We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Recommend Dr. Shea
I have suffered from allergic rhinitis for most of my life. When I was in my 20's I took allergy shots for several years but they never worked the way I expected them to. Dr. Shea diagnosed me with delayed food allergies, and almost immediately I felt better after starting the Allertol sublingual drops. Not only did I discover that my allergy and sinus problems were being caused by delayed food allergies, but I also found relief from occasional headaches and acid reflux. Dr. Shea listens to your concerns and explains everything thoroughly, and his staff members are all friendly and helpful.

Great Team!
Dr. Shea and his team are great! They listen and show they really care. I was diagnosed with Menieres and have been using Dr. Shea's Allertol drops which have really helped with my symptoms (my main symptoms were ear pain/pressure & extreme sensitivity to sound).

My daily migraines are finally gone!
Dr. Shea helped me finally get rid of the daily headaches and migraines that I have been suffering from for over 30 years by testing and treating my delayed food allergies. I have gluten and dairy allergies that were helped immensely by the Allertol drops and I couldn’t be more grateful to Dr. Shea. It took a little while to find which drop combo helped best, but it was totally worth it!! I had bloating I could never get rid of, a high-pitched tone in my ears, itching in my hands and the middle of my back, not to mention a CONSTANTLY upset stomach and all of those things are a thing of the past-including the daily headaches. I would have never guessed that these issues stemmed from food allergies and I feel better than I have in years!! The best part is my seasonal allergies and sinus infections have been greatly reduced. Thank you to Dr. Shea and his staff for giving me my life back. Very highly recommended!

Dr. Shea's Allertol has helped me dramatically. I suffer from Meniere's Disease symptoms and the only think I've found to help keep them at bay is Allertol. It works fast, is easy to add to my daily routine, and has kept my symptoms very light for half a year now. I'd highly recommend Dr. Shea to anyone looking for an ENT. He's also very personable and has a great sense of humor!

I highly recommend Dr. Shea and the allergy drop treatment. After suffering from chronic and almost daily hives for 12 years and despite going to some excellent doctors who simply had no treatment for getting rid of this condition, I had almost given up. Then I heard about allergy drops. I am amazed at the results. My hives are almost completely gone after 6 months of allergy drops. My late father was an allergist so I was accustomed to the best of care and that is exactly what I’ve gotten from Dr. Shea and his entire staff. Starting with Karen at the front desk with my first phone call, and Chandra with my initial intake, and then Dr. Shea at my initial appointment, I have been treated with kindness, caring, and an individualized approach. I have not had this kind of care since I was under the care of my own father, before the advent of allergy drops. I am so appreciative of Dr. Shea and his staff and this easy and effective treatment.

I can’t begin to tell you how much Dr. Shea and his staff have helped me. I liked that he tried everything he could before suggesting surgery for my sinuses. Even after surgery I feel like a new person with a better outlook on life. I was afraid because I was told how terrible sinus surgery recovery can be but I can tell you even now, two days after, I feel great. I just can’t stress enough how amazing everyone is at this office from the front desk to the exam room.

He performed my balloon sinuplasty a year ago, and I haven't had to see him since because I have yet to get a sinus infection since the surgery. He's also the only doctor who has been able to figure out my allergies! His under-the-tongue allergy drops are far better than making multiple trips for allergy shots, like I've had to do for several years when I was younger! I appreciate that he also suggests natural, over-the-counter remedies and supplements. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Shea has been my life saver. The last two years have been miserable during ragweed season. I would be put on steroid pills, inhalers, nebulizer and antibiotics. My family physician told me I had asthma. After the testing with Dr. Shea I discovered I only have food allergies. With the Allertol food drops and his guidance I have been allergy free this season. No nasal drainage, coughing or sneezing. If you suffer from allergies please contact his office for an appointment. Great doctor!

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Shea for YEARS. That alone should speak of the quality of care Dr. Shea provides! He is an EXPERT in his field and has been a blessing to resolving issues each of us have had with our ears and sinus issues! His staff is knowledgeable and each and everyone you come in contact with will treat you like family. We love Dr. Shea and his entire team and would be lost without them!

Dr Shea is a great doctor with excellent bedside manners and knowledge. I was referred to Dr Shea in an emergency with suspected Tonsillar abscess. He was not only accommodating but compassionate about my situation. Thankfully it didn't turn out to be an abscess but he did recommend that I get my tonsils taken out. If I ever decide to do that, it's only going to be at Dr Shea's. I would highly recommend Dr Shea.

Dr Shea has been treating me for delayed food allergies with sublingual drops. I had been hospitalized 2 times for reactions besides many non emergency reactions, asthma flairs and IBS. I was told: 1. There is no such thing as delayed reactions. 2. Just avoid the foods you react to. 3. Carry an epi pen. The Doctors didn't know what was causing symptoms and reactions. With Dr. Shea's sublingual drops my rash on my face, head and chest are gone and no more wheezing from my throat tightening!
