Clifford Bassett, MD, FACAAI, FAAAI

What are you waiting for? Go make an appointment! Dr. Bassett is not only hilarious and very fast, he clearly thinks critically and carefully about his patients and their cases. He considers your whole health picture and really sympathizes with you. He really cares about his patients and takes good care of them. Thorough, compassionate, clearly a phenomenal allergist, and with a great personality, I highly recommend him (I saw him at the Gramercy — Park Avenue South) office.

Dr. Bassett is very friendly and well-​informed. He seems to take a genuine interest in his patient’s overall health and will take the time to explain things. I would strongly recommend him.

I’ve been going to the midtown location and just switched I this one excuse it’s close to work. The allergist met with me within 5 minutes of walking in the door. Reviewed my history an started me on my first allergy shot.

After suffering for years, I went to see Dr. Bassett and had a wonderful experience! I am now able to enjoy Spring in NYC. Great staff, convenient location, great doctors! Highly recommended!

I love Carla! This morning I was actually excited to go see her for my asthma/​allergy appt. It’s weird to be excited to go to the allergist, but I was. I have been going to her for over 6 years during spring allergy season for my asthma and allergies and she brings nothing but smiles! Super kind, super attentive and gives extremely thorough check ups. If you want good friendly service with thorough attention go there! Carla rocks!

I wound up at this office through a specialist referral from my university health center when I was attending graduate school. I asked the office and the doctors religiously if the tests were covered by my insurance and if they were necessary– I asked that any non-​essential tests not be performed, so that I would not wind up with a huge additional fee. Not only did I end up with a co-​pay, which according to my insurance provider should never have been taken/​required by the office, but I ended up with a nice medical bill for the tests and second visit. Needless to say, they weren’t helpful in staying within the bounds of my insurance (not their job to explain insurance to me I know, but I’ve never been to ANY doctor who doesn’t work with you when you tell them you want covered services only).
Beyond that, most of the women I have had to deal with on their appointment line, they have one line for several offices, have been awful. They spend so much time speed talking at you about how they are «just trying to help you» that they never succeed in actually making you feel helped. It took them almost a month to fax my records to another doctor after my initial request. Glad to be done with this center.

I started immunotherapy for indoor and outdoor allergies at Dr. Bassett’s Park Avenue office back in April 2008. At that point, I was constantly congested, had acid indigestion every day, severe headaches and had 6 sinus infections over a period of 16 months… I basically couldn’t live my life: couldn’t fly, could hardly tolerate alcohol, etc…
After starting the therapy, I began noticing my allergies weren’t as severe after 3 – 4 months and today (about 8 months later) I feel nearly allergy free. No congestion, headaches, stomach problems… and I think most impressive, not one sinus infection!
Before being referred to Dr. Bassett, I had been to many specialists over a period of several years, including 3 ENT’s, 1 allergist who told me I had no allergies???, etc.
I never thought I would feel so good again… in fact, I forgot how it felt to just feel normal!
