Carolina Asthma & Allergy Center

Front office staff always greets you warmly. We were called within five minutes of our appointment time which was great, considering it’s the day before a major holiday.
Our nurse was super sweet and caring. She even said the staff is working to get patients in and out to start the holiday.
Dr. Lapeunte is beyond fabulous. His bedside manner is considerate and compassionate. He takes his time to explain every procedure and leaves you with no unanswered questions. We love him. He is conservative in his treatment approaches and actually listens and respects our wishes. When he initially meets you and rattles off your entire asthma/​allergy history from memory, prepare to be amazed!

My first time visiting this office was last week. They were wonderful, the office was clean, the people were friendly and my Dr. and his nurses and assistants were awesome. I have never had a better experience at an asthma /​allergy doctors office. Having suffered my whole life that = a lot of office visits over the years. Dr. Lapuente was friendly. knowledgeable, took his time to explain things, gave me lots of literature to look over after the appt. and his staff were amazing and professional.

Carolina Asthma is a great place to go for first timers like my husband and myself. We were able to get our allergy tests together, in the same room, administered by Dr. Lapuente and his staff.
We decided to go together because each of us have seasonal allergies, I have skin allergies and neither had been tested before. We each got the test on the back where they do a little dab of each allergen, read the test and tell you what you reacted to.
We also got the «bubble» test, which is after your back test, they take all of the ones you didn’t react to and then inject them under your skin. Not very fun, but I think the nurse «Angel» did a great job with me. She was quick.
After listening to us at the beginning Dr. Lapuente was able to identify my husband’s allergies and recommended that I have a «T.R.U.E» patch test. I had to come back later the next week and get the patch put on my back. You have to keep it on for 2 days and come back to have it read. The patch test identified my skin allergies, and overall I had a great experience.
My husband is going back in a couple of weeks to see if the inhaler he was given is working to help his allergy-​induced-​asthma.
A great place, I enjoyed everyone who worked there.

This is where I get my allergy shots, so I’m here on a weekly basis. Every staff member I have interacted with is extremely caring and nice, from the front desk to the ladies in the shot room to the doctors. The usual wait time for a shot is about 10 minutes, but at peak times I’ve had to wait about 25 – 30.
The waiting room is very nice, playing good music, decent selection of reading materials, and comfy chairs and sofas. The location is also extremely convenient as its right in Ballantyne Corporate Park. Definitely recommended if you have allergies!
