I was drawn to the field of allergy and immunology because it enables me to treat complex diseases and also focus on prevention. I treat children and adolescents with all types of allergic and immunologic issues in both Westchester County and New York City. I am particularly passionate about treating and clarifying food allergies because I know how much a child's quality of life depends on it. We offer several non-invasive procedures at all of our locations that aid in diagnosis and treatment—from skin testing to food and medication challenges to allergy immunotherapy. I love that I am able to work with children every day, and I enjoy building relationships with my patients and their families.
