PATIENT REVIEWS

"Dr. Rima Sanka has been working closely with CKS for many years to secure Epi-pens through the Epi-pens 4 Schools Program. This has allowed CKS to stock medication that provides life-saving treatment for the students and teachers. She is a pleasure to work with and quick to respond if any issues arise with the order. I feel fortunate to collaborate with a Board Certified Allergist from our local community."

"I met Dr. Sanka after many episodes of a life-threatening condition that many other Dr.'s, Hospitals, and Emergency care facilities could not diagnose. Because of her alertness and caring approach, Dr. Sanka was able to determine the proper treatment and ultimately the correct course of action that has defined the cause. The staff and support I have received these last 4 years have been outstanding. Although my condition is not curable the treatments has made the future so much brighter."

- Ray Hansen

"Dr. Sanka is thorough, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Above all, she is a caring, compassionate doctor. Her office staff are friendly, welcoming and personable.

"I am a beekeeper, and recently discovered I am allergic to bees (!!) I went to see Dr. Sanka last fall & she developed a plan of action that would quickly keep me safe while allowing me to continue working with my bees. Dr. Sanka is knowledgeable, kind and an excellent practitioner and her staff are amazing! They are always professional, caring and helpful - especially Ashley, Erin & Jenny. Thank you Ladies - you are all Total Rock Stars!! It is a busy office, but they take time with every patient, addressing their needs and concerns, and making them feel like a valued part of their practice. I know that there are many other employees who are part of Dr. Sanka's office I haven't met who make it run so smoothly. Thank you to them as well! I would highly recommend Advanced Allergy to anyone in need of an allergist."

"It is not at all unusual to have a slight feeling of apprehension when going to a doctor for the first time. At age 92! I’ve had numerous of ‘first time’ experiences. Those feelings were certainly misguided when I went to Advanced allergy for my first appointment. EVERYONE in that office was professional, helpful, accommodating and friendly. The Dr listens patiently to my problems, never seems rushed. The staff is particularly friendly and helpful.
I highly recommend this facility"

Dr Sanka put a specific protocol in place for me and now a few weeks later I am able to breath freely. Dr Sanka takes the appropriate amount of time with each patient making everyone feel special.

Her staff does a wonderful job of making you feel special also! Thank you to Dr Sanka and staff!"

- Jane Summons

"Dr. Sanka is one of the best doctor's I've ever had (and unfortunately, I've had a lot of doctors in my life.) Since I travel so much for my work, it has been very difficult to make progress with my allergy shots. She enabled me to do a sort of experimental "crash" program of shots that enabled me to achieve in about 6 weeks what I'd been unable to accomplish in 10 years. She also correctly diagnosed my CVID and was able to convince my insurance to pay for the IG infusion treatment. My allergist in DC was President Clinton, President Bush and Al Gore's allergist and the official White House allergist. He was unable to obtain approval for my treatment. He failed but Dr. Sanka succeeded!"

- Stephen Goodrick

"Dr. Chamarthy,is an excellent doctor whom had diagnosed my daughter for five yrs she has found out things that we never even knew she had.

- Glen Fallacaro

"Dr. Charmarthy was my doctor at the VA Medical Center for quite some time. since she's retired I feel extremely fortunate to have her still as my allergy doctor.

I highly suggest seeing her for any allergy health aliments. thanks again dr. Charmarthy."

- John Greenwood

"I am extremely pleased with the care and concern I have received from Dr. Chamarthy and her staff, who have given me so much help in facing and treating my recent challenges. Stress is known to make allergic reactions worse, and she has helped reduce my stress. I have never been so calm and reassured by a doctor. I feel that Dr. Chamarthy and her staff truly care and they will continue to work with me to find the right treatment. I have the utmost faith and trust in them. I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done and I truly appreciate it."

-Jackie Barry

"I have been going here for just under a year and have nothing but positive things to say!

I have never had to wait what I could consider to be an excessive length of time either for my shots or to see the doctor."

- Kelly E

"We have been going to Advanced Allergy & Asthma for 3 years now. We started with Dr. Chamarthy, who is amazing. Then Dr. Degala joined the group and started at the Trinity location. Dr. Degala is so kind and very caring. She is very thorough with both of my children and always takes the time to address any concerns I may have. She always follows up on any questions or problems I have. The office staff is very friendly and they are always willing to work us in. I would highly recommend her to family and friends."

- Kelley Cassis

"My experience with mt appointments with Dr. Chamarthy were both professional and friendly.

I would not hesitate to refer friends and family to her for outstanding care."

- Jo Anne

"When my primary Dr. referred me to Dr. Sanka, I had a very bad hives, for no apparent reason, and with no apparent cause. Dr. Sanka did extensive diagnostic testing, and prescribed medications that helped greatly. There was never a long wait to see Dr. Sanka, and the staff was always friendly and knowledgeable. With Dr. Sanka's care, I no longer suffer from this condition. We need more doctors like Dr. Sanka!"

- Nelson Guerra

"Dr. Sanka is not only a wonderful doctor but a caring person as well. She takes extra time out in reviewing your medical records and test results to find the best solution for you. She found a questionable problem in my blood and not only did she redo the test but also ordered additional testing be done. She has helped me decrease my asthma medication by 75 percent. Dr. Sanka is a great doctor!."

- Laura

"Since moving to Tampa in 2011 I have suffered terribly with my allergy induced asthma. For 4 years I was in and out of doctors offices and the hospital trying to get my asthma under control. My asthma was so severe, all anyone could do is put me on prednisone, as soon as that wore off I would go right back in to the stages of sneeze, cough, drip, then asthma. It was a viscous cycle, I lived on my nebulizer, I always had to use my emergency inhaler, much to no avail. Finally due to insurance changes I was able to go to an allergist. Dr. Sanka was ready to partake in this battle head on. In fact her words were, "we will take this journey together" just having someone understand what I had went thru for so long and the fact she was willing to actually help was all I could ask. My prayers were answered with Dr. Sanka. I have been practically asthma free since March of 2016. No hospital visits and I haven't had to use my nebulizer or my emergency inhaler hardly at all. Dr. Sanka took the time to get to know me and listen! I owe my life to her. I truly felt I was going to die from this. I was so down, the agony of not being able to breath is at times taken for granted. Being a person that has had asthma her whole life I just cannot take this for granted. I am now active once again, enjoying life. Something I didn't think I was going to be able to do. My office is in S. Tampa. The whole staff is amazing and I recommend everyone who has any type of allergy to go there. They were my Godsend. Thanks advanced Allergy and Asthma Care."

- Deborah

"I drive across the bay just to come to Advanced Allergy and Asthma. I love the office staff and Dr. Sanka is amazing. I love catching up with her during our visits. They are very welcoming and concerned for my health. I can even bring my little ones along with no worries. Thanks ladies!!!"

- Christy Derito

"I had a serious case of seasonal allergies, and the doctors here at Advanced Allergy and Asthma Care helped bring me back to some normalcy. Something that I hadn't experienced for some time before my visit with them!"
