Allergy Treatment Services

Food allergies occur because of an immune system reaction to certain foods. 1 in 20 Americans are affected by food allergies and they can occur at any age, but are most commonly diagnosed in babies and young children. 90% of food allergies are related to milk, egg, soy, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, shellfish and fish. We diagnose and manage food allergies regularly in our office, and are at the forefront of available treatments for food allergies. Our office is a leader in food desensitization OIT treatment both regionally and nationally. Over 500 of our food allergic patients have successfully completed our programs. See our food allergy center page for more information.
