About Dr. Ellen Buchbinder

Dr. Ellen Buchbinder is one of New York's "Top Doctors" in her field of Allergy and Immunology. In her experience as a physician, scholar and musician, Dr. Buchbinder has developed a unique philosophy of caring and compassion for her patients. Dr. Buchbinder's goal is to help patients of all ages, from pre-adolescence through adulthood, enjoy their lives both indoors and outdoors with minimal allergic symptoms. Dr. Buchbinder's practice is entirely devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of allergic disorders, including asthma, nasal and sinus allergy, food allergy, animal dander allergy (e.g. dogs and cats), medication allergy, bee sting allergy, urticaria (hives) and angioedema, eczema and allergic contact dermatitis. By discovering each patient's allergies and hypersensitivities in the consultation and testing phase, Dr. Buchbinder can design an effective treatment plan. A critical part of Dr. Buchbinder's work involves caring for patients who suffer from severe allergic reactions, including allergic pulmonary (lung) disease, allergic skin disease, and allergic nasal and sinus disease. By detecting the allergic components in serious illnesses, Dr. Buchbinder can dramatically improve her patients' quality of life. Very often these factors are previously unsuspected and undiagnosed. Each patient presents a unique variety of allergic responses. Dr. Buchbinder uses her extensive expertise to create a successful customized treatment plan for each individual patient. She continues to distinguish herself by incorporating all the most recent advances in the field into her work. She is interested, motivated and challenged to solve unique and individual allergic problems.
