Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy, Immunology and Sleep Medicine

The Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy, Immunology and Sleep Medicine Division at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, is the largest in New York and one of the largest such divisions in the nation. Our main offices are on the campus of Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. In addition, our physicians care for patients in a network of outreach offices throughout the region. All of our physicians are full-time faculty at New York Medical College and on the medical staff of Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. We are dedicated to patient care, research and education.

Our pediatric pulmonologists, allergists and sleep specialists diagnose and care for more than 12,000 children each year with a wide variety of respiratory problems, including allergies, asthma, sleep problems and complex pulmonary disorders. Our patients are at the heart of our practice. We strive to provide each of our patients and their families with personalized care and excellent customer service.

Continuity of Care

We understand the importance of receiving care from the same provider at each appointment, and strive to offer this type of individualized care for our patients. We also work closely to coordinate care and share information with any other providers your child may see, including his or her primary care provider, to ensure your child receives the most appropriate care at all times.

Our Innovation and Research

Our division is very active in clinical research, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis. If you’d like to learn more about our clinical trials, please contact us at 914.493.7585.
