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.

Rude. Doesn't explain allergies in detail. Unfortunately it's hard to speak your concerns with him as he can be dismissive. He laughed when I asked for a specific test as he thought it was all in my head... turned out that it wasn't because the test came back positive for the allergy.

I went to another Amherst allergist, where a skin test determined a small number of allergies. I received a 2nd opinion from Dr. Cumella's office. The test was more inclusive and found a myriad of substances that have been wreaking havoc on my immune system for years. I'm half-way through my immunotherapy and have confidence that this will not cure my allergies, but diminish them to a level that is tolerable. The free samples provided by staff (nasal sprays, etc.) cuts down on expenses.

Bedside manners rude. Hard to ask a question and acts like dictator. Not comfortable with him.
