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.

Faltay is affiliated with Cleveland Clinic, so UMR will not cover the costs of allergy testing like regular doctors. Nobody in Bela Faltay's office will explain this to you. When you ask about it they will be very unempathetic and claim they did. BEWARE: Allergy Testing with Cleveland Clinic through UMR is very expensive! Go to a different doctor to avoid the costs, even with Faltay being in-network with UMR. This is an "outpatient facility," so they charge more and UMR won't cover. Also, Cleveland Clinic requires you stay for 30 minutes after your shots. Nobody tells you this when you express to them you choosing their office has more to do with convenience than anything else. This also didn't seem to be an issue for one nurse who left message simply asking "please just let us know how your sites were doing during your next visit." They will never suggest on subsequent appointments for shots that you have to stay. Then one day you'll get a new nurse, Andrea, and she'll ban you form getting shots. No prior warning from anyone beforehand. Just refusal to provide care until i setup a follow-up appointment with the doctor. A previous conversation could've avoided all of this, but they chose to deny care all together. I won't be back. I'm surprised and saddened by the treatment at a "Cleveland Clinic" facility.

Great Allergy Specialist
For over 2 years I had been sick with constant infections due to severe allergies. After 1 visit, Dr Faltay put together a treatment plan for me that has changed my life dramatically! I am able to do things outside that I could never do because of the allergens and have not been sick at all!

I have been seeing Dr. Faltay for over a year now. He is kind, friendly, and honest. I felt cared for as a person, and he was thorough as he helped me find the root of a breathing issue I'd had for years. I felt that he took me seriously and listened to my concerns, which is sometimes a hard quality to find in a doctor as a mentally ill young woman. I think that all of these positive qualities are truly intentional and that he makes an effort to treat all of his patients equally well, whatever their race, age, gender, weight, mental health status, or sexuality, while still paying attention to their individual needs and concerns. I have had some administrative issues with his office in the past (mainly not returning phone calls or calling to schedule appointments as promised), but overall the nurses, PAs, and Dr. Faltay himself are great.

I've been seeing Dr. Faltay on and off for over 10 years. He is always very kind, friendly, and helpful. I have never once felt like he was rushing my appointment, and he explains everything so well and makes sure I understand the plan for treatment. I have been battling some sort of autoimmune disease for several years, but it has gotten significantly worse recently. Although I am frustrated and upset by our plan to move forward, Dr. Faltay explained to my why he wants to go this direction and why it matters. I agree with the plan, and am hopeful to have answers soon, just may not be immediately because other issues require treatment first. I have 100% confidence in his treatment plan, and know I am very likely to have better health as a result!

I had a tremendous experience with Dr. Faltay and could not be more pleased with his care and his sensitivity in the manner in which he took care of me as his patient. I am battling a bad case of Venom Allergy due to Bee's and Wasps and Fire Ants. He did a fantastic job of working through all the issues to determine the cause. I also had a severe reaction to a Surgical Prep and he has me on the way to seeing it eradicated. He is so knowledgeable and he is so kind. I would highly recommend him!!!

Dr. Faltay is AWE*MAZING !!! He is a personal Doctor who is great at explaining everything to you. He is in no hurry with your appointment - you feel like you are his only patient. He is very honest. I have been to 5 allergists. (retired, moved away - Im not a doctor hopper) He surpasses them all !! My visit was at the Kent Location

Dr. Faltay is a one of a kind physician. He truly cares about his patients. He listens to them answers all questions. But most importantly Dr. Faltay never misses anything. He always seems to know just what I need to get well. If it were not for him God knows where I would be. Maybe 2 ft under. So thankful he is my doctor!!
