My previous (beloved) allergy asthma doctor retired, so I've been trying to find someone great to replace him the past few years. I can confidently say, after seeing several other doctors, Dr. Fritz the whole package - experienced, sharp, friendly, good listener, great team. Glad I found this office.

I am a former patient of Dr. Fritz. I cannot say enough about him! He is a gem!! I love love LOVE Dr. Fritz and Eli!! I may have missed something(s) online with my paperwork, however, I felt the receptionist(s) were more concerned about the length of time I was taking to fill out my paperwork, than accuracy of my paperwork work. I felt rushed when I was asked if I was finished, that I was over my appointment time. Also, I received a call on 5/24/2021 asking me to “change my appointment time (11:45am) because my appointment would run into their lunchtime.” Dr. Fritz is awesome, and I know from y own experience, that he will give each of his patients as much time as needed whether the time runs into “lunchtime”or not. He is a very compassionate doctor! His receptionists are his frontline staff, who, in my opinion, can make or break his reputation! I would suggest that new incoming patients have the ability to fill out lengthy paperwork way ahead of time, either online, which I may have missed, via email or snail mail. Thank you very much.

It was great
Verified patient
Great bedside manner. Very thorough in taking your history and working with you to discover your allergies / making a plan to address them. Highly recommend their team!
Verified patient
I appreciated the clean and well-spaced waiting area. The staff was friendly and took the time to answer my questions since I had never been to an allergist before. :)
Verified patient
Good.
He was so helpful.
I had an offbeat experience. I was told it would be fine that I accidentally took an allergy pill, and I ended up wasting time away from work and having to reschedule.
Verified patient
Excellent, highly recommend to anyone.
I have been with AAIM for about five years and they are the best of the best. I have struggled my whole life with severe allergies & asthma (the worst case most doctors have seen). Through this clinic I have become able to to be around cute dogs, ridden my first horse & successfully gotten off of my inhaled steroids that I have depended on for years. I have also managed to desensitize myself to peanuts, which has been a life long deadly allergy for me. Nothing but five stars for this amazing clinic. They are my second family, and I love everyone on the staff.
