Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Decent allergy doctor
The doctor was able to diagnose my allergy problems and provide allergy shots. I do feel that the allergy shots are working. You do have to listen very closely when the doctor speaks, because he is an extremely fast talker.

Worst Experience, I’m shocked that Dr. Windom said to myself and my son while on a telehealth follow-up call that “I hope your cats die soon, and then you won’t replace them”. I wish I was making this up, it left my son in tears! Find allergy help elsewhere!

He rushed the whole visit, argued with me about what I’ve had for years and just needed treatment and continued to say he could not do any kind of allergy testing and that I just need to sit through the reactions. Mind you I have Steven Johnson’s disease which is serious. So I went to another allergist and she confirmed that I did in fact have Steven Johnson’s.

Arrogant, condescending doctor. I regret taking my chil to see this man. His arrogance prevents him from treating a patient. One of the worst experiences in my life, he got very loud telling me my child “was cured” and didn’t have allergies (going by old test and not having current information in front of him). When I pointed that he needed to get current labs first instead of talking to me that way, he started contradicting himself in order to be right. Later proceeded to break a tongue depressor and scratched my child’s arm (very hard that he broke skin) then stated all my child had is “dermatographia”. Only by the force he used scratching the arm! I am seriously appalled that IU let that happen to my child. Please, stay away from this office or at least him, if you want to resolve your health concerns. There are far better providers in town.

Awful experience. I went to Dr Windom because I suffer every year from bad allergies. I was hoping to find out specifically what pollen it was that was affecting me, so I could better prepare myself when that "season" would come around. At first, the nurse started to say I was allergic to something but then consulted the Doctor. Dr Windom met with me and then told me that I was not allergic to ANYTHING. I guess it's all my imagination then. The series of shots on my upper arm several blew up and did not heal for over a MONTH... but I'm not allergic to anything. This cost me money! I will pay to have another test done, by a more reputable and or reliable and honest doctor. I would like to know specifically what pollen is causing me issues since it seems to have gotten worse and also get some advice as to how to what I can do to relieve the symptoms when they do come up... for example, I know people who actually get a shot. I would strongly suggest you find another Dr. to go to.

I went to this doctor for treatment of an ongoing chronic cough diagnosed previously as asthma by an excellent physician in NJ. I was prescribed Symbicort. Dr. Windom decided I do not have asthma, which I have no problem with. He took me off the Symbicort. But, I am still coughing and not being treated which is why I went to him in the first place. I am very dissatisfied.

Went there for Oral Immune therapy for my sons peanut/tree nut allergy. Great staff. Wendy (his OIT nurse) is fantastic. Dr. Windom took time with us and made sure all our questions were answered. We drive 2 1/2 hours to get this therapy from his office. They are amazing

My only dissatisfaction is with the office staff not being on the same page for billing. I went to check out & was told my balance was much higher than what I was told the previous visit. Check out staff member went to ofc mgr for clarification & my lower balance was correct. I wanted to pay balance & told her that but she only ran my co-pay thru credit card machine. Also, I have not received a statement of any kind from Windom Allergy in over 7 - 8 months.

Dr. Windom and his staff has been great in treating my son allergy in the past and more so now. We moved into another county and sorted new allergy doctor but got the run-around concerning treatment and care. I do not have an issue with making the 1 hour and 30 minutes trip to see Dr. Windom. If I need to contact him during after hours, Dr. Windom return our calls and he even call the pharmacy without any issues. I would recommed his office to my family and friends.
