Dr. Thomas Chacko - Northside Allergy and Asthma

Awful aftercare. Heaven forbid you have a reaction after leaving the office. The emergency cell phone will not get answered and you will will be ignored. When you actually get a call back from the doctor you will be rushed off the phone. Even when he is in the office you won't be able to speak with him and then they will deny your reaction was from the allergens injected into your body. Which, causes (that's right) allergic reactions. Best to not go here or if you do, Be ready to inject yourself with Epipen and be 10-15 minutes away from an ER because these people don't care. more

Dr. Chacko is Great! Cathy is wonderful! Emily is awesome!!! more

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. more

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 more

I have been an allergy sufferer all of my life and have attempted immunotherapy twice, for a few years each time, with no real benefit. When a friend recommended Dr. Chacko, and raved about his approach, I was extremely skeptical. I suffer from year-round allergies, and was using Nasacort AQ prescription nose spray, Opcon-A eyedrops and Claritin daily. After several months with Dr. Chacko’s immunotherapy regiment I was able to stop using all allergy related medication. I highly recommend his approach and am thrilled that I no longer have to take medication to control my allergies. Along with being a stand-out in his field, Dr. Chacko is personable and compassionate, and his staff is wonderful. more

Allergy shots have truly changed my life! I used to get a sinus infection every month and lived on antibiotics. My ENT referred me to Dr. Chacko and my life has changed. I started getting allergy shots in November and am allergic to most everything. I have only had 1 sinus infection since last November - that's 1 infection in 10 months!! Dr. Chacko and allergy shots have truly given me back my quality of life! He is very professional with a great bedside manner. His staff, especially Kathy who administers the shots are terrific! I highly recommend Dr. Chacko and Northside ENT to anyone with allergies and sinus issues! It will take a lot of time commitment and the shots aren't the most fun, but it is well worth the results! more

Dr. Chacko was referred by my PCP and I could not be happier with the results! I have been seeing him and his staff now for over two years and my whole life has changed by the way I am feeling compared to before. I never knew my allergies could be affecting me so dramatically. I have endorsed him to my friends and am pleased to recommend him to anyone struggling with allergies. Nurse Cathy is a blessing as well! more

DR. Chacko has done a excellent job identifying my allergy problems and treatments to help me with them. He and his staff are friendly, courtesy, and from top to bottom excellent at their jobs. Dr. Chacko is the only Allergist, I have known even when you are just getting allergy shots to pop in and see how you are doing. He does the small things that shows you he has genuine concern for his patience. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a first rate allergist and person to be their doctor. more

Dr. Chacko is a great doctor. I was referred to Dr. Chacko by a friend and I was very skeptical about taking my son to another doctor to get another opinion. My son had a deep year round cough and he had the cough for so long I just didn't know where else to go. We found out that my son had allergies to different things and began the allergy shots along with a combination of asthma medication. I have seen such a change in my son that it is unbelievable. We are still doing allergy shots, but everything is getting better. My daughter had eczema and she also saw Dr. Chacko. We found out the allergies that she had that triggered the allergies and are able to avoid things now to keep her from having outbreaks. Dr. Chacko is the most pleasant doctor I have every seen. He is always smiling and knows each my son by name. Cathy and Cynthia are great as well. Everyone does everything to ensure that you are happy and comfortable on every single visit. I would refer him to anyone that has severe or even slight allergies. more

I was referred to Dr Chacko after a BAD experience with my prior ENT/Allergist. I have found Dr Chacko and his entire office staff to be professional & compassionate.

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! Pros: Wonderful bedside manners more

I am Dr. Chacko's first patient. 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. Pros: No more surgery Cons: Waiting 30 minutes after the shot. more

My son who is now 31 years of age has suffered most of his life with sneezing, sinus congestion and allergies. Dr. Chacko was highly recommended to me by another patient who brought there child in to be seen. They suffered with severe asthma and allergies. She stated that her child received excellent care. She also stated that after her child started receiving treatment by Dr. Chacko, she seen a significant change in their condition. I suggest to my son to go and see Dr.Chacko, which he did. My son having such a demanding job, which require him to travel allot, Dr.Chacko's scheduling staff work very hard to accommodate his schedule. He was very please with the professional greeting at the front desk check, along with the smiles and care that he received from Dr.Chacko's nurses Cathy and Cynthia. He was mostly impressed by the great bedside manor of Dr. Chacko. He said ""mom he really took time out and listened to me and my concerns. It wasn't one of those doctors office where you sit and wait for hours, then the doctor rushes in and rushes out. He really took allot of time with me"". After being tested and treated, my son feels 100% better. Since then, my son has brought my two grandchildren ages three and eleven to see Dr.Chacko. The three year old suffered with severe eczema and the eleven year old suffered with continuous sinus congestion, coughing and mild asthma. Both children were tested for allergies. Dr. Chacko found out that there were several things that my three year old granddaughter was allergic to that we never knew about and this was triggering her eczema. She is now doing so much better. He also found out that there were several environmental things the my eleven year old grandson was allergic to that was causing his problem. He is now being treated with allergy injections once a week. He too is doing much better. \r Oh My God! What a big difference I see in my son and both my grandchildren, no more suffering. \r Dr.Chacko thanks you so much for your loving and professional care!!
