I was given a standard panel of 65 common allergens. However, I had explained that I needed tests for insect bites and for wildflower plants. Only ant bites were on the standard panel.

Dr Kobernick is a good doctor with a terrific rapport with people; not only his patients, but with his staff as well. I was asked about any other health issues, and after expressing concern about a breathing issue, they gave me a lung capacity test and ended up prescribing an inhaler. This is the first time this concern of mine hasn't been dismissed .

I was impressed in the time he took talk to me about my daughter's eczema and all of the steroid treatments available. I was concerned about continued use of steroid ointment and he really flushed that all out with me. It was a shock to learn that her skin test confirmed 6 food allergies for her. In that shock, all I really remember was the provider telling us to avoid them and that he was prescribing an EpiPen. When my son was diagnosed with an egg allergy, a dietician came in and spent a very long time explaining food alternatives, diet considerations to replace what he wouldn't be getting from the egg, we were shoed how to use the EpiPen, etc. There was NONE of that at this appointment. Just because we're already in the allergy world with our son doesn't mean we're up to speed on everything. His allergy is almost fully outgrown and an EpiPen has never been a concern/allergy was never that serious. Our daughter's allergy is more severe and her diet limits are greater. More counsel was needed. I would've rather he spent less time explaining eczema and more time refreshing us of all the precautions we need to take.

As part of the medical team of the U, I can be a tough critic. But, I was thoroughly blown away by the courtesy, the discussion and the approach Dr. K. took with me. He listened, he took his time and made me feel valid for being there (we ER folk don't like being patients). He is a true doctor, and has his patients best interest at heart. I will recommend him to everyone. He is a provider with true focus, patient centeredness and compassion.

I was referred to Dr Kobernick after 3 visits with 2 dermatologists for an uncomfortable and worsening rash on my face and neck. I think the expectation was that he would help identify allergenic triggers for the rash. Instead, he was wonderfully informative, helped me reset my expectations from cure to chronic condition management, offered an array of interventions for use on good and bad days. We agreed there was no indication for allergy testing, no quick solution to the problem, and I left feeling understood, well informed and equipped to deal with flares and remissions. He understood what I was looking for. I appreciated his kindness and the time he took with me.

I also appreciated the extra reading material he printed for me to research treatment options after our visit. He was very friendly and gentle with my son (the patient) and very empathetic to me in delivering a potentially shocking diagnosis. He checked in with me several times throughout the visit to make sure I wasn't too traunatized.
