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.

Doctor Vicksman is the ABSOLUTE best! As well as his staff! He has my allergies and my dry skin issues under control. I have had these issues for years which were never diagnosed. Dr. Vicksman diagnosed and addressed them from my first visit. I highly recommend Allergy Affiliates and Dr. Vicksman.

Dr. Viksman was wonderful. My first appointment was a telehealth. He spent almost an hour with me at the end of the evening. How many doctors can you say do that anymore? At my appointment in the office, he was very easy to talk to, very professional and unwavering in his plight to help me. His staff is just as great and I would definitely recommend him and his team! Thank you Dr!

Sinus problem
Before going to Dr Viksman my sinuses would clog up to the point I couldn't breath. After a few visits Dr Viksman gave me a script for nasal sprays and I haven't had the problem again.

A True Healer
All the reviews you have read so far afw true of Dr. Vicksman. He is patient, thorough and gets to the root cause of your issue. He does not push medication and in fact reduces it whenever possible. He’s been a life savor for my son who was suffering from an onset of new allergies when moving to another state during college. We were at our wits end seeing pulmonologists, ENT’s and Allergists for an ongoing cough and respitory issues. Dr Vickman did a thoughtful blood screening, checked his immune system and figured out the underlying cause. My son is doing great now, thanks to this Dr.

Excellent allergist
Dr. Viksman is an extremely knowledgeable and caring doctor. He has kept my allergies under control. But Dr. Viksman is more than an allergist. He has helped me when other specialists have failed. I strongly recommend Dr. Viksman. His office staff and nurses are professional and pleasant.

Great Allergist!
If you are looking for a doctor who really cares for his patients and wants to see them get better, Dr. Michael Viksman is who you want. Dr. Vickman has excellent bed side manner, is thorough and doesn’t give up to find what works for you. I was so ill last Fall and I am so much better this year. He tested me to see what I’m allergic to and found what was making me ill. His staff are friendly and dedicated especially his nurses Antonella and Christie who I see weekly for my allergy shots. Great doctor and staff!

He saved me!!
I made an appointment with Dr. Viksman in the Toms River location to treat me for my asthma, after my ENT retired. I also scheduled allergy testing to see if I was allergic to anything. Oh boy, was I!!! I couldn’t believe it. It’s now been 3 years that Dr. Viksman has treated me for my allergies and asthma and I feel like a new person. He saved me. I feel so much better. Dr. Viksman is professional, caring, and listens to your concerns, and I highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Dr. Vicksman.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Viksman for over 10 years. I had allergy testing by him and I’m on a monthly maintenance schedule now with shots. He always gives me the time of day as he really listens to what I have to say. He never rushes, and if I can’t get to the office when sick, his team of nurses will Triage me first and Dr. Viksman always calls back when he’s done with office hours. He’s a terrific doctor.

He changed my life.
On my first visit, Dr. Viksman met with me to go over my history. After a lengthy conversation he had an idea what I was dealing with and gave it a name. Allergy testing followed and we made plans to start allergy shots and a new regime of meds. I was sick all the time with sizable polyps, terrible allergies and living on steroids. Today, 3 years later, I have no problems with allergies and I got my sense of smell back which had been gone for 41 years!! Previously I was being treated by an allergist, an ENT and a pulmonologist and now I only see Dr. Viksman. He is knowledgeable and patient. I would recommend him to anyone and I have.

Dr. Viksman was able to diagnose me with adult allergic asthma and work on a treatment to get me back to work and enjoying life without breathing issues. The staff is absolutely amazing, extremely friendly and always willing to help you with any problems. I would recommend Dr. Viksman to all of my friends going through the same issues I was.

I have been a patient of Dr. Vicksman for approximately three years. I am a 63 year old male and in all my experience with health care professionals, Dr. Viksman is the very best. He and his staff, are both caring and knowledgeable in their field. You are never rushed and get the feeling of a family environment. Today too many doctors can only give you a 5 minute visit and out the door. You will never experience that with this excellent practice. I highly recommend you visit their office when you want exceptional care.

Dr. Viksman has helped my sister and I tremendously with our allergies. My sister’s allergies used to be so bad she wouldn’t be able to go outside during the spring time without using an inhaler and her eyes would swell/get very red. Since receiving allergy injections and medication from Dr. Viksman she is able to enjoy being outside and her allergies don’t interfere with her daily life. We are so grateful to have found such a helpful/ knowledgeable doctor. The nurses in the practice are also very helpful and nice.

Top notch Doctor. I was set to have stomach surgery and two weeks prior I had come down with a terrible cough. I talked with my surgeon and he said he would not proceed with the surgery if I did not have the issue resolved beforehand ( obviously - recovering from intrusive stomach surgery with a violent and harsh cough is not ideal !! ). Enter Dr. Viksman. I was not even one of his patients but he ( and his staff ) had me in his office two days later. The Doctor put me on a detailed regiment and within ten days I was much better and was able to have the surgery as scheduled ( and all went well with the surgery ). I can't express strongly enough how impressive Dr. Viksman and his staff are and I highly recommend him to anyone with allergies or a coughing and / or sinus issues. Thank you very much Dr. Viksman !!!!
