WHY CHOOSE

-Jennifer

Dr. Shah has a profound understanding of food allergies and explains the nuances of test results and treatment options in a simple and easy to understand manner. He is clearly devoted to his practice and exudes compassion and empathy for children that have food allergies. I would recommend any parent that has a child with food allergies to consult with Dr. Shah. He is aware of emerging research and therapies, he does not operate from a place of fear but rather from science and common sense. He is amazing and a genius. I also would like to thank his team, particularly Samantha and Robin, for their attention to detail and care. The communication with the office has been phenomenal. Thank you, Dr. Shah, for helping my daughter.
-Allison

Dr. Shah has quite literally changed my son’s life for the better in every way possible. My son was allergic to peanuts, cashews and pistachios, and within a year of starting OIT had become completely desensitized to all of them. He was able to eat freely for the first time and all of his fears surrounding food and eating had disappeared. The entire staff was so warm and supportive throughout the process and made everything feel seamless. Now, almost 8 years later since his first appointment, my son has completely reversed his allergy. OIT really works! If you or a family member suffers from food allergies you should take the time to visit Dr. Shah. He is an intelligent, kind and overall amazing doctor and person. He is one of those rare people who tries to make a positive difference in people’s lives everyday. We feel so fortunate that we were lucky enough to go through the whole OIT process with Dr. Shah.
-Scott

Dr. Shah is quite literally the nicest human and most thorough doctor when it comes to children’s allergies. Dr. Shah and his amazing staff has cured my daughter of her sesame allergy as well as all other tree nuts. This has been a liberating experience for my daughter and our family. The care that Dr. Shah has given to us is unique and makes us feel safe during the entire OIT journey. Anyone who suffers or knows someone that suffers from allergies and/or anxiety of allergies should go see Dr. Shah for options.

Our Testing Methods

Need Free Allergy Skin Tests

Skin prick tests are a quick and effective way to identify specific allergens. During the test, a small amount of allergen is placed on the skin, which is then gently pricked to allow the allergen to enter. Results are typically visible within 15-20 minutes, making it a fast and reliable option. Needle-free tests are ideal for children and needle-phobic patients. Using advanced technology, these tests provide precise results without the discomfort associated with traditional testing methods.

Blood Tests

Blood tests are highly accurate and comprehensive, suitable for all age groups. They measure the presence of specific IgE antibodies in the blood, which can indicate an allergy. This method is particularly useful for patients who cannot undergo skin testing.

Oral Food Challenges (OFC)

Oral Food Challenges are considered the gold standard for diagnosing food allergies. During an OFC, the patient consumes small amounts of the suspected allergen under strict medical supervision to observe any reactions. This method provides definitive results and is conducted with the utmost care and safety.

Basophil Activation Test (BAT)

At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, we are proud to offer the Basophil Activation Test (BAT), a cutting-edge diagnostic tool for identifying food allergies. This advanced test measures the activation of basophils, a type of white blood cell, in response to allergens. The BAT provides highly accurate results and can detect allergic reactions that might not be identified through traditional testing methods.

We are the only certified lab in the region offering the Basophil Activation Test. Our certification ensures that we maintain the highest standards of accuracy and reliability in our testing procedures. By choosing NY Food Allergy & Wellness for your allergy testing needs, you can be confident that you are receiving the most advanced and reliable diagnostics available.

The Basophil Activation Test is particularly useful for patients who have complex allergy profiles or who have not found answers through conventional tests. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing allergy treatments, providing valuable insights for personalized care plans.

Key benefits of the Basophil Activation Test include:

High Accuracy: Detects allergic reactions that may not be visible through skin prick or blood tests.

Comprehensive Analysis: Measures the specific activation of basophils, providing detailed information about allergic responses.

Certified Lab: Conducted in our certified lab, ensuring the highest standards of testing quality and reliability.

If you suspect you have a food allergy and need precise and reliable testing, the Basophil Activation Test at NY Food Allergy & Wellness is an excellent choice. Contact us today to learn more about this innovative test and to schedule your appointment.
