What Our Patients Are Saying

This review is specifically for Dr. Makol. She is an excellent allergist, very knowledgeable and helpful. She was thorough and patient during our visit, answered all questions. Thank you Dr. Makol!

The entire staff is friendly and polite, making the visit comfortable and easy. Dr. Rassbach is wonderful. He explains procedures in a clear concise manner, answers all questions and concerns patiently, and gives helpful suggestions and advice. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and neighbors.

Nice and friendly staff. Dr. Goldsobel specially was extremely thorough and patient with my answer and took his time asking many questions trying to pin point the problem. Very happy.

Very professional and I would not trade Dr Goldsobel for anyone else ever. He understands severe eczema.

I have been seeing Dr. Torrano for over 15 years. I was referred to him by my ENT. He has always been open and honest with me re my tests and tracks info from other doctors re my health. I truly appreciate his diligence and openness with me.

I've been dealing with skin allergies for four years and dermatologist haven't been interested in the environmental factors that can be the cause of my suffering. It was determined that this is atopic dermatitis and that was the end of story. Eliminate these products, don't take hot showers, and treat your skin with steroids. Thankfully I was able to dodge the steroid treatment because at the end of the day it does not cure you. It only treats the manifestation of a fight that's going inside you. I prefer to start by reducing exposure to the things that I react to and then take advantage of medical means if necessary. Today, Dr. Gandhe and the incredible staff at the Allergy and Asthma Associates looked at the big picture of my skin condition and made me feel heard. They did extensive testing all within my allotted appointment time and went through the interpretation of the result right away. I highly recommend this institution to anyone dealing with anything that could be caused by the environment.

I have been to four allergy offices due to moves and changes in insurance and I far prefer A&AA to my previous ones. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Gandhe. Dr Gandhe is very thorough, makes sure to ask questions about everything relevant, puts together a plan, and explains it and every medication clearly. She is the only doctor to have me tested for asthma, try alternative medications, and order a CT scan to rule out sinus issues for my headaches (which then led to me seeing a neurologist and getting a migraine diagnosis after 4 years instead of being told they are allergy headaches!)

I didn't know where to turn. After six years of constant coughing, sleepless nights, and difficulty exercising, and after seeing my primary care physician repeatedly as well as five different specialists in allergy, pulmonary and cardiology, none of whom could help me, I was at the end of my rope. And then I got lucky. I was reading Diagnosis, the monthly New York Times article in which brilliant physicians make rare diagnoses in patients with medical mysteries, and that's where I found Dr. Wolfe, an allergist and pulmonologist whose office just happened to be near where I live. I looked him up and found he was the senior member of his allergy group, had an impressive background, and had received multiple awards, so I made an appointment to see him.

When I saw Dr. Wolfe, he was kind, thoughtful, and calming. He obtained a very detailed medical history and ordered a variety of tests. Within days he diagnosed my problem, changed my medications, and put me on a new treatment plan. In less than ten days after seeing Dr. Wolfe, my longstanding, debilitating cough was gone, I finally could sleep through the night again, and I was back to exercising without difficulty. It felt like a miracle after so many years of suffering. I have since recommended to close friends that they take their young child to Dr. Wolfe for her chronic hives and sinus problems, and she, too, has done great under his care.

Dr. Wolfe is a genius, and he's the most humble and respectful physician in the world. If you're looking for a great doctor, go see Dr. Wolfe.

Dr. Wolfe is personable and takes his time to explain your concerns. Most doctors don't make eye contact and type on their computer while asking questions. I have confidence he will take care of my sinus problem. With 50 yrs experience, how can he miss?

I have been a patient over thirty years at Allergy and Asthma Associates. Dr. Wolfe is outstanding! Every doctor, nurse, and support staff I have come in contact with over the years have been professional, kind, and compassionate.

Dr. Goldsobel has been treating my father's asthma for the past 4 years. Very professional and caring! Highly recommended.

Dr. Torrano was extremely knowledgable and took a detailed history at my first appointment. He told me quite a bit about my options and made sure I had many opportunities to ask questions. He was very compassionate and practical about the solutions I had for my allergies. I was pleased and surprised to learn he could be my asthma doctor as well as my allergist. All of the staff I interacted with were pleasant, helpful and professional. I feel very lucky to have ended up with Dr. Torrano as my doctor!

Have been a patient for over 10 years. Dr Torrano is knowledgeable and keeps me healthy. He believes in face to face communication. He always has a smile on his face. The office staff seem to like and respect him.

I've been going to Allergy and Asthma Associates for allergy shots for a few years now, and am incredibly grateful and fortunate to have had two of the most amazing, intuitive, kind and compassionate doctors here. This is a shout-out to Dr. Leung and the entire staff (especially the tireless angels in the Shot Station) for placing themselves at risk during a pandemic so that we patients can stay healthy and keep going during a most difficult time. I can't thank them enough. Dr. Leung is incredible and truly cares, just a good person. Having other health issues alongside the allergies, without the treatment and medicine I receive here, I am a very sick human, and would not be able to keep working or function in life. The work this clinic does is important. They are professional, efficient and flexible, working with me more than once to assist me in continuing to receive treatment in between insurance lapses. May everyone here stay safe, protected and healthy. 10 STARS!!!

Dr Leung articulates well, great as translating medical mumbo jumbo into plain English, have the best bedside manner and super responsive. She left me personal voice mail about the course of action she took after noting that I had an issue with an allergy shot and gave me her number that I could reach her anytime if I had any questions. I feel completely confident that I'm under Dr Leung's care to take care allergy and asthma for long term health.
