Rudolph Joseph MD

I originally made an appointment with Dr. Rudolph for an allergy test in the Spring to see if I had allergies and what I would need to do if I did. I received a skin test that DID NOT involve needles, which I was extremely nervous about! I felt NOTHING! It just felt like someone pushed a fine tooth comb on the surface of your skin. I found that I had allergies to almost everything and would need weekly shots (2 shots/​week) to create an immunity within my body to the things that I’m allergic to. I am that person that is usually very intimidated by needles, but the shots truly don’t hurt as much as others because it only goes into the skin versus the muscle. I was also given allergy tablets, a steroid inhaler, and nasal spray. Each medication that was given was described in depth by Dr. Rudolph as to why I needed them, which made me confident in what I would be taking to help ease my current allergic symptoms. Since I’ve been in Dr. Rudolph’s care, I have not had a sore throat, ear aches, or intense cold symptoms. Sometimes, I may feel like a cold is coming on with symptoms of scratchy throat, watery eyes, or coughing, but since treatment, the cold doesn’t fully form and I don’t get sick. Before treatment, I was feeling like I had strep throat/​ear infections/​a cold every 3 – 6 weeks, and now, I am never sick! I am very satisfied with Dr. Rudolph’s initial evaluation of my condition and the treatment he has given me for it. I would recommend Dr. Rudolph to anyone that is suffering from persistent colds and allergy/​cold symptoms and wants relatively fast relief!
