Reclaim Confidence and Control Over Food Allergies
Living with food allergies can feel limiting—but it doesn’t have to. At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, we help children, teens, and adults regain confidence, enjoy meals with less fear, and navigate life with greater freedom. Led by Dr. Atul Shah, a nationally recognized allergist with over 20 years of experience and 15,000+ patient success stories, our practice offers care that is both expert and deeply personal.
Here, appointments aren’t rushed. Treatment plans aren’t one-size-fits-all. Instead, you receive attentive, one-on-one care in a calm, luxurious setting designed for comfort and privacy.
Our patients include individuals and families from Manhattan’s most respected neighborhoods—Upper East Side, Sutton Place, Tribeca, Central Park South—as well as Long Island’s Gold Coast communities like Great Neck, Brookville, Locust Valley, and Old Westbury. We have helped families from Westchester, Greenwich, and various states across the country—including California, Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and more —who seek a higher standard of allergy care. Many international patients seek our services due to lack of access to this level of care locally.
At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, the goal isn’t just desensitization—it’s restoring the simple joys that allergies take away. We pride in bringing quality of life back in the lives of food allergy families.

Expert Food Allergy Testing
on the Upper East Side
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.
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.
Expert Food Allergy Testing on the Upper East Side
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 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.
IgE specific to peanut components are very helpful in accurate diagnosis of true peanut allergy compared to false positives due to underlying tree pollen allergy. Ara h 2 and Ara h 6 are considered components with potential for systemic reactions.
Advanced Food Allergy Testing:
Precision Meets Exclusivity
At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, the best food allergy institution, we go beyond standard diagnostics to ensure the most thorough and accurate results for our high-end clientele. Our advanced testing methods include:
Basophil Activation Test (BAT): As noted in Phase 2, BAT provides unparalleled sensitivity for complex cases like peanut allergy, exclusive to our institution.
Skin Prick Testing: A quick method to identify reactions to allergens like dairy or shellfish, conducted with care in our Upper East Side facility.
IgE Blood Tests: Measures specific antibodies to confirm allergies, ensuring a comprehensive diagnosis.
Component-Resolved Diagnostics (CRD): Breaks down allergens into molecular components, offering insights into cross-reactivity and true vs. false positive for peanuts, eggs, milk, sesame, tree-nuts, wheat and many more.
