Dr. Robert Walsh Hickey, MD

My recent visit with Dr. Hickey was diagnostic for allergy testing. He spent a lot of time with me and was totally interested and intent on hearing my past allergy symptoms. I highly recommend.

Dr. Hickey completely dismissed all of my concerns and questions. He said that he did not believe I had a reaction and that it was just a panic attack. He was a complete jerk and did not trust that I knew the difference between the feeling of a panic attack and an allergic reaction. He stated that I needed to take a ‘hard look at myself because it doesn’t sound like I have my anxiety under control’ and that I was ‘fabricating this reaction to cover for a panic attack.’ Do not go to this doctor.

I took my 2 year old daughter to Allergy Associates of NH in Dover today. She has severe nasal inflammation, runny nose and sensitive skin. she has been sick like this every day of her life since 2 months old. We have been seeing the ENT for over a year and this was our first trip to the allergist. Dr. Hickey had terrible attitude toward me and my daughter did not respond well to him. She usually is okay at the doctor. Every time I asked him a question he was very cross with me. He would raise his voice and say "I already told you such and such". After giving her a skin test for dust and dander (negative results) he told me that he didn't think my daughter had any allergies and to stop giving her two out of the three medications that where given by the ENT that have lessened her symptoms. He did no further testing and did not schedule my daughter for another appointment. If you take your child to this office, please take my advice and see another allergist. I will be asking for another… visit and a second opinion.

Found Dr. Hickey to be caring and pleasant and helpful. Great bedside manner. Felt comfortable that he knew what he was talking about- experience.
