Food Allergies Are A Growing Epidemic

Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center

More than 15 million Americans, approximately 5% of adults and 8% of children, have a food allergy and nearly 40 percent of these children have already experienced a severe or life-threatening reaction. Studies have revealed living with food allergies, strict avoidance of the allergen and the fear of accidental exposure, increases anxiety and has a negative impact on a childs quality of life as well as the familys quality of life.

When Others Cant Help We Can

Each patient is different and requires an individualized treatment plan.

Our OIT family includes: national and international patients, children of doctors who trust that we can help, adults and children who lost hope because they had been told they are not candidates, and even families who have been told they failed OIT are referred to us.

We are grateful to help all of these patients and families who did not give up and had the courage to continue to seek treatment and relief, and found it with us.

Desensitization And Oit Success Happens Here Every Day

Allergist

Desensitization means that a person can consume a significant amount of a problem food without experiencing a reaction, the majority of our patients achieve this in just 6 months, yes, 6 months!

The elation of the families who experience this describe it as life changing, and an amazing relief. We take tremendous joy and pride in having helped change and improve the lives of so many!

In order to stay safe, patients continue eating these foods until tolerance is developed. The desensitization or tolerance has helped large numbers of people with food allergies, protecting them against potentially fatal reactions. During OIT, the food is administered slowly, in small but steadily increasing doses, until the patient is desensitized to it. Clinical trials have demonstrated 80-95% success rate, if done properly and administered in a controlled setting.

We have a dedicated experienced team, resources, and controlled settings to help families with food allergies who plan to join our growing number of OIT patients. We are here for you and with you for the duration.
