please give Dr. T a chance. You will not regret it!!
