Staff is fine and Dr Blake Thompson is excellent. The problem is trying to get through administratively. Really poor.

I have to start out by commending the team that I had the privilege of working with today! Starting…read morewith Amy at the reception desk, she was polite, open, great sense of humor, and very caring. She made me feel very welcomed and as if I was the most important person that she was going to see that day. Next I had the privilege of working with Quan. I cannot begin to express her customer centered approach to the testing modalities that she had to do with me. She was most patient, friendly, understanding, and was able to explain the process thoroughly and in a way that was not talking down to me but rather in a manner that I would be able to understand. I was most impressed with the care she displayed. Now to Dr. Katz. I do not think I have ever met a more compassionate doctor! He was extremely approachable, knowledgeable, patient, and truly demonstrated an invested interest in me as a patient. Not once did he look at his watch kept open body language and was able to answer questions. His office staff ran on time, clean, and practice universal precautions. I cannot recommend this practice enough, I wish I could gift 10 stars! Thank you Amy , Quan, and Dr. Katz!

I'm absolutely pleased with this place. I have major issues (ongoing battle) with allergies. I've…read morebeen to 2 other Dr's here in Jax after I moved here and It's sad we celebrate and are astonished when we get good care from a medical providers.. Stephanie was outstanding with her bedside manner, her attentiveness, care, attention to my needs and listening while also asking important follow up questions which showed me she wasn't just checking the box or running through the motions. She didn't try to get me for my money like other Dr's do. In fact she tried to help me not spend as much on the visit while still tending to my needs. I then went back for a follow up today and the Dr. Himself attended me this time and he too was great. I'm so happy I found this place. I fully recommend.

BEWARE. I tried to report this place to OSHA, however, it is still in the proceeding steps. I would…read morenot recommend this place to anybody. 1. The medical professional working with me, had a sharps container that did not have a lid on it and was very very full to the point of hazard. 2. The professional working with me, dropped a pen inside of the open sharps container that did not have a lid on it. She reached and grabbed the pen out of the sharps container and set it on a " sterile tray" that was holding all of the equipment and supplies for the procedure I was about to have done. 3. The professionals were giving allergy shots through a window that was between a treatment room and the waiting room. They frequently were leaving vials and syringes preloaded and unattended within reach of all people in the waiting room. 4. The professionals left their computers unattended with personal medical information breaking HIPAA. The computer screens did not have privacy screens on them and were left in view of people in the waiting room. 5. The medical professionals were asking medically sensitive questions inside of a patient room that led into the waiting room (previously stated open window leading to the waiting room), which is also in violation of HIPAA. 6. After they performed the allergen pricks, they would send you back to the waiting room -- not supervising you to see if you have an allergic reaction. This is extremely unsafe in the instance that someone does have a severe allergic reaction that is not caught in time.

My mother recommended this place to me after she found out she was allergic to more environmental…read morethings than what a blood test revealed. And after my last 2 recent sinus and nasal attacks not caused but what I already knew I was allergic to, it was time to get to the bottom of this. Their new patient procedure was pretty easy. They take the basics over the phone and will even call your insurance company to find out what you are covered for and let you know before you even go to your appointment. They also have a patient portal online to fill out questionnaires ahead of time. The place wasn't that hard to find as Mom described it as "next to the place where the people are protesting the abortion clinic everyday on University". Unfortunately I knew exactly where it was as I drive by there often. The place was clean and didn't have a clinic-y feel to it. The waiting area even had a separate space for children with a tv. The receptionist was very friendly and got me signed-in quickly. No less than 5 minutes I was called back. The nurse checked all my vitals and not long after that the Dr. came in, Dr. Tharpe. Turns out we're the same age but he looks like he's straight outta college. Such a babyface doctor! We talked about my symptoms and he checked me out, noticing my constant sniffing, throat clearing, and swollen nasal passages. He definitely wanted to do an environmental allergy test. After both the skin prick test and the injection test I found out that I was allergic to way more things than I thought. The doctor recommended Nasacort every day during pollination seasons and even showed me how to spray it. I feel much better knowing what I know now thanks to this place.

I recently contacted this office hoping to schedule an appointment due to ongoing allergic…read morereactions, including hives and lip swelling, I am having almost everyday. Which could potentially become life-threatening. I wanted to see one of Jacksonville's top-rated allergists, as listed on Google, to help identify the cause of these reactions. However, when I called to book an appointment, I was informed that the office does not accept any Medicaid-based insurance plans. Which I completely understood however I was then told that because I have Medicaid active--even though I also have a separate employer-based Florida Blue insurance plan that I planned to use--they still would not be able to see me. What stood out most was that I was never even asked why I needed the appointment or what symptoms I was experiencing. The conversation never reached that point because the focus was entirely on insurance coverage. It's disheartening that access to care can be denied so quickly, especially when someone may be dealing with potentially serious allergic reactions and is seeking answers to the cause. While I understand that each practice has the right to set its own insurance policies, I advised the scheduling coordinator to bring this matter to the attention of whoever oversees such decisions, as this can easily be viewed as profiling. I'm not saying that was their intent, but it's important to recognize how such policies may come across--especially when patients are turned away solely because they have Medicaid active, regardless of their own private insurance.This experience raises ethical concerns. Although I will be seeking care elsewhere, I'm sharing this to help others be aware of these restrictions before scheduling, and in hopes that the practice reconsiders policies that may unintentionally limit access to medically needed care for patients regardless of low income coverage or dual coverage.

Each member is ALWAYS friendly, helpful, professional & all smiles. Over many years, Dr. Punja provided me (& my young son) w/ samples whenever he had them; I was often able to avoid filling prescriptions. Need to be seen quickly? He'll do whatever he can to fit you in. He is a generous, compassionate soul. Closed Friday thru Sunday, when open you'll often find his happy staff decorating the office for whatever holiday is near. There's a section in the waiting area for children-- complete w/ toys & books, & there's amble parking in the large lot. When I had bronchitis & my primary care physician was unavailable, Dr. Punja phoned in an RX for me w/in an hour. He's an incredible allergist w/ an excellent practice.

He is knowledgeable, an immunologist with 33 years of experience, kind, respectful, and a physician with the human component that most of the physicians have lost at the current time. In addition, his has an excellent staff. All of them were very nice, respectful, and willing to help. I feel short of words to express my gratitude to them.
