Review & Rating
THE CHALLENGE, A wonderful experience!! Great doctor and staff!! Have not had shellfish in 40 years!! I was apprehensive but felt relaxed in the steps taken to see if I was allergic to iodine. Basically three steps to the challenge , first eat 1/2 of shrimp wait 15 min then one whole shrimp wait 1/2 hour THEN ten shrimp wait one hour. Yeah!!! I passed the challenge.
My 3 yr old son came into the office for a peanut challenge. He had never had peanuts, but the skin test showed he had a peanut allergy. After eating peanut m&m's and peanut butter crackers he showed no signs of an allergy. He did eat eggs as an infant and broke out with hives on his face. He had an egg challenge at age 3 and had no reaction to the eggs. If Dr. Chacko recommends a food challenge, give it a try. I was nervous as to what reaction my son might have, however without the food challenges, we never would have known our son was no longer allergic to eggs and was apparently never allergic to peanuts.
When I first came I couldn't walk from my house to the car I would be out of breath. My husband recommend Dr. Chacko and I can breathe again I can exercise play football with my grandsons. Awesome Dr. And staff thank you, Dr Chacko
I visited Dr. Thomas Chacko at the Suwanee location and I am very happy with my decision. He is super knowledgeable and has great bedside manners. His staff in addition are very sweet! The entire team genuinely cares about their patients. I have been suffering with pollen allergies for years. After taking shots this year, I could already see the difference and was able to actually go outside without being so miserable. I would highly recommend Dr. Chacko and his team!
He is a great doctor. Very knowledgeable and compassionate. He took the time to see me even though I arrived late. The staff is excellent and helpful.
My daughter ate peanuts and almonds for the first time! Dr. Chacko gave great care and helped her get over her fear of other nuts she wasn’t allergic to. Now we feel confident eating out knowing she will be ok!
Big thanks to Dr. Chacko! I thought I was allergic to shellfish so I went in, got pricked, and tested negative. I got some blood work done that also came back negative so I ended up doing a “challenge”. I got some some shrimp and lobster and ate it in the office, under supervision of course. I wasn’t worried about my own safety after the great service I received in prior visits. After two hours and no reaction they sent me on my way, it turns out I just had some bad meat. Can’t speak highly enough about the experience.
Dr. Chacko is an exceptional doctor, no halo effect, down to earth and makes you feel at home and instills a great confidence right away that you are in a very familiar environment and safe hands. Always available and goes out of his way to even talk to you over the phone when you need him to help you out. Very kind and patiently listens to your questions and tries to answer in simple terms and advices against unnecessary tests/procedures. His office @ Northside is very conveniently located with kind and friendly staff. I have been treated here for CIU for over 5 months now and feeling a lot better, I was very scared initially with the symptoms and thanks to Dr.Chacko, in a couple of visits he instilled so much confidence that enabled me to face this prolonged agony.
My two year old son has done several food challenges (all on different days) with Dr. Chacko for peanuts, egg and dairy. The staff has been wonderful walking us through everything and taking it step by step to make sure he was clear to ingest each food. Now he’s able to have dairy and eggs and we are slowly introducing peanuts at home which is a huge relief.
My wife and I have been avoiding giving our 5 year old any type of nuts because we were told in the past that our daughter had a nut allergy. After meeting with Dr. Chacko we are now realizing that the Doctors that diagnosed in the past were incorrect. She had her first Peanut Challenge today and everything went great. My 5 year old can now enjoy many of the foods/snacks we were avoiding in the past. Dr. Chacko and the staff were great!
