Kansas City Allergy & Asthma Associates

I have been seeing Dr. Frankel for 15 years and he and his staff are amazing. When I first started seeing them many years ago across from Shawnee Mission Medical before they moved, they did the scratch test to see what I was allergic too, my back lit up like a Christmas Tree. We decide on a shot regimen and allergy medications.
I took shots for five years and then we decided medication was enough. I went to having multiple sinus infections a year to one if any a year. I still have allergy issues and always will, but they are better than they were for the most part.
I have developed a few new ones and they have treated them too. What I love the most about them is they were the ones that discovered I had acid reflux 12 years ago and recommended a great GI doctor who was able to get the reflux under control.
This year I thought I had developed asthma and went to see Dr. Frankel and discovered after doing the asthma tests that I didn’t have asthma but silent reflux which is allergy related. They came up with a new treatment plan and I have been great since. I have a follow up where they are going to retest me for new allergies and reevaluate my medications.
They are extremely caring and have followed up with me when serious issues have occurred. How many doctor and nurses have they staff call and check on you. Not many but they do.
Not only the best allergist in town, but I firmly believe one of the best doctors in town.

I am so very dissatisfied with the service we received at the shot clinic. The nurses are very impersonal… rude, even. I forgot to give my daughter a Zyrtec a few times before her shot, and they sent me and four kids packing without treatment. It is a LOT of effort to haul 4 kids up there to come home without a shot! They even accused me of lying about giving my daughter a Zyrtec, which I would never do for the sake of her health. Then, after an unresolved disagreement about whether or not my daughter needed to have a check up every three months, I got a letter in the mail saying that they would no longer care for my daughter. Lovely, considering the hundreds of dollars I have given them and the shots still owed! I would not recommend this clinic under any circumstances.

Helping me kill my allergies, one shot at a time!
Since going to the KCAA, I’ve definitely seen improvement in my allergies and hopefully that keeps improving. I’ve been going for a year and this fall was only slightly annoying.
Being jammed with needles on a regular basis never felt so good!

I can always count on them! They’ve helped me fix problems not even my primary care doctor could fix… I was really sick all of last year and they really helped me out! I trust this place completely and could not be more thankful! Smartest doctors around!

Not that anyone looks forward to visiting the doctor, but I’ve had a great experience so far here. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Wald here at KCAA for several years now. I’ve also seen a few other doctors there occasionally when Dr. Wald didn’t have openings.
They are a large office with two locations, a new one in south Olathe and another in Overland Park. I go to the Olathe office regularly for my allergy shots. Their nurses are very nice at both locations. When I’ve gone in for a sick visit, I’m usually able to get in the day I call. They don’t usually run too far behind and I’ve never felt like I’ve waited «forever» on the doctor to come in.
Dr. Wald is a great doctor. He takes his time to listen and answer any questions. I’ve never felt rush out or unheard. He does a good job of offering some homeopathic remedies too which is a nice alternative. I wasn’t sure about that at first, but I tried some and they worked.
I would highly recommend this office if you suffer from allergies or asthma. They’ll take good care of you.
