5 Stars: Life is good! (by by Caddyshack1 at Citysearch)

by Caddyshack1 at Citysearch — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 06:00:00 GMT

I love golfing and love spending time with my dogs. Unfortunately I was terribly allergic to grass and the same for dogs. None of which I was giving up in my lifetime.

Well, it wasn't until I was treated by both Dr Jackson and Dr Chacko, that the quality of my life improved. Although my golf game has not improved, I can now enjoy golfing and my dogs without all the consuming symptoms.

Dr Chacko and Cathy have me on a bi-monthy allergy injection plan and it's working wonders. Cathy's human touch seems contagious in the office and the overall service is just flawless. This office totally gets it in every way.

5 Stars: Super Helpful (by by rfdk8 at Citysearch)

Doubtful many other organizations would be willing to go to the lengths that these guys have for me.

A life-long allergy sufferer, I started the injection regiment and am looking forward to the day when spring tree pollen doesn't force me to hibernate indoors for several weeks. But my work schedule is very difficult, changing hours and locations on a regular basis. Sometimes I even spend several months at a time outside of the Atlanta area, and thanks to the dedication of Dr. Chacko's helpful staff Cathy, Emily, and Cynthia, I have been able to stay on schedule with my injections no matter what my work situation has been. Without their flexible assistance, I would not have been able to stay on the program, and I thank them greatly for it!

I've known Dr.Chacko for years and he's been great in helping me with any issues with allergies or asthma. I've called him once when i was in my honeymoon in puerto rico to help call in antibiotics and he helped me right away. Would definitely trust him as your doc. I find him to be highly professional, knowleadgable, and fantastic.

5 Stars: Dr. Chacko's the best (by by jmakil at Citysearch)

I've known Dr. Chacko for sometime now and he's always helped me with my allergies. He always attentive and gets back to me right away (even give his email address and responds quickly). Also, he tries his best to be concerned with my finances (few doctors do) and gives me free samples if i need them. Quality doc.

5 Stars: Thanks from our daughter! (by by majik at Citysearch)

by majik at Citysearch — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 22:02:00 GMT

We accidentally found out our daughter had a peanut allergy at age 1 when she had some Thai food. Since then we have been very aware of foods and activities that she can be involved in but even an increased awareness sometimes doesn't give a parent peace of mind regarding the possibility of an adverse event. We met with Dr. Chacko to discuss her condition, and even though there are virtually no options to treat her allergy, he was able to offer us tips, tricks, and advice to avoid future complications as a result of her peanut allergy. His thoroughness, professionalism, and expert advice definitely offered us some reassurance regarding her allergy. Thank you Northside Allergy!

5 Stars: Finally I can breathe (by by martybrinton1 at Citysearch)

by martybrinton1 at Citysearch — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:17:00 GMT

I have had allergies since I was 5 years old. I have had allergy shots from age 5 to 15 and it helped, but never REALLY helped with the Fall and Spring seasons when I got hammered (in bed) for 7-10 days when everything starting blooming and when the leaves fell.

I had deviated septum surgery to fix the narrow nasal passages in my nose October 2007 performed by Dr. Keith Jackson from the same practice Dr Chacko belongs to. I was very impressed with the results and the surgery went so well that I decided to attack my lifelong allergy problem after Dr. Jackson said Dr. Chacko could help.

In Oct 2007, Dr. Chacko administered RUSH allergy immunization therapy that drastically shortened the time needed to make Allergy shot immunization therapy effective.

In March 2008, after nearly 30 years of life, I enjoyed my first spring without being sick as a result of pollen and other allergins filling the air in Atlanta. I am so glad I took the plung and tried allergy shot therapy. Two thumbs up to Dr. Chacko and his trusty sidekick Kathy

4 Stars: medication adjustment (by by stacey99 at Citysearch)

by stacey99 at Citysearch — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 01:18:00 GMT

I've had asthma since I was a kid, and I always go to Northside for my annual check up. I also book appointments here to get my inhaler adjusted. The staff is very patient and I always get good care from the doctors. I just don't like the long wait at hospitals.

5 Stars: amazed by the staff's patience (by by lbuford115 at Citysearch)

by lbuford115 at Citysearch — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:52:00 GMT

My daughter is allergic to dust, so I always have to make sure that she's not exposed to it. However, I can't always control her environment, and I've spent many a time waiting in Northside's waiting room to get treatment. I'm always amazed by the patience of the staff here.

