Your trust is our top concern.

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.

Dr. Larson is very thorough and personable. I appreciate how patient he is and how he always takes the time to completely answer all of my questions. He has provided the best care my daughter has ever received. He has helped her to have a dramatic improvement in her overall health.

Dr. Larson has been my daughter's allergist for 13 years. He is knowledgable, friendly and courteous as his wonderful Nurse Julie. He listens to both my daughter and I and addresses any questions we might have. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an experienced allergist.

Did a blood test where he only checked for a few things, after finding nothing with a scratch. I wish he would have checked for more allergans. Son has severe eczema this would have been really helpful considering my sons health. I also do not agree with doctors who prescribe little children topical steroids. It should have been obvious that these drugs were causing more harm then good. Son underwent topical steroid withdrawal because of the negligence of his doctors and it is horrific.

We saw Dr. Larson twice by a referral by our PCP. First impressions were bad, however I thought that he had been a professional for years so he could help my little boy get better. On the first visit, I was unhappy as he misdiagnosed my son with eczema (he doesn't have eczema). The second visit was AWFUL. Dr. Larson then went out of his way to instigate a verbal altercation with me because I believe that my son's hives were not caused by food, but by touch. His father has the same condition.
