Pediatric Allergy and Immunology

About Us

The Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Program offers a thorough diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for various allergy and immunology disorders. We treat patients age up to 24 years old as new patient and 26 years old as follow-up age. Affiliated with the Division of Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy & Immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Komansky Children's Hospital, our patients have access to doctors and healthcare professionals across various pediatric sub-specialties when needed.

Pediatric Psychology services are available for patients seen in Weill Cornell Medicine pediatric medical divisions.

The Pediatric Psychology Service provides short-term mental health consultation and treatment and collaborates directly with your child’s medical team. If you are interested in seeing a provider, please ask your medical team for a referral.

Diagnosis & Treatment

To determine the cause of your child's symptoms, we offer an array of diagnostic tests, such as:

• Thorough medical history, family history, and physical examination
• Skin testing for environmental allergies
• Pulmonary function testing for asthmatics
• Blood tests to evaluate immune system function

We offer a wide range of treatments for children with allergies and immunodeficiencies and customize our treatment approach to your child's specific medical condition. Our therapies may include:

• The latest and most effective corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medications for patients with asthma)
• Bronchodilators to ease breathing
• Immunotherapy (allergy shots and under-the-tongue treatments), which can help your child develop a tolerance to allergens
• Antihistamines

If an environmental source is triggering the allergy, we explore ways you can control or eliminate the allergen.
