Can anyone reccommend a pediatric allergist? My eleven year old son is desperate to have his eyes stop watering and nose stop running.
Thanks! |

Dr. Alex Gnoy in Westfield is the best! He's great with adults and kids.
908-233-5500
Definitely do a search on the topic. There have been several doctors mentioned over the months... |

consult a nutritionist? Many times a nutritionist will catch something easy to fix, that an allergist will want to spend months and months, and lots of shots and pills, and exploratory tests on. I'm only suggesting a 2nd opinion, that's all, hope you're not offended |

MAS has a point. Could be a nut, wheat or dairy allergy, among many others. |

Dr. Joel Mendelson is an outstanding guy, and sees patients at St. Barnabas (322-7600), Newark Beth Israel, and Mountainside. |

I second Dr. Mendelson. He does not go crazy testing for everything, he's laid back and great with my 5 year old daughter. She has a peanut allergy and I like his "let's not panic and isolate her from the entire world" approach. His new office is in (I think) Mountainside. |

Dr. Donald Perlman has been my allergist for more than 20 years. He's great with kids, really knows what he's doing, and is a member of almost every medical plan around. He's on Old Short Hills Road opposite St. Barnabas. |
