Real Patient Reviews

5-Star Testimonials

We love hearing feedback from our patients and our community. Read just some of our 5-star patient testimonials.

“This is not my first experience with an allergist for one of my children and my goodness did they exceed expectations by a mile. Dr. Briedenbaugh and his entire staff spent hours with me and my infant discussing all of my concerns/allergies, skin testing, and then creating a plan of action. Highly recommend putting your trust in their expertise and level of commitment.”

-Miranda

“I had a great experience with Richmond Allergy and Asthma Specialists. The staff were very knowledgeable and courteous. They provided with great care. I really appreciated how much time my treating physician spent with me collecting my history and other information and then going over the testing results and all the treatment options that I can consider.”

-Hal

“From the time I booked my new patient appointment, to the day I checked in, to my actual appointment, I have never been so pleased about having to see a doctor. Everyone treated me with kindness and respect. They answered my questions and never talked over my head. They also comforted me when I was feeling anxious. I would highly recommend Richmond Allergy.”

-Kathy

Answering Your Top Questions

Are you accepting new patients?

Do you treat sinuses?

Yes! If you’re suffering from sinusitis or other sinus related issues, we can help you find relief. We offer personalized sinus treatment to help you breathe better.

Do you offer oral immunotherapy?

We are happy to provide oral immunotherapy for our patients with food allergies. Patients ingest or hold under the tongue small amounts of allergens. The goal of this treatment is to gradually and safely increase exposure and reduce the likelihood of an extreme reaction.

What is SLIT therapy and how is it different from oral immunotherapy?

During sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), patients receive allergy drops under the tongue via drops or tablets. It requires smaller doses than oral immunotherapy, which means less risk of side effects for some patients.
