Why Choose Mount Sinai?
The Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology at the Mount Sinai Health System offers state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for allergies and other immune disorders. In fact, we have developed or refined many of the diagnostic tools and treatments routinely used to care for these conditions.
Our experience treating children with allergies shapes the research questions that we explore, which then helps us improve our services. In addition, we share our findings regularly with doctors worldwide through publications in peer-reviewed medical journals.
