Dr. Kaufman and Elaine McSorley-Gerard, NP, are unparalleled in their ability to educate and translate into layman's terms exactly what they're seeing and planning with detail so the issue and treatment plan are clear and make sense to the patient. I feel safe, heard, informed, and well-treated!

This is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. I have *literally* never had a doctor spend so much time with me, ask so many questions and truly listen to everything I had to say. I also found her to be exceptionally knowledgeable, easy to ask questions and caring.

My allergies are the best controlled they've been in my entire life. They began at age 4 and are severe. Dr. Kaufman has a great bedside manner and created a shot regimen with other as needed medications that have allowed me to get my life back! I can finally breathe! I haven't needed my inhaler in 2 years. Highly recommend!

I was very impressed with Dr. Kaufman. She and her staff were so kind. I drove an hour based on a referral by my POTS NP as she specializes in helping POTS patients. I haven’t really thought I suffered from a lot of allergies but was surprised to find an allergen has been contributing to my sleep issues which no one has been able to help me with yet. I also liked that she was environmentally conscious and had patient forms lamented to reduce waste. Just add additional time for your first appt as it went longer than anticipated. Thank you so much!

The.Best.Allergy/Asthma Physician.Ever!! I was very sick for several years before seeing Dr. Kaufman. It only took 1 appointment & 1 follow-up appointment to diagnose & treat me. Dr. Kauffman is Pro-active, Dedicated, Affable, A Great Listener, Compassionate, with High Acumen. And, she explains everything in simple terms people can understand. Her staff is great, as well! I only wish I found Dr. Kaufman sooner!

Dr Kaufman is wonderful! She is kind, compassionate, and listens. She was able to find the issue in only one visit after I’d been struggling for years. I’ve recommended my own patients to her. Totally worth the wait to see her!

Dr. Eghrari-Sabet is incredibly thorough and is a very effective scientific communicator. My appointments with her have been efficient and detailed; she is truly a fantastic and knowledgeable doctor. I'm really glad I've found this office as a patient with multiple chronic illnesses and a "complicated" medical history.

Dr. Kaufman is the best allergist hands down. The practice is a well-oiled machine and if you need to ask a question the staff are all medical professionals so you'll get a good answer as you wait for the doctor's response. I had seen an allergist in Philly for 7 years and needed to get a new one after moving to the area, I'm so lucky to have found Dr. Kaufman. Knowledgeable and empathetic, she has even helped me get to the bottom of non-allergy issues I have! The practice is very organized, clean, and everyone is super nice. I have never had a long wait for a doctor appointment (which is always frustrating when doctors ask you to come early and make you wait). I have had countless doctors in my life and I can confidently say that this practice is the best experience of them all.

We had a wonderful experience with this practice. Check-in was easy and we completed forms online. My child did not have to wait long to be seen for the visit. Dr. Eghrari-Sabet was friendly, thorough in her assessment, an active listener, and validated my concerns. I felt heard and felt confident about her skills and expertise. She created a detailed treatment plan and provided next steps with follow-up. I liked being able to have access to her notes via the online portal. Definitely recommend!!!!

I've been seeing Dr Kaufman for almost a year now and I'm amazed at how excellent the care is having her as a provider. She is very compassionate and willing to try to get down to the bottom of your immune and allergy issues. She was able to diagnose me with a disorder that other drs seem to have a hard time diagnosing or know little about. She listens and validates her patients and goes above and beyond to make sure you feel heard and know that your in safe hands. Medical gaslighting is real but you will not experience that with this particular Dr. I never leave reviews but I had to share this experience!

I took my 9-year-old son to see Dr. Kaufman for his severe seasonal allergies. She was very friendly and explained things in a way that he and I could both understand. She walked us through the testing and explained the immunotherapy process. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kaufman.

Dr. Kaufman and her staff were awesome! They took their time really trying to understand my allergy struggles, and got me started on testing same day. From a quick environmental test to the week long allergy testing, they were polite, caring, and professional. They really care about getting you results! On top of that, the office hours are really accommodating. I was able to get 7am appointments.

Dr. Kaufman is a very good doctor. She will go into details about your allergies. She is very helpful when I did not know much about why my allergies were getting worse and she took the opportunity to listen and answer all my concerns about asthma.

My husband and I are patients of Dr. Kaufman and we cannot say enough great things about her. She is a wonderful, caring, thoughtful doctor who consistently goes above and beyond to offer her patients care. She takes time during appointments, really listening to her patient's concerns. She is available via email, even on weekends and evenings, which is another sign of her patient dedication. We wish we could see Dr. Kaufman for all of our ailments, since she is a true and rare gem!

Wanted to share with others that Dr. Kaufman was knowledgeable, thorough, approachable, caring and thoughtful in that appointment. She invested a lot of time in making sure that no questions were left unanswered before the appointment was over. Thank you Dr. Kaufman for your thoughtful and considerate approach - it was immediately apparent that it is instinctive for you - but it was immensely helpful and very much appreciated.

Dr. Kaufman is amazing! She is caring, knowledgeable and thorough. Her office is beautiful and her team made our visit seamless starting with the first phone call. She made allergy testing a 15 month old look easy! Thank you Dr. Kaufman!

Dr. Kaufman is an AMAZING doctor/professor! She takes the necessary time to explain what your condition is and all the various methods of proper treatment. Her bedside manner and demeanor eliminate any reservations one might have for seeing a specialist. Doctors with her inherent skills restore confidence and are a true example of what the medical profession strives to achieve! She is truly one of the very BEST!!

This review is overdue, since my family and I have been patients of Dr. Kaufman’s coming up on a year now. We are a military family always having to seek out new doctors and specialists with each relocation, and I can attest with certainty that we have never found had an allergist as thorough and attentive as Dr. Kaufman. I am consistently impressed with her handling my kids’ food-allergies, and food-allergy anxieties. Questions are answered quickly and in detail; I find it borderline astonishing how easy it is to make contact with Dr. K with a concern or request for advice. In addition, her office is scrupulously clean and we’ve been happy to work with every member of the staff there.
I’ve been seeing doctors for my kids’ allergies for seven years now and I’m learning things about them for the first time at this office, because of the time she takes to break medical explanations down for me.
As an aside, my kids and I began this allergy journey in California with another food-allergy family with whom we shared our struggles and stories, as well as the same allergist. Both families have since relocated to DC and we both (independently) found Dr. Kaufman. Knowing my friend’s high standards, and knowing mine, it makes me feel good to feel as though we’ve come full circle and landed in the hands of someone with such a high bar of expertise.
