About Me
Training in both allergy and dermatology prompted me to pursue a career as an allergy and immunology specialist with focus on dermatologic manifestations of allergic diseases.
I see children and adults with a variety of conditions, including allergies, asthma, and immunologic disorders. I also provide care for patients with rare and potentially life-threatening disorders of the immune system.
NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island is well regarded for our management of allergic and immunologic diseases. We are one of the few centers in the nation that evaluates patients with allergies to chemotherapeutic agents, aspirin, biologics, and other drugs, and that also performs drug desensitization. We are a referral center for difficult and rare allergic and immunologic diseases.
In addition to serving as a physician and educator, I conduct research on allergic skin disease, including new medications for atopic dermatitis and difficult to control hives, also known as urticaria. I also investigate suspect reactions to biomedical devices, such as knee or hip replacements, cardiac stents, and dental devices. I am a past president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and former chair of the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. I am on the board of the World Allergy Organization.
