“My son has severe spring allergies and under their care his allergies have improved so much in the past year that he didn’t need to take the daily allergy relief meds.”
Stephanie R.

“She successfully treated my one-year-old’s severe eczema after multiple failed attempts elsewhere, and her thorough evaluation uncovered a rare underlying diagnosis that is often missed for years (EOE).”
★★★★★
“I began seeing Dr. Kaufman after a very poor experience at a different allergist that led to a lot of anxiety around allergy shots. Her bedside manner and extreme responsiveness to any concerns I’ve had have calmed my nerves.”
★★★★★
“Dr. Karen Kaufman and her staff took all the time they needed to do a thorough evaluation of my full medical history and came up with a diagnosis that has changed my life. MCAS — a diagnosis that took it down to the cellular level, not a symptom.”
