Dr. Piccalo and staff are so kind and professional. We took allergy test everything came out fine which was a relief but was told during allergy season to come back if I wasnt feeling well. My children and I were given emergency inhalers and was glad not to be put on so much medications. So far we feel fine and have had no flares up as we had in previous care from other doctor we went to. i would recommend this office because they actually listen to patient and give medication as needed.

I've never had a better experience in a doctor's office. The office staff, nurse, and doctor were unbelievably on top of things. Aside from being generally on time, kind, and polite, the nurse and doctor went out of their way to make sure that I understood my diagnosis and even provided typed up notes from the session. I've grown so used to being disappointed by doctor's offices that it never occurred to me that an excellent experience was even possible.

I do not recommend this place at all. Took my toddler son in for an allergy test. They sent him for blood work which was fine. The lack of communication is appalling. They received the blood work, two days later I call about it and get told they will call me next week. No call. I left 1 messages to call me and nothing. I call back two weeks after they get the results and leave a message and nothing.

I call the next day and am told oh the nurse left you a message, well it was not on my phone. The panel they did came up negative, they could have called lab to see if there was enough blood for another panel but they clearly did not as that has to be done fairly quickly. I don't think anyone would have called me back if I didn't call them.

I been seeing Doctor Arthur Fost since I was 2 and I actually remember his dad also he was treating me at the end of his career. Doctor Fost is the best doctor he has helped me in every way above and beyond what any doctor would do. Now David Fost is following his career and has grown to be exceptional also. I highly recommend there practice year after year to everyone I come upon that suffers from asthma and allergies

I have chronic sinusitis and wanted to go deeper to see if it was allergy related. I used a FB search on the Montclair Watercooler for an allergist as mine didn't do the blood work. Saw rave reviews for Dr. Fost, and booked an appointment. The office is very welcoming and their art work speaks to the heart on so many levels. As a new patient, I was welcomed, and my nurse and Dr. Fost walked me through the rounds of updated allergy testing that we would be doing, along with the request for further blood work.

He ended up finding allergies I wasn't aware of, and prescribing something that is definitely addressing the sinusitis issues. When I mentioned I will be going for a cat scan for my sinuses, he asked me to make sure they get the results. Additionally when I mentioned I have a mom with Alzheimer's he didn't miss a beat talking about the latest information on Biogen's drug. I found the nurse incredibly forthcoming about her practices and reassuring. Definitely happy to have found the practice and have recommended them to friends.
