We had a great experience with Dr. Dever and all the nurses. Our appointment was extremely thorough and the staff was so caring with our 8 month old. We really felt like we were in the best hands. Would highly recommend Allergy & Asthma Care of Fairfield County – especially if you have a little one!
Local GuideLevel 4Ana Flores
Great experience with this practice. Every person treated my son and I with respect and kindness. My son is only 8 years old and he was given time to ask questions and be prepared when he was going to be tested. Really happy with this team.

Casey Munoz
Had a great experience with Dr. Bloom and her team! The office is spacious and clean. Our apartment started on time and was very efficient and the staff was very helpful in keeping our infant son at ease during his allergy testing. I’d recommend this practice and Dr. Bloom to anyone looking for an allergist!
Local GuideLevel 3Allison Glassman
We met with a different nurse this time than we had in the past which always makes me a little bit nervous but she was absolutely fantastic and gave us some great suggestions and information for managing seasonal allergies among other things!

Jess Finneran
I was nervous before my appt as I knew I had to get allergy tested and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Even though it was a little painful (I got the prick test and the needles) the nurse Ana was SO nice talking to me while it was happening and asking me questions to completely distract me.
Dr Dever was incredibly nice taking her time and explaining things to me. I never felt rushed. I felt seen and she answered all of my questions with patience. I couldn’t get over how all of the staff in the office was so friendly. I will definitely be recommending this office to friends in need of an allergist.

I’ve never been to an Allergy & Asthma specialist before. This was a great experience! My appointment started at my scheduled time which, in my experience, doesn’t happen very often. The nurses and Doctor were excellent! The explained everything before, during and after. I would highly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for allergy or asthma care!
Local GuideLevel 3Jenny Klintenstedt
We have been here several times now (both Trumbull and Fairfield offices) the last year with my kids due to food allergies. They (Dr. Bachman and APRN Ross, but really all staff) have been really good and easy to communicate with. I warmly recommend! Always feel welcome and listened to ????