5 Stars: Caring and Cutting Edge (by by stevem1 at Citysearch)

by stevem1 at Citysearch — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 13:27:00 GMT

I had severe asthma when I first saw Dr. Chacko, and he methodically tried every medication and procedure that the medical research suggested would help. The last one has seemed like a miracle cure! After missing over six weeks of work last year, I feel like a new person, not wondering each day if I will be able to make the stairs in my house without stopping to rest. His relentless search for an answer has given me back a normal life

5 Stars: Best Allergy Doctor Ever (by by falkonp at Citysearch)

by falkonp at Citysearch — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:40:00 GMT

I waited a couple of months for him to start working at Northside Allergy. It was worth it! I had to have two sinus surgeries but now that I have started getting allergy shots from Dr. Chacko I haven't had any more infections. I drive by several other allergy doctors but like Dr Chacko and his nurses so much that I wouldn't go to anyone else. They are always friendly and don't run behind schedule. I look forward to getting my shots because they make me feel so better. And rarely do they hurt.

5 Stars: Great Doctor and Staff (by by gsebastian1 at Citysearch)

by gsebastian1 at Citysearch — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 04:43:00 GMT

Dr. Chacko is my Son's as well as my allergist. He has done a tremendous amount to help us understand and treat our allergies and improve our overall health. His bedside manner along with a genuine interest and care in making sure that his patients are treated with the utmost attention in obtaining positive results is just remarkable. To top it all off, where else do you find a doctor these days who is willling to provide a number and his email adress to his patients AND ACTUALLY RESPOND PERSONALLY when you need him? I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone. We are very thankful and grateful for him and his staff for all that they have done and continue to do for our family.

5 Stars: Amazing allergist (by by lashun2222 at Citysearch)

by lashun2222 at Citysearch — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 04:19:00 GMT

One year later after sinus surgery and two other consults with other Allergist, my son was still having problems with breathing, snoring and other asthma problems. After meeting with the amazing Dr. Chacko, I am glad to say that all of my son's allergy & asthma symptoms are now better. Thanks to Dr. Chacko and his medical staff.

Struggling with a teenage son who can sometime be non-compliant, Dr. Chacko has made an impression on him with his health as well as his school work

5 Stars: great allergist (by by bmt22 at Citysearch)

by bmt22 at Citysearch — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 02:24:00 GMT

I went to see Dr. Chacko when my son was 4 years old for a chronic cough that he was experiencing. He was extremely helpful in explaining the cause and after testing for various allergies, he found a few things that may have triggered his cough. His bedside manners are extraordinary and his outgoing personality is one of a kind. He truly cares about his patients and his nurse (Cathy) is one of a kind. Dr. Chacko is very thorough and is one of the very few physicians that knows his patients and gives each one individualized attention. He is willing to work with your schedule and has been ever so accommodating to all my questions and concerns. He is very accessible anytime I have follow up questions, which is a rarity these days. He provides excellent care with a personal touch and is very good with kids. I would highly recommend him to anyone

4 Stars: goodbye allergic breakouts (by by KingMichael at Citysearch)

by KingMichael at Citysearch — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 09:45:00 GMT

northside allergy has been a godsend when it comes to helping me get rid of my allergies, which can blow up in the most inconvenient times. yes, i have to keep the medication on me (which i forget to do sometimes), but i have to say it's worth the trade off.

4 Stars: very nice doctor (by by thudson210 at Citysearch)

by thudson210 at Citysearch — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 21:42:00 GMT

i saw dr. chacko when i had some problems with my asthma getting worse. he prescribed some medication for me and took the time to listen to what my symptoms were. the session was over quickly but i felt it was very thorough, judging from the number of questions he asked.

4 Stars: i'm cured and i'm glad (by by joey219 at Citysearch)

by joey219 at Citysearch — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 21:03:00 GMT

rhinitis is definitely not a joke. For someone who's been suffering from this illness, it can pose a lot of inconvenience and can even take over your life if you let it. A friend recommended that I go to Northside Allergy to get it checked out, and thank God I did. I finally found a way to get rid of rhinitis.

4 Stars: allergic to seafood (by by rishaadams at Citysearch)

by rishaadams at Citysearch — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 22:04:00 GMT

i'm allergic to most seafood and have to watch what I eat. If not, i start to swell up and end up with itchy red spots all over. When I went to Northside, i was given a prescription for antihistamines. Now I can eat small portions without worrying about looking like i've gotten measles.

5 Stars: allergies are a thing of the past (by by nicole30stein at Citysearch)

by nicole30stein at Citysearch — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:03:00 GMT

I've had the bad luck of always getting allergies. With proper medication and some advice from Northside, I feel a lot better and haven't had an outbreak since I visted them in Atlanta. Here's to hoping my streak will last.

by ahoward55 at Citysearch — Fri, 28 May 2010 19:48:00 GMT

I lead a very active lifestyle, and having allergies does not fit the professional image I want to project. Thanks to Northside ENT, my allergies have not bothered me for almost 3 months now. Everytime I feel an attack coming on, I go straight to Northside to help me manage it.

I have a 7 year old, Tommy, who suffers from asthma. Northside Allergy has been great. They explain the situation to Tommy so he knows why he has to take his meds. The staff is very open and very friendly.
