We are experiencing an epidemic of children with peanut allergy, and according to recent studies the incidence of peanut allergy has quadrupled in the past 13 years! Interestingly, this increased incidence is not seen in all countries. One observation was that countries that encouraged infants to eat peanut products in infancy noted that the incidence of peanut allergy was considerably less than in countries that like the U.S. that advised holding off on exposing at risk children to peanuts and tree nuts until they were at least 3 years old.
Climate change is driven by increased levels of carbon dioxide and pollutants in the atmosphere. Thinking back to your grade school biology, you may remember that we breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, but plants do the opposite. Plants use the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to "breathe" and release oxygen as a by-product of their metabolism.

Dr. Piccalo and staff are so kind and professional. We took allergy test everything came out fine which was a relief but was told during allergy season to come back if I wasnt feeling well. My children and I were given emergency inhalers and was glad not to be put on so much medications. So far we feel fine and have had no flares up as we had in previous care from other doctor we went to. i would recommend this office because they actually listen to patient and give medication as needed.

I've never had a better experience in a doctor's office. The office staff, nurse, and doctor were unbelievably on top of things. Aside from being generally on time, kind, and polite, the nurse and doctor went out of their way to make sure that I understood my diagnosis and even provided typed up notes from the session. I've grown so used to being disappointed by doctor's offices that it never occurred to me that an excellent experience was even possible.

I do not recommend this place at all. Took my toddler son in for an allergy test. They sent him for blood work which was fine. The lack of communication is appalling. They received the blood work, two days later I call about it and get told they will call me next week. No call. I left 1 messages to call me and nothing. I call back two weeks after they get the results and leave a message and nothing.
I call the next day and am told oh the nurse left you a message, well it was not on my phone. The panel they did came up negative, they could have called lab to see if there was enough blood for another panel but they clearly did not as that has to be done fairly quickly. I don't think anyone would have called me back if I didn't call them.

I been seeing Doctor Arthur Fost since I was 2 and I actually remember his dad also he was treating me at the end of his career. Doctor Fost is the best doctor he has helped me in every way above and beyond what any doctor would do. Now David Fost is following his career and has grown to be exceptional also. I highly recommend there practice year after year to everyone I come upon that suffers from asthma and allergies

I have chronic sinusitis and wanted to go deeper to see if it was allergy related. I used a FB search on the Montclair Watercooler for an allergist as mine didn't do the blood work. Saw rave reviews for Dr. Fost, and booked an appointment. The office is very welcoming and their art work speaks to the heart on so many levels. As a new patient, I was welcomed, and my nurse and Dr. Fost walked me through the rounds of updated allergy testing that we would be doing, along with the request for further blood work.
He ended up finding allergies I wasn't aware of, and prescribing something that is definitely addressing the sinusitis issues. When I mentioned I will be going for a cat scan for my sinuses, he asked me to make sure they get the results. Additionally when I mentioned I have a mom with Alzheimer's he didn't miss a beat talking about the latest information on Biogen's drug. I found the nurse incredibly forthcoming about her practices and reassuring. Definitely happy to have found the practice and have recommended them to friends.

We have been using this office since 2010. We absolutely love Dr. Arthur Fost, Dr. Dave. Fost and their entire staff of doctors and nurses. They are friendly, helpful and they're always accommodating when I call for an appointment. My children love both Dr. Dave and Dr. Arthur Fost - they are always warm & friendly and joke around with them, to make them feel at ease and comfortable. I always recommend this office to family/friends who are in need of an allergy doctor. They have my complete trust.

This was a great place. All the staff are nice and awesome. However, we had appointment with Dr. Fost. His assistants were great; They have done a great job. We stayed there one and a half hour but did not even see the doctor. That's totally shame. I have appointment with doctor and I did not even see him. :( I would not recommend it because, if a doctor does not stop by (or care to) say hi to patient. It is not worthed. :(

I will never go there again. I went there with my 1.5 year old son. The receptionist was awfully mean, made me wait 40 min past my appointment knowing I have a small child. The toys in the office waiting area are broken and are a pure hazard for any child. I am shocked that my son did not leave the place with more injuries as he cut his finger on a broken basket.
The staff interrupted my appointment. Bottom line is, be respectful, give people their time one on one with the doctor. I do not recommend this place to anyone with a small child. I regret I took my baby there. He hated every minute of being there. The doctor himself was just ok.

Kathy answered the phone politely, their site states they are able to usually schedule you the same day. As I explained I needed a same day appointment I was told they are not able to give me a same day appointment. My daughter has had hives on her body for 2 days and counting and the search is on for a doctor or doctors that care about patients and not numbers. In the future please abide with what your site says or just remove the statement from your site.

I have to say, the receptionists and staff here were WONDERFUL. The treatment I received from the doctors and a select nurse was less than desirable. I started going to this practice as a young child because my mom was also a patient there. Having basically grown up there you would think that they would be caring to my needs, but I did not feel like that.
My allergies had grown severely worse, I often complained about it to the nurses, made an appointment with the doctor and told him as well, but they didn't seem to offer any solutions other than "use your nose sprays." Being almost to the point of tears in the office, I was still continuously told the same thing. It got so bad, to the point where I could barely breathe, so I went to a different allergist and discovered that I was suffering from severe asthma as a result of my allergies.
The new allergist also found two undiscovered allergies that I am now being treated for which were contributing to my asthma. After asking Allergy Consultants to send over my information to my new allergist, they took weeks and did not send the appropriate information over, causing me to have to start my shot regimen over again. I would not recommend this practice as the level of care they gave me was harmful to my health, even after being a long time/veteran patient.
