The Physician Assistance was very professional, polite, courteous and concerned. She was also very detailed regarding my physical and mental health. The physician ask me about all my medications to be assured that all the medications were okay to consume. She also talked about a medical condition that I am dealing with. She didn't give me any medication, but referred me to have blood work done to make sure she is treating me for the right condition.

Edited: They delays were really just a few week blip. They’re back to being quick! Scheduling was easy at first, staff is AMAZING but coming to an allergy shot only to discover that there is going to be an hour long wait to get the shot (and then you have to wait an extra 30 mins in the office prior to leaving) is completely unacceptable. I’m noticing wait times ticking up in general with each visit which means they’re simply understaffing. I want to reiterate though that the staff here is great. They just need more. 🙂

He was kind and thorough and allowed me ask many questions without making me feeling at all rushed. He showed me the type of needle that would be used for my young son's potential allergy shots after I asked about how the pain would be -- he wanted to assure me that it would be less than a "normal" shot or vaccine.

I recently visited the Staten Island location of NY Allergy And Sinus Centers. I suddenly developed a cat allergy and have SEVEN CATS. They are my dear friends. I was shocked at having de4veloped allergies, as I have had these cats for many years and have never been allergic to anything at all. My problem was diagnosed by another top allergist at a different facility. I was anxious to begin allergy shots because I was very sick. This provider gave me a difficult time and sa9d I would have to wait between 6-8 weeks for approval. I went to NY Allergy And Sinus Centerts. I am so happy I did. Within one week, they set up the allergy serum and I received my first shot yesterday. I will continue r4eceiving them twice weekly. While the first allergist couldn't care less about how sick I felt-this was completely different approach I received from NY Allergy and Sinus Centers. Even though my serum will be in next week, Dr Nejat mixed up the serum for me personally nd gave me my first injection. Rather than ignore my suffering and make me wait so long, they empathized with my concerns about being so ill and took extra measures to expedite my immunotherapy. The entire staff, Toni Santiago and Sally,the angelic receptionist were caring and a pleasure to know. Sally knew how badly I was feeling and she called Dr Nejat and explained to him my quandary. She phoned me up yesterday and told me to come in to the facility in two hrs. Sally went out of her way to help me because she really cared about me as a person and not an entity. I was accommodated royally and very few medical facilities do this. They are too swamped with patients and treat them like assembly line objects and not as individuals. This medical facility is UNIQUE because they cared about me. They went out of their way and used all their resources to expedite my shots because they CARED. This is so rare with today's medical practices. Sally spent so much time trying to expedite my treatment-she did not have to do this, but she did, Where are you going to find this concern nowadays? I am RAVING about this practice because they made me feel like an INDIVIDUAL. They really cared.I am grateful for finding them and I am so overwhelmed with their empathy for others. By the way, the first allergist ,which I canceled, is still making me wait because obviously her office is treating me like a non caring entity that is too busy to actually realize how sick allergies can make a patient and they expect me to wait 6-8 weeks for allergy shots. To me, this is what a medical practice should do-but so many drs. are so busy that they just do not care about how desperate a patient is to begin treatment. I am thankful to Dr Nejat,Toni Santiago, and above all Sally-who went out of her way-although swamped with patients, to help me because she did not want me to wait duo long for treatment and she CARED ABOUT ME AS A PERSON. My accolades to this practice. I thank them and am grateful I found them!! Marc S Roth

Had an appointment with Dr Robert Lin and it was great! The office is very clean, everything was on time/professional and everyone was very nice. Dr Lin made everything clear, easy, and painless. He listened to everything I said and took the time to make sure I felt understood. Highly recommend if you need an asthma/allergy doctor/office!

I must say! I’ve been to a few allergist in my years but NEVER have I gotten the attention and dedication like I did today. The nurse was so sweet and compassionate. I forgot her name but I know she’s Peruvian! She took her time listening to me and explaining all the tests. Next I met Crystal and wow she’s amazing! We chatted about all symptoms and history. I felt heard, and understood. We came up with a game plan and I left feeling secured about what I should do next. I’m so so happy I came across this office and looking forward to my treatment plan with them.

NY Allergy & Sinus Center on the Upper West Side completely changed the game for my allergies. After years of seasonal suffering in NYC—especially during spring—I finally found relief here. The doctors are thorough, attentive, and clearly experts in allergy treatment. From my very first visit, they pinpointed exactly what triggered my symptoms and created a customized treatment plan that actually worked. The staff makes everything seamless, with easy appointment scheduling and minimal wait times—rare in Manhattan. I appreciate their clear communication, too; no confusing medical jargon, just straightforward advice. The office is comfortable, clean, and inviting. After just a few treatments, I experienced noticeable improvement—less sneezing, fewer itchy eyes, and overall, more energy to enjoy the city. If you’re struggling with allergies, save yourself time and frustration. NY Allergy & Sinus Center knows allergies better than anyone else I’ve tried. Highly recommend giving them a shot. 🌸

The receptionists are very efficient and super friendly. I’m greeted as soon as I walk through the door and they always address me by first name which makes me feel at home. And Dr. Lin is very professional and goes over my records with me and has as much time as I need to asks questions. Dr. Lin also makes me feel comfortable during my appointment. I would highly recommend NYACS Chelsea Team.
