Love Dr. V and the staff in the shot clinic.
Dr. V is very informative and explains things in detail. I'd definitely recommend!

I cannot recommend Dr. Wust enough!
He is super friendly and extremely thorough with trying to find the best solution to solving any allergy problems. It seems like he actually cares about the issues you have and doesn't just try to rush you through the appointment. Any questions I had about the process and possible treatments he went above and beyond answering. His staff was very friendly and funny which is a great distraction when you are getting an allergy test. Making appointments were easy and they have an online patient portal. If you have allergy issues then Dr. Wust is the guy to see.

This is way overdue. Dr. Venkatesh and everyone at the clinic are great people.
She started me on a shot regimen that took me from about one bronchial infection per month to none. The office staff has always been exceedingly helpful and friendly and have patiently helped through an insurance change. Great people!
