No one believed that I had food allergies until I visited Dr. Gordon Sussman. Thank you!

I just started seeing Dr. Sussman for chronic hives (and am happy to read other comments of people being successfully treated for them). I went with absolutely no expectations, considering my GP is a complete waste of time. After various visits to my GP and responses such as, ‘you’ll get over it’, and ‘just deal with it’, I had pretty much given up. I actually had to argue with him just to give me a referall to Dr. Sussman. I found Dr. Sussman to be very knowledgable and reassuring. I’m still in the process of being treated, but I’m finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. And yes, his office is a little dated, but I would take that any day over doctors that don’t care or listen.

Dr. Sussman spent a lot of time taking personal calls in my presence. He seemed more interested, too, in solving the medical puzzle of my allergy history and some contradictory RAST and skin prick results – eventually telling me that I had oral allergy syndrome and not latex allergy as diagnosed by another doctor – than he did in explaining what it meant and how to deal with it. Once he had his “aha” moment, he handed me a useless sheet describing oral allergy syndrome and asked if he could save my blood for future research. He did not seem particularly empathetic or concerned about how this oral allergy syndrome was affecting my quality of life. He offered no reassurance. He also told me that Benadryl is “nothing more than a sedative” but did not offer a better suggestion. (Nor did he offer an explanation for why it had always been helpful to me over some 40 years of dealing with multiple allergies.) I don’t doubt that he is knowledgeable, but I have no intention of returning to him.

Yep, Dr. Sussman is very ‘old school’ and a little eccentric but he SURE knows his stuff. Made sure I knew how to use an epipen, and encouraged and monitored me through (sometimes) brutal venom immunity therapy. If you’re looking for sympathy and a shoulder to cry on, he’s not your guy–however, if you’re looking for results, there’s no one better. I have complete trust in his abilities and am thankful my GP recommended him to me.

One word would describe this doctor “MIRACLE WORKER” after seeing 2 other allergist and suffering for 4 years of allergies he diagnosed my issue in 5 minutes and I am back to normal with “NO ALLERGIES”. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Amazing Doctor!!…………..T Carrera

I have been visiting Dr. Sussman for my son’s food & environmental allergies. I find him extremely insensitive and impatient. He is good at making a diagnosis but is absolutely horrible to deal with..he blatantly ignores your questions & rushes you out the door!
