Latitude Food Allergy Care Expands Access by Opening Third Clinic in New York
Latitude Food Allergy Care Expands to Westchester County
Latitude Food Allergy Care, a prominent network of clinics dedicated to addressing food allergies, has recently unveiled its third clinic in the New York region, now located in Westchester County. This new establishment aims to improve the accessibility of food allergy treatments, especially for the estimated 16,000 residents in the area dealing with this increasingly common issue.
Dr. Zoya Treyster, who has over 15 years of experience in the field of allergy and immunology, leads the Westchester clinic’s clinical team. In her own words, Dr. Treyster emphasizes the importance of early intervention for effective food allergy management, particularly from her perspective as a mother of a child with food allergies. Her commitment to providing comprehensive care is evident, as she recalls the challenges encountered in accessing oral immunotherapy locally.
Food allergies represent a significant public health concern, with their prevalence continuing to rise across the United States. Despite the growing demand for effective treatment options, access remains a critical challenge. Families often find themselves on lengthy waiting lists or traveling considerable distances to seek specialized care. Latitude Food Allergy Care seeks to bridge this service gap, ensuring timely and appropriate care for patients.
The Westchester clinic provides a comprehensive range of services including advanced diagnostic testing and individualized treatment plans that cater to the diverse needs of patients. Treatments offered may involve various evidence-based approaches such as oral immunotherapy (OIT), sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), and Xolair, all aimed at empowering patients to lead more unrestricted lives.
The newly opened clinic's temporary location at 800 Westchester Avenue in Rye Brook is now welcoming patients. The establishment is poised to provide crucial support to families, allowing them to book appointments conveniently, thus avoiding the traditional delays associated with food allergy care. As families navigate these challenges, Latitude’s expansion signifies a tangible step toward alleviating the burdens that food allergies impose.
"Food allergy care should be accessible to everyone," states Kimberley Yates, co-founder and CEO of Latitude Food Allergy Care. She reflects on the organization’s mission to extend its reach across the U.S. to assist more individuals in overcoming their food allergies.
Latitude Food Allergy Care first opened its doors in 2018, born from the personal experiences of its founders who faced the trials of food allergies within their own families. Currently operating seven clinics, Latitude continues to expand its footprint, offering families enhanced freedom and control over their dietary choices while ensuring the safety and health of those impacted by food allergies.
For those interested in booking an appointment or seeking further information, they can reach the clinic via email at info@latitudefoodallergycare.com or call (914) 898-9575. The Westchester location aims to evolve even further, with plans to shift to a permanent office in White Plains later this spring.
With a dedication to providing world-class care in collaboration with most PPO insurance and various HMO plans, Latitude is set to redefine food allergy treatment and support, aiming for a future where individuals can embrace varied food experiences free from anxiety.
