Summary
- I am a board certified allergist and immunologist with special interest in the evaluation and treatment of food allergy, medication allergy, mast cell disorders (including assessing mast cell degranulation contributing to dysautonomia and POTS), allergic rhinitis, recurrent sinus and other respiratory infections and asthma. I promise to listen to your concerns and look for the most effective treatment options that would best fit your needs. I am known for looking for "thinking outside the box" and considering both traditional and alternative modalities of treatment for previously confusing lists of symptoms. This has permitted me to find food allergies in patients with irritable bowel symptoms, control chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia with oral supplements and anti-IgE therapies. Stabilize mast cell associated disorders. Control chronic urticaria with Anti-IgE therapy 12 years before it was approved for this condition by the FDA. Find rare or otherwise unrecognized causes of anaphylaxis despite patients having had extensive evaluations at other prominent medical facilities. Controlling multiple chemical sensitivities with immune modulation.
