Posted on Google Larisa LoveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lindsey was honestly amazing. My son had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic Pleasant Pediatrics prescribed, and I felt super brushed off and just told to go to the hospital without much help. Lindsey actually took the time to listen to me, monitor my son, and make sure he got what he needed, including steroids. She didn’t make me feel crazy or overreactive.. she just handled it and helped. As a mom, that meant everything. You can tell she genuinely cares and isn’t just giving cookie-cutter responses.Posted on Google Trin RayneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a good overall experience at this clinic. Staff was friendly and the environment felt comfortable. I would consider coming back in the future :)Posted on Google Gemma ScottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always so nice people and very clean and calm areaPosted on Google Cameron MendelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lindsey really takes the time to customize each drop formula, especially with the PollyKit, so it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. She’s incredibly thorough and knowledgeable, and you can tell she genuinely wants to understand what you’re dealing with before creating a plan. She explains everything in a way that actually makes sense, which makes the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. You can tell she truly cares about her patients getting real relief-not just going through the motions. It feels very intentional and personalized, which is hard to find. Even the follow-up process stands out. Larisa in admin is incredibly on top of checking in and making sure everything is going smoothly. That kind of consistency and communication is rare and makes a huge difference.Posted on Google Judith GibbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt friendly service. Very knowledgeable. Communicated every step of the processPosted on Google Louna KotimäkiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lindsey truly is an expert in what she does! She took all my concerns seriously and helped me like no other doctor has ever done!Posted on Google Sarah WeinhardtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been suffering from year round allergies but they became horrific at our twice a year allergy seasons here in AZ. To manage I had to take multiple OTCs, nasal sprays and even get an RX and I still sneezed almost non stop. I was miserable and finally about two years ago I had enough. Lindsay took the time to listen to me, even giving more advice for headaches and GERD symptoms that could be caused by allergies. After the tests I started the drops, it’s been 18 months and I am totally off any allergy meds and have almost zero symptoms of allergies even in the worse of the season! I am amazed at how well it works when you stick to it! I highly recommend this course and it’s so much better for your skin, hair, and health than the steroid shots, while those may act fast, they are not healthy long term. If you are delaying, don’t just do it, it takes time but it’s worth it!Posted on Google Russ & Jeanne PetersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had allergies my entire life. Last year I decided to try allergy testing and start immunotherapy drops. Previous to this, I had dealt with my allergies with antihistamines and a box of tissues. I had a bit of a rough start with the drops related to a medication I was taking. Lindsey was amazingly patient and knowledgeable assessing my progress and diluting my original drops. I am happy to report I am currently on full strength drops daily, my nose is clear for the first time ever, and I feel great! I highly recommend Lindsey Forstie and Carefree Allergy if you suffer from allergies. This is her speciality and you will feel so much better! Jeanne PetersonPosted on Google Harmony NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of struggling with Zyrtec, nasal sprays, eye drops etc, allergy drops are the only thing that has consistently worked for me. Strongly recommend to anyone that can afford it. I have at least one major allergy for every season, and it's so great to finally not be uncomfortable and distracted with fluctuating symptoms. Staff are all so kind and helpful, just overall a great experience.Posted on Google Diane PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lindsey was willing to test me for JUST the one thing I needed to know about, and prescribe effective drops afterwards. Much appreciated not having to do all the series of tests when I had already had them done previously.

A Smarter Approach to Allergy Relief
Living with allergies should not mean living around them. At Carefree Allergy, we build treatment plans around your life, your triggers, and your environment, not a one-size-fits-all solution. For many of our patients, allergy drops are at the heart of that plan, a simple, effective, and proven way to tackle allergies at the source.
Allergy drops are not just easier than shots, they are also more effective for many patients. Rather than masking your symptoms, they work by retraining your immune system. Small, controlled doses of your specific allergens are placed under the tongue, where they are absorbed and gradually teach your body to stop overreacting to the things that trigger you. Over time, your immune system builds tolerance, and your symptoms become less frequent, less severe, and in many cases, disappear altogether.

Year-Round Allergens in North Phoenix: What Deer Valley Residents Face
One of the challenges of living in Phoenix is that there is truly no allergy-free season. Spring brings heavy tree pollen, particularly from olive, mulberry, and ash trees that line streets and fill suburban yards. Summer monsoons trigger mold spore surges. Fall brings ragweed and other weed pollens. And year-round, dust mites, pet dander, and desert dust ensure that indoor and outdoor exposure is nearly constant.
At Carefree Allergy, we test comprehensively for the full range of allergens active in the Phoenix area, including the types most prevalent in rapidly developing urban corridors like Deer Valley. Understanding your complete allergen profile, not just your seasonal triggers, allows us to build a treatment plan that provides relief throughout the year, not just during one or two difficult months. For many patients, this comprehensive approach is the difference between managing symptoms and actually feeling well.

Lindsey Forstie, FNP, The Founder Of Carefree Allergy
Lindsey’s journey into allergy and asthma care began long before her medical training. As a child, she struggled with undiagnosed asthma. Physical activity meant chest tightness, headaches, and falling behind despite her effort. For years, she believed her limitations were personal rather than medical. It was not until a school nurse recognized the signs of asthma and proper treatment began that everything changed. Breathing improved, confidence returned, and the boundaries she had quietly accepted began to disappear.
That experience shaped the direction of her career. Lindsey became a nurse, then a board certified family nurse practitioner specializing in allergy and immunology. She founded Carefree Allergy with a clear mission: no one should have to live within unnecessary limits caused by untreated asthma or uncontrolled allergies.

Common Questions
Is Carefree Allergy close to the Deer Valley area?
Yes. Our clinic is located in North Phoenix and is very convenient for Deer Valley residents. We offer same-day testing, and telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up visits and consultations.
What allergens are most common for people living in Deer Valley?
I've already had allergy testing done elsewhere. Do I need to retest?
Not necessarily. If you have recent allergy test results (within the last few years), we can often use those to create your custom drop formula right away. Just bring your results to your consultation or have your previous provider send them over. This makes getting started fast and easy.ptoms, and severity. Based on this evaluation, targeted testing may be performed using skin testing or a blood sample. Results are then interpreted alongside your symptoms to determine whether a true food allergy is present.
What types of allergies and conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of allergies and conditions, from environmental allergies like seasonal and year-round allergies, mold, animal allergies, and allergic rhinitis, to skin conditions such as eczema and urticaria, as well as asthma, food allergies, eosinophilic esophagitis, and mast cell activation syndrome. If you are unsure whether we treat your condition, you can view our full list of conditions at carefreeallergy.com/conditions.
What does same-day allergy testing mean?
Same-day testing means that at your initial consultation, we can often perform skin prick testing or intradermal testing right then and have results reviewed before you leave. This is uncommon in traditional allergy practices, where testing is typically scheduled weeks after the first appointment. It allows us to start building your treatment plan much faster.
How does Carefree Allergy handle payment since it does not accept insurance?
We operate as a cash-based clinic to keep things straightforward and avoid the delays associated with insurance billing. We accept self-pay, HSA, and FSA payments. Superbills are available upon request for patients who would like to submit for out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance provider.
