Stephanie L. Mawhirt, D.O.

My proclivity for science and technology and my passion for teaching led me to choose the medical profession. As an allergy and immunology specialist, I focus on diagnosing and treating various allergic and immunological issues in people of all ages.

From diverse experiences, I have acquired a strong skill set over the years. Today, my team and I are experts in performing patch testing for the diagnosis and management of allergic contact dermatitis. I also evaluate people for metal hypersensitivity and burning mouth syndrome.

As one of the few academic centers that can desensitize people to biologic medications and chemotherapeutics, our division enables patients with a history of drug allergy to receive their medications through specialized protocols, maximizing safety and treatment outcomes. I also help people manage hives (chronic urticaria) and acquired angioedema, among other disorders.

In addition to providing clinical care in outpatient and hospital settings, I am a fellow of the American College of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology and a delegate to the American Medical Association. I am proud to serve as an academic educator and mentor through my leadership positions as associate program director of the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Program and director of the Sub-Internship in Internal Medicine at the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine. Teaching the next generation of physicians is a very significant and valued part of my career.

My work philosophy is based on competency and a commitment to improving patient health and wellbeing. I believe each patient deserves a personalized approach to care, tailored to their requirements and preferences. As the first physician in my family, I am honored to serve the community in my clinical and teaching roles. If you are seeking evaluation of an allergy and immunology concern, my team and I are here to provide effective, compassionate care.
