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.

The Connection Between Allergy Control and Overall Wellness
For many Paradise Valley residents who prioritize their health comprehensively, uncontrolled allergies represent a gap they are keen to close. Beyond the obvious nasal and respiratory symptoms, chronic allergic inflammation has been linked to disrupted sleep, increased fatigue, cognitive fog, elevated stress hormones, and a worsened inflammatory baseline that can affect other health outcomes. Managing allergies effectively is not just about comfort, it is a meaningful component of overall wellbeing.
At Carefree Allergy, we take this broader view of health seriously. Our goal is to give your immune system a stable, well-functioning baseline from which other aspects of your health can benefit. Patients who complete immunotherapy treatment consistently report improvements that extend well beyond their allergy symptoms, including better sleep, more energy, and a general sense of feeling healthier throughout the year. For patients who approach their health holistically, this integrated benefit is often one of the most compelling reasons to pursue proper allergy treatment.
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.

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
Does Carefree Allergy serve patients from Paradise Valley?
Yes. Our North Phoenix clinic is conveniently accessible from Paradise Valley. We also offer telehealth consultations for patients who prefer to consult from home, with allergy drops shipped directly to your door once treatment is established.
What allergens are most common for people living in Paradise Valley?
Paradise Valley’s desert foothills expose residents to significant pollen from native plants including palo verde, desert broom, and native grasses. The area’s mature ornamental landscaping contributes olive and other tree pollens, and indoor allergens such as dust mites are a year-round concern in any residential setting.
Is sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops) scientifically validated?
Yes. Sublingual immunotherapy has been studied extensively and is recognized by major allergy and immunology organizations worldwide. It works through the same immunological mechanisms as traditional allergy shots — gradually desensitizing the immune system to specific allergens — but with a significantly lower risk of systemic reactions and without the need for clinic injections.
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 treatment options are available for allergies?
There is no single solution that works for everyone, and that is exactly why we take a personalized approach. Depending on your triggers and lifestyle, your treatment plan may include allergy drops, medication management, or a combination of both. Our goal is to find what works best for your body and your daily routine, not just what is easiest on paper.
How long does allergy treatment take to work?
That depends on the treatment and the person, but most patients start noticing improvement within a few months. Allergy drops, for example, work gradually by building your immune system’s tolerance over time. It is not an overnight fix, but the results are lasting, and that is what makes it worth it.
