Great visit with a friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I arrived on time for my appointment but was told my insurance was not accepted, even though I had verified my coverage beforehand and there were no conflicts. It took about an hour for them to validate my insurance, after which they still confirmed it was out of network. I was willing to proceed and pay out of pocket since I urgently needed a consultation. However, I was then informed that I might have to wait even longer to see if they could “squeeze me in,” despite my appointment being scheduled for 10:45 and already well past that time. Given the uncertainty and delay—despite agreeing to the high out-of-pocket cost—I had to cancel and find another provider. Both the clinic’s website and Zocdoc indicated that my insurance was accepted, which made this experience especially frustrating.
The doctor was really nice and helpful. The wait time was minimal but the nurse or nurse assistant who did my bloodwork despite being super nice was very inexperienced.
Dr. Frankel was attentive, answered all of my questions and provided me with excellent care. I'd recommend him without any hesitations.
Verified patient
Had a recent visit there and the in office experience was good. But just received my bill and it was extremely expensive. The doctor wouldn’t tell you the cost of allergy test beforehand and that’s a surprise factor.
Dr.Frankel was extremely professional and friendly during my appointment. He was really patient with the assessment and the whole appointment was easy and fast without the feelings of being rushed. Also super impressive charting skill to be able to type without looking
Verified patient
My experiences with Dr. Frankel have all been extremely positive. He listens attentively to all my questions and concerns, and has come up with a clear game-plan to tackle my chronic allergy issues. I highly recommend Dr. Frankel.
Verified patient
Great experience!
Dr. Frankel was thorough, really listened to my needs, and worked toward providing a solution. He encourages a follow-up. Very comfortable with him.
Verified patient
Staff is polite, amazing. I have been plagued with worsening allergies and asthma for years. Dr. Frankel is the ONLY allergist who took the time to “peel the layers of the onion”, reviewing my history and lab results and make a proper diagnosis. This is after 35 years! He is an excellent physician and human being.
Verified patient
First time visiting this office. The staff was very friendly. I was very impressed by the fact that every person I came in contact with made a good attempt at trying to pronounce my name correctly (which most people don’t). Dr Frankel active listened to my history and concerns and crafted a plan that he thinks will be effective. I suggested other things and I kinda appreciated he didn’t just roll with it. I’m expecting to follow through with his advice.
Verified patient
Dr, Frankel was amiable, attentive and thorough. He was patient when it came to answering any inquiries I had about my visit. I would definitely recommend him for those seeking the services of an allergist.
Verified patient
Dr. Frankel was professional, kind and accommodating during my visit with him. He was able to assure me that i should get back to enjoying the Spring season again once testing for allergies is completed and treatment starts. He also has a sense of humor as well, which is always appreciated. :)
Verified patient
Friendly staff, friendly doc and great listeners! As a first time patient, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to do the whole visit in under 40 min! I also didn’t feel rushed. After years of not knowing what caused my hives and even having another allergist tell me he didn’t know, I was finally able to get answers. Hoping my treatment plan works! Dr. Frankel was really nice and easy to understand.
Verified patient
Dr Frenkel is professional and warm. He explains his diagnosis and plan of treatment. I was seen right on time and did not feel rushed. I am confident as to his expertise.
Verified patient
Dr. Frankel was great! So professional and very attentive. Did not feel I was rushed and he really listened. Super informative.
Verified patient
Great doctor! Really clear communicator! But front staff just gives you a blank stare and glares if you ask them anything. I would love to come get my allergy shots here, but the thought of having to deal with the front staff 2-3 times a week is not worth it to me!
Dr.Frankel was very kind and informative. Not only did he provide great service, he validated my feelings about my allergies and helped outline a path to treating them. The entire office was clean and I felt the staff’s energy really paired well with the doctors service.
Verified patient
My recent experience with Dr. Frankel left me feeling extremely disappointed and misled. After undergoing an allergy skin test, I received a shocking bill which my insurance barely covered. Dr. Frankel failed to disclose the test's cost and the fact that it doesn't work on 10-15% of people during the initial consultation, crucial information that would have influenced my decision. Attempts to seek guidance were met with silence from him, and communication with the practice manager became increasingly difficult, leaving me feeling abandoned and frustrated. I am now compelled to file an official complaint as the lack of transparency, communication, and accountability in this experience is entirely unacceptable. I hope that Dr. Frankel addresses these issues and improves his patient care practices in the future.
Dr. Frankel is personable, listens well, and explains things clearly and accessibly. Refreshingly, he is very engaging and unrushed— which can be rare in an increasingly computer-based healthcare environment. I had a great experience, had high confidence in the quality of care, and I recommend Dr. Frankel enthusiastically.
Verified patient
Superb experience at the office. I was seen right away and Dr. Frankel and his assistant were very attentive to my health concerns. They were also very patient and professional. Overall 10/10

Dr. Frankel was very patient and understanding of my symptoms. He was knowledgeable not only about allergies but how allergies can affect other symptoms in my body. I was very happy seeing Dr. Frankel and would recommend to anyone.
Dr. Frankel is a very smart doctor. Concise and to the point with what he has to say, very clear with his explanations, knows what he’s talking about, and always asks if you have any questions.
Would definitely recommend Dr. Frankel, he was patient, thorough, answered all my questions and listened to my concerns. Nyssa (sorry if spelled incorrectly) who assisted Dr. Frankel was friendly and professional. Exam room was very clean and I was seen on time. All around excellent care!
