Dana C. Wirth BS, MSN, FNP

She really seemed like the last place she wanted to be was on the telemed with me. Made me feel as if I was an inconvenience in her schedule.

Dr Wirth is very personable and cares about the individual. She explains things clearly and checks for understanding. She is awesome!!

I was marked as giving informed consent about my visit being recorded when I was uninformed until I happened to check the visit notes when waiting for test results. When talking about my history and the blood allergy test for Casein, she was very demeaning although I was only trying to ask genuine questions to learn more about the process and told me that it's just an intolerance and to try drinking Lactaid milk when even a small amount of butter on my food unknowingly will make me sick for within minutes and take days to recover. Additionally, she was completely uninformed in regards to how dairy works, which as an allergist seems counterintuitive. She thought I was talking about Wheat when I asked about if there was a Whey IGE test done, and it took several tries for me to say that no, dairy has two primary proteins, Casein and Whey. She then claimed she didn't even think there was a test for that before looking it up and confirming that there in fact was. She also focused entirely on my lactase enzyme function which prior to very suddenly getting reactive to dairy was completely normal and lactaid tablets did nothing to help, and the function itself was practically fine on the test. She ignored the open blisters inside of my nose on exam marking that it was clear, said my inflammation was from untreated GERD that we have been monitoring as we've already done tests and tried PPI's for but I'm already on a fair number of meds and don't want to keep trying more just for that, which I told her and she ignored. I had had my previous allergy records faxed which included an up to date total ige score of 405 which is high and well over the threshold of note (100) and she completely dismissed It just because I wasn't presently showing symptoms at that minute. I came because I started reacting to the previous antihistamines I had been on with a fast spreading contact dermatitis on my face and blistering from contact inside of my nose as confirmed by my previous allergist (who is just too busy at a small office to get me in easily.) I rapidly reacted to several different prescription and nonprescription antihistamines the same way with a flare after starting each one whether it was a nasal spray or eye drop of the same med. She told me to take more allegra (twice a day) instead and just see yet another specialist before maybe I'd get prescribed something else. When the allergy blood panel came back showing only two mild allergies, instead of continuing to look for why my levels were so high when neither of those allergens are present, she simply thinks its not worth dealing with til our next appointment, which I will not be having, and will not recommend to anyone that I know. This was the most disrespected I have ever been at an appointment and I wasted my own time and missed a college lecture to spend in total with the appointment time 4 hours just to get told to take another allegra tablet- something I already knew I could do. I normally have much better experiences with Vanderbilt doctors but if this is the quality of their allergists then I will not be recommending them for anyone.

Have already recommended Dr. Wirth to my mom!

She was awesome!

Nurse practitioner Wirth was great. She listened to my concerns and managed the session professionally.

They all took very good care of me

Excellent work with the doctors and the nurses outstanding

My visit went very well, and I received a lot of information about steps I can take to improve my conditions
