Paul T. Mcbride's Online Review Report Card

I loved him. Such a great Dr, looking for the cause of the problem from the roots! I'm amazed of how much he explained me, absolutely everything

Dr McBride brings a chemical engineering background to Allergy and Immunology, which sounds strange at first. But has been so helpful in sorting through the various allergens, medications and treatments for a complex and complicated patient. I've worked with him for 17 years, with annual updates on the latest immunological approaches an medications/contaminates. A big surprise over other allergists is the oral-allergy approach for tree pollens. Many food items were ok 8 mo. a year but trigger allergic reactions when eating certain foods like apples in Summer. Dr McBride was patient and a real detective on searching out root causes or contraindications.

Went to Dr.McBride after seeing the reviews and watching his video on the site talking about how he likes the complicated cases that no one else would take. My case is complex. I was beyond excited to get in with him. The initial appointment went great and for the first time in years I thought I was going to make progress. My bloodwork came back with a high marker that would explain my symptoms. I was excited to follow-up with instead I can a call from the staff saying to avoid the allergen. I explained that I'm continuing to have symptoms and they said they would reach out to him to find out if I could have another visit.No response. Finally went to another allergist and got diagnosed and treated based on the bloodwork that was run at his clinic. It is sad I had to go to two of the same type of practitioners to get help on such a time sensitive issue.That said, please do not waste your time on this guy. It seems like based on the other reviews, The Everette Clinic or Dr. McBride are not interested in cases that are more than one appointment.

I thought the chemical burn in my lungs from 1985 was the continuing cause of my chronic congestion and phlegm.. I was at the point of daily choking thinking there was nothing that could be done when out of desperation I made an appointment with the Everett Clinic and was sent to see Dr. McBride. Whatever burn I got 32 years ago turned out to have no bearing on the problems I was suffering all of these years. I think the doc had it figured out in the first 10 minutes that I had an allergy of some sort and through patient methodical elimination and testing it turned out I had a mold allergy. I get monthly shots, use an air purifier, and can now sleep without fear of choking in my sleep and go all day without a cough.

I'm seeing Dr. McBride for allergy to certain antibiotics testing. I'm looking enthusiastically forward to finding out just which antibiotics are helpful for me. I had a reaction (many years ago) to an antibiotic that gave me hives. I told Dr McBride this and he assured me the answer will be found. I find his way of talking and wealth of knowledge re: my situation...to be understandable and informative. The office staff and the Doctor get an A+ from me. I will continue to see this Doctor.

Dr. McBride is outstanding! Smart, caring, listens well. He exemplifies everything that I would hope for in a doctor that treats the maladies that he specializes in - and is great at referring to competent doctors that specialize in areas that are not in his area of expertise.

McBride is an out of the box thinker which has been wonderful for me who has suffered from a sudden onset of asthma/allergies for the last 15 years. Nothing in those 15 years have provided any sort of long term relief and I've tried everything (medications, 3 sinus surgeries, holistic treatments, etc). Dr. McBride has me on a new treatment that is already providing a relief I've never experienced before. He's always educated on the newest and latest research and treatments in his field as well.

Dr. McBride is an "out of the box" thinker which, for someone like me, is exactly what I needed for my extremely difficult chronic condition. Over 15 years I've tried everything including medications, surgeries, holistic treatments, diet changes, etc. Nothing has ever worked long-term. McBride backs his treatment advice with very thorough data and personal experience. On that note, I will say he does talk...A LOT. He is extremely knowledgeable and is constantly educating himself on the latest and greatest research so that can sometimes lead to an overflow of info and him kind of talking AT you instead of WITH you. I quickly learned it pays to politely interrupt/talk over him and redirect back to the conversation/issue at hand. To me this isn't a deal breaker, but to some it may prove to be frustrating or annoying. Bottom line: He knows his stuff - and I'm thoroughly impressed with the treatment options I've been given.

I was purely AMAZED. Not only does Dr. McBride have GREAT beside manner, he took the time to not only explain the results, but he educated me in the process. He is a rare one. I was very impressed. By the way, I don't get impressed easily.

Completely unprofessional. I scheduled an appointment for my husband because of the online reviews. After waiting for almost an hour to see Dr. McBride, the appointment was unreasonably long and inconclusive. Dr. McBride went off on tangents about things unrelated to the appointment. He didn't even consider the foods my husband had eaten and had violent reactions to. He didn't tell him what foods to avoid while my husband waited for the results of the blood test. He didn't tell him what to do in case he had another violent reaction. My husband had been there for three hours and came home with no answers. After being told that he would be contacted the following Monday with the results (the appointment was Wednesday), we still hadn't heard from the office for two weeks. We called to get the results, and they said, "It looks like they're in. We'll have a nurse call you to explain the results." Here we are a few days later, never having received that phone call, so my husband called back and the nurse couldn't read the doctor's notes. When the nurse finally called, she said that the doctor recommended something called "oral challenges," which essentially means that you eat three times as much as you normally would--of eggs, beef, corn, etc.--to see if it makes you sick. When my husband asked what to do in case he reacted, she said to "take some liquid Benadryl and try to relax." What? That's ridiculous.I've never had such a bad experience with doctors in this area. (I'm the one going to appointments usually.) I would not recommend Dr. McBride. I'm sure he's okay, but based on this experience and the lack of communication (especially given my husband's horrible allergic reaction that seems to be of no concern to Dr. McBride's office), I would not recommend Dr. McBride to anyone.
