West Houston Allergy & Asthma

Dr. Rihal has navigated us through seasonal allergies as well as food allergies. The staff are friendly and supportive.

Quick and knowledgeable ,no issues at all ,front desk very professional ,nurses too .

If you're looking at which allergist to go to for immunotherapy, I highly recommend this place especially over Kelsey Seybold.

I was looking for RUSH therapy (9 hours of shots) to speed up the process, but not a lot of local allergists did that. Dr. Rihal recommended cluster shot therapy which is less heavy on the immune system.

I almost went to Kelsey Seybold fort bend for shots and I'm glad I didn't.

Kelsey Seybold:
-No skin test if you have dermatographia. Used a limited 19 panel blood test even though there's a bigger panel for blood tests. (Not as accurate, showed I was more allergic to dogs than cats even though I have severe cat allergies and I have no symptoms with my pet dog).

-prescribed me epi-pen, famotidine, otc meds, and prednisone.

-wait 30mins after shot.

-compete for parking every time. And I end up not parking close.

-inflexible schedule and you have to go to a far campus for cluster therapy at 8am and schedule a month in advance. They also don't do cluster therapy very often (not very experienced).

West Houston Allergy:
-Could do a skin test even with dermatographia (prescribed prednisone) (more accurate results)

-less medication used. Prescribed me prednisone and otc medications.

-wait 20 mins after shot

-Parking in Richmond location is easy and quick to find a close one.

-flexible schedule. Cluster shots can be done in any location. Can schedule in the next week.

Overall, I'm glad I went with Dr. Rihal for immunotherapy shots.

Doctor Rihal, is extremely professional and very easy to work with also reacts very fast to an ongoing condition I am challenged with currently
I truly appreciate his help

Dr. Rihal is a great doctor. I have been his patient for many years and kept my asthma and seasonal allergy well-controlled. He explains everything in detail, and answers every question professionally. He helped me understand the symptoms and explained cause.

Also the place is professional and dust-free clean. Most chairs are blocked off, so each patients are 6 feet apart. Every patient as well the staff is required to wear a mask, so I feel very safe there during visit at these uncertain times of COVID. The staff are professional and prescription refills are hassle free.
