About Dr. Atul Shah: Testimonials

Dr. Shah Interview with Donna Drake

Food Allergy Success Story: Cameron

Success Videos

-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 have desensitized 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.
-Arman

I cannot write enough about Dr. Shah and his team. If I had to sum everything up in two words, it would be LIFE SAVERS. For anyone who is skeptical, I just want them to imagine what would happen if their child kissed someone who had just eaten nuts. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Do what's right for your child and your family. Start the treatment.
- Patrick C

After 33 years of being deathly allergic to peanuts I’m finally free of the burden. I can eat with confidence and not have that constant worry. Dr. Shah and team go above and beyond to make the process as simple as possible.
- Chris S.

“Dr. Shah and his staff are the best! They are caring and always available to answer questions. He has changed my daughter's life who had an anaphylactic reaction to tree nuts.
- John R.

I have been to several allergists in the NYC metro area, including some major academic food allergy Institutes. There is no other allergist I would trust to figure out and get through this food allergy nightmare than Dr. Shah. He has changed our lives. We are forever grateful

Frequently Asked Questions

The best treatment for a food allergy currently involves allergen avoidance and, in some cases, desensitization therapies such as Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) and Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT). These therapies aim to increase the patient's tolerance to the allergen over time. Source: American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI)
At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, Dr. Atul Shah specializes in OIT and SLIT, offering personalized treatment plans to help patients achieve "Food Allergy Freedom." With over 15,000 success stories, our FATE™ program is designed to guide you to new beginnings.
There is no "fast" way to get rid of food allergies. The process of desensitization through treatments like OIT and SLIT can take months or even years, and these methods do not "get rid of" allergies but aim to increase tolerance. Source: Mayo Clinic
At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, we understand that managing food allergies requires patience and dedication. Our FATE™ program provides comprehensive support to help patients gradually desensitize to allergens, aiming for a life of freedom beyond avoidance.
Yes, researchers are actively working on potential cures for food allergies. This includes various clinical trials and studies exploring new treatments and therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. Source: National Institutes of Health (NIH)

NY Food Allergy & Wellness emphasizes that while antihistamines can manage mild symptoms, they are not a substitute for professional treatment. Our FATE™ program offers a comprehensive approach to managing and desensitizing food allergies.
The duration of a food allergic reaction can vary depending on the severity of the reaction and the individual's response. Mild reactions might resolve within a few hours, while more severe reactions could take days to fully subside. Source: Cleveland Clinic
At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, we provide immediate and long-term care plans to manage allergic reactions effectively. Our goal is to ensure that every patient experiences swift relief and progresses towards lasting tolerance.
Food allergens can stay in your system for several hours to a few days. The exact time depends on factors like the amount of allergen consumed and individual metabolic rates. Source: American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI)
