Dr. F is awesome. I struggled along with hives for 2 years in Chattanooga seeing family docs, allergists and dermatologists (etc.) that collectively knew nothing about mast cell disorders and all just prescribed more and more antihistamines. Dr F knew exactly what I had more importantly, knew that I needed a mast cell stabilizer and not more antihistamines. I'm very thankful for him, he literally changed my life drastically for the better.

Dr. F was so attentive and did not rush. He discussed options with me. He made me feel very comfortable and came up with appropriate solutions to my issues.

Dr Farenholtz is always attentive,cheerful (which helps me not have that white coat syndrome!) and explains your concerns,diagnosis and plans in plain English. Although I understand medical terminology,it helps when a Dr gets down to our 'level' so you don't leave uninformed or confused. He most certainly spends adequate time with his pts and that's a huge plus.

Dr. Fahrenholz spent more time with me than any provider ever has. He was kind, thorough, answered all my questions at my level of understanding, and really connected with me to give me individualized care. The best clinic experience I have ever had at the scariest time of my life.

I have seen Dr. Fahrenholz for many years. He takes really great care of me. My son accompanies me to clinic now and Dr.. Fahrenholz listens to both of us as he creates his plan of care for me.
