“10/10 best specialist I’ve seen. Very comprehensive, never felt rushed and felt like I had someone who cared a lot about solving my health challenges.”
Lauren H.November 4, 2025
“This was the first time I went to an allergist and felt seen. Dr Ellman spent easily over an hour with me, didn’t feel the need to run unnecessary tests, didn’t feel the need to do tests that she didn’t feel comfortable with and spoke to me on my level, with empathy. Emphatically I will recommend Dr Ellman to anyone looking for an allergist in NYC ”
