I had been suffering from sinus infection after sinus infection. I was missing a lot of work, always tired and never had any energy. I visited Gail Shapiro after finding her on a best doctor's list and she really is. While I've always felt that other doctors just thought my symptoms were psychosomatic or something because I'm not sneezing all the time, Dr. Shapiro took my illness seriously - and uncovered through scratch tests that I'm allergic to almost everything. She has continued to refine my treatment and now I sleep through the night and I'm not sick nearly so much. Everyone I've dealt with in both the Seattle and Redmond offices has been very knowledgeable and pleasant.
The one thing I think they might want to consider is adding some alternative care. While I wasn't discouraged from seeing an acupuncturist, I wasn't encouraged either. My acupuncturist (Dr. Amy Chen) told me to stop eating dairy, sugar and nuts and while that has been hard, it's also been an important part of the puzzle in helping me feel better.
