Alpha Allergy & Asthma Associates

"I have been a patient at Alpha Allergy & Asthma Associates for about 6 months and I have consistently received excellent care at every visit! Dr. Erekosima, Dr. Akinyemi, and nurses Catie, and Yemi are the best! Dr. Erekosima is an outstanding allergist! She is knowledgably, patient, and thorough because she truly cares about her patient’s overall heath and treatment. Catie and Yemi are friendly and professional! I highly recommend Alpha Allergy & Asthma Associates as the best allergy & asthma specialists in the DMV!"

"Dr. Erekosima is the absolute best allergist I have had in the past 30 plus years. She is thorough and detailed to get the most accurate history in order for her to give the best treatment. She is very good in educating the patient and answering questions I am well cared for under her compassionate expertise as a doctor. The staff is also very caring. If you are searching for an allergist I would highly recommend her."

"My family was served by this practice for over three years. My first complaint coincides with some of the others regarding unnecessary billing regarding spirometery testing. During this time I saw many things that sent flags such as staff turnover. The one consistent staff member was not treated well at all. Dr. Erikosema would always try to enforce office visits even though insurance charges were made biweekly through the shot clinic. I really became disillusioned when discrepancies came up over billing (errors by the previous billing company) which after receiving six sets of bills all with different balances. Dr. Erikomsema would not settle though evident all payments had not been applied. My final straw and what led to this review is the fact that after providing notification that my family would no longer utilize services Dr. Erikomsema had the audacity to tell the new provider "they are no longer my patients, you'll have to figure out the dosages necessary for yourself." How would this behavior to another physicians office be considered as professional?"

"Nkiruka Erekosima is fantastic. This review is regarding the practice itself. They want me to schedule an appointment every 3 months for a basic refill of a prescription of Zyrtec just so they can bill my insurance company for a doctors visit. What a rip off. My previous allergy doctor would write me a prescription for an entire year. This practice is not for the patients, but for the money."

"I saw Nkiruka Erekosima and it was the best overall experience I've ever had a at a doctor's office. She was patient, attentive, and explained everything she was thinking and doing to treat me. Beyond that she went out of her way to work with my insurance to be sure I would get the best treatment I could at the lowest price. I would recommend her to anyone"
