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.

Finally feeling like myself again!
I had been feeling unwell for quite some time—constant headaches, dizziness, low energy, and swollen sinuses. I suspected allergies might be the cause. After meeting with Dr. Kelkar, he took the time to really listen and put me on a strict diet tailored to my symptoms. Within just a few weeks, I felt like a new person! My energy levels are up, the brain fog and dizziness are gone, and I finally feel like myself again. The dietary changes made a huge difference, and I’ve learned to be much more mindful about how food affects my body. I’m so grateful for his help—thank you!

Insightful diagnosis
I suffered from what I thought were allergies; post nasal drip, persistent cough, even challenges swallowing for years. Miscellaneous antihistamines had only a marginal benefit. My PCP recommended Dr. Kelkar and in about 10 minutes of reviewing my story, he told me he didn't think I had any allergies, but that my problem was silent, not acid, reflux; something I'd never heard of... But the restricted diet he recommended has been a miracle cure! Now I'm in control of my symptoms and food and drink choices. He is empathetic, a good listener, and even has a fun sense of humor. I only wish I'd pushed for this referral much sooner! Highly recommend Dr. Kelkar and his support staff.

Dr Kelkar changed my life with his suggestion of allergy shots. I don’t suffer through spring anymore and it’s all thanks to Dr Kelkar. He’s thorough, compassionate and very easy to talk to.

Chronic Cough with postnasal drip
Telehealth
I was referred to Dr. Kelkar by my family physician. Dr. Kelkar began with bloodwork, chest x-ray, and a clean eating diet with Probiotics for Men.As titled, Chronic Cough is recurring with worsening effects and worsening fatigue. Dr. Kelkar's aggressive approach is historically unmatched in my case. He listened to me and his treatment lessened my debilitating cough and congestion. He also put me on a path of partnering with other physicians who are developing a long-term treatment plan. Dr. Kelkar's treatment continues to aggressively address inflammation and my quality of life has improved dramatically.

Excellent comprehensive care
Telehealth
I saw Dr. Kelker for hives and itching. I was impressed that he took a very thorough medical history and we talked about social aspects surrounding my worsened hives. He gave me several pharmaceutical options to get the hives under control, but more importantly he recommended a number of lifestyle changes and supplements for me. Together, these made a huge difference in my hives and itching. It is rare to find a provider who approaches a medical problem in such a wholistic way. Highly recommend.

Great Allergy Doctor
I have seen several other allergy doctors over the years, but Dr. Pramod S. Kelkar is by far the best allergy doctor I have seen. After the skin tests a year ago, he asked me a lot of questions and I felt I got a customized plan that worked for me. As we go into spring this year, I know I am much more prepared. I highly recommend Dr. Kelkar for your personalized allergy prevention needs!

Very thorough and willing to listen
Dr. Kelkar took the time to listen to me and what I was experiencing with my recent episodes of Angioedema and hives. He was extremely thorough in his explainations and his plan of care. Dr. Kelkar used a mix of approaches for my plan of care, and I especially appreciated the Holistic approach that was offered. He suggested the use of dietary adjustments, breathing techniques, stress reduction, and supplements that would benefit my current situation. He explained the rational behind each of the suggested changes, which was extremely helpful for me to understand the why behind what changes I was making. I would recommend Dr. Kelkar to all my friends and family for any future needs!

Great Physician with Holistic Approach
Dr. Kelkar was a great doctor. He listened well, discussed a plan and followed up with me. What I loved about him was his holistic approach. He didn't just prescribe lots of medicine and tests. He did some medicine but also suggested really good vitamins and supplements, breathing techniques, stress reduction and dietary adjustments I could make. My recurrent hives are gone and I also lost a few pounds! I really appreciated his approach. He is kind and easy to talk to as well! I would 100% recommend!

Dr. Pramod Kelkar was thoughtful, caring and thoroughly reviewed my medical history. He authorized tests and evaluated the results to assess a path forward.

Dr Kelkar provides wholistic allergy care.
I had sufferred for months with extreme flem production and severe coughing. Dr. Kelkar tested and identified my allergies. He prescribed medicine to alliviate my symptoms.Developed an environmental remediation treatment plan. He went a step further and asked me to eliminate flem producing foods from my diet for 30 days. I learned that diet was fundamental to treating my allergies. Two months later I am flem and medicine free. Occasionally, need a Clariton pill when I travel to hotels and other homes. He made further recommendations of easy lifestyle changes. An exceptional Allergist who cares enough to treat his patients mind, body. and spirit.

Dr. Kelkar is excellent!
My family has been seeing Dr. Kelkar for several years for allergies and immunotherapy. He is always so knowledgeable, kind and willing to take the time to answer all of our questions. He follows up with us whenever there is a concern or question, and we never feel rushed at our appointments. We are better able to manage our food allergies since we began seeing him, and we have seen great improvement in not only our allergies, but our overall health and quality of life as a result. Dr. Kelkar is wonderful!

Excellent Allergist
I have had serious allergies for over 35 years and switched to Dr. Kelkar about 4 year ago. My previous allergist that I used for over 10 years was unable to give me significant relief and I had several sinus infections that kept me on antibiotics for months to relieve. Since using Dr. Kelkar, I have to had a serious sinus infection and have had a significant improvement in my condition. He offers both medical and non-medical interventions. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing allergy relief.

I have a clear path forward, and my cough is gone!
I was referred to Dr. Kelkar for an ongoing cough that had persisted several months. He prescribed me to short term medications including an antibiotic, an inhaler, a nasal spray and recommended allergy testing. After less than a month I am cough free and I have a clear picture of action steps to continue sustaining better health. I appreciated his approach. He really knows his stuff and I felt like he treated me for my individual situation. He was confident in his knowledge and wrote out specific instructions for me to follow. Dr. Kelkar was personable and didn't make me feel like I was being talked down to. I'm grateful to have found him and have already been recommending him to family and friends.
