Food Allergy

Food allergy is one of the most common conditions that we treat. It can cause a lot of anxiety in patients and families, and can result in bullying at school. We look to make a diagnosis by skin test or blood test, and make an individualized plan for each patient. We follow up to see if the allergy goes away over time and my perform food challenges in our office when needed. Oral immunotherapy is not yet approved by the FDA, but it might be approved in the near future.
