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.

I'm totally impressed with the fact that Dr. Vegh took the time to respond plus apologized and tried his best to make it right with the one review that was disappointed. I see integrity, respect for others and clarifying the situation in that response to the review so my search for who I need to see next is solved! That made my decision solid!! I don't normally take the time to write a review unless it has been an experience that significantly impacted my quality of life and this will be my first review without meeting a doctor. I was trying to figure out which doctor I need to get to the root of coughing that could be allergy asthma according to others who have this condition. All my other health conditions were solved by strangers I met who also suffered in the same way. Regardless if he can or can't help me it will be the start to bringing me more informed education that will only help me advocate for myself and get to another layer removed that is impacting my life!!

Dr Vegh has thirty years of experience in allergy and asthma. He's extremely compassionate and dedicated to improving the health of his patients. Dr Vegh personally returned my emergency call and patiently gave me clear intructions and even called later to see if I'd improved. Dr. Vegh prides himself on being thorough and leaves no stone unturned. He's familiar with all treatments and medications and keeps up with new research. Dr Vegh is one of the finest doctors I've ever met.

Dr Vegh, is a very compassionate man who not only cares about your illness but also for you as a person. His skill and his knowledge of his profession allowed him to help me with my severe asthma attacks whether I was in his office or on vacation in another state. Not only has he been a lifesaver to me but also to my oldest daughter, who has suffered with extreme asthma for many years! Thank you Dr. Vegh for being there for us.

Dr. Vegh is the most amazing Doctor!! 14 years ago I spent a summer in Italy & came back with a nasty "unknown disease." Many Dr.s specializing in apathy found nothing. Then Dr. Vegh changed my life. He tested me & actually listened. His sincere concern was genuine & his desire to both diagnose & cure my health was overwhelming. He didn't give up & put me on happily on the road to recovery. (depression gone) I can finally breathe easy!!~ (Literally he also cured my mild asthma.) BEST DR. EVER!

This is an AMAZING doctor! For our first visit to his clinic, he literally had us in his office for over 5 hrs doing testing for allergies, pulmonary functioning tests, and spent so much one on one time with us and our daughter who has had so many medical problems in such a short period of time and helped us understand WHY she was having all the problems she was having! He confirmed some (and more!) things that we had suspicions of as allergies, and so much more! Great education! TOP NOTCH!

Our time and money were wasted on results that did not help our symptoms. The office was crowded and unsterile. After Dr. Vegh used a wooden tongue depressor he dropped it into a glass dish containing soapy water; there were others floating in there too. I believe in recycling also, but not when it comes to healthy practices. His nurse did not glove up when handling the needles. Dr. Vegh was pushing drugs that were certainly not needed with our test results. What a disappointment.

I decided to move on after several yrs of seeing Dr Vegh. He is thorough but VERY inconsiderate of patients' time. Other doctors in the office were much better about my time. After getting allergy testing one time & waiting over two hours to see him to discuss the results, I was told he could not fit me in and I would have to reschedule. Same thing when I came back at a later date, but they managed to fit me in when I told them that I was there that day because of what happened previously.

Intelligent, compassionate, dependable, responsive, patient… I could go on and on when describing Dr Vegh. He diagnosed and is treating my son's rare disease that other so called 'top notch' doctors could not do in years at Seattle Children's & Swedish. When you want to be treated with respect and compassion Dr Vegh is the one. He won't stop - we are forever grateful.

I appreciate a thorough Dr...but this was out of control. I went in for food allergy testing. Although I made it clear I don't have breathing problems, he refused to listen, proceeding to do several tests for asthma. After spending 30 min asking me questions, I was left alone in the exam room for 50 minutes. He came back and asked more ?? and did a physical exam. After 4 hours, I was told it would be another 2. Office vibe and Dr are VERY old school. Other Staff was much better.
