In discussing my medical history with the Dr and her fellow, I had forgotten about a visit in February 2025. I remember it now but at the time I was a total blank and they were very respectful of my memory problem. My case is complicated by several factors, and I felt that they took everything into consideration to work out the best plan.

I told Dr. Cahill that I didn't care for the long drive from Huntsville, but it was definitely worth it! I feel blessed now that after Dr. Hassan had referred me to 2 different allergists in the Huntsville area, I was told I needed to go to Vanderbilt. I am so grateful that Dr. Cahill would see me. I would highly recommend her to anyone facing severe allergic reaction to medications.

Spent time updating me when things changed due to my reaction. Both physicians were kind and demonstrated knowledge.

Dr. Cahill is probably one of the most caring and professional doctors that I've ever been to. I feel it was a blessing from God that no allergist in Huntsville would see me, and they referred me to Vanderbilt. She treated me like I was her only patient, and she is a true credit to Vanderbilt!
