Our allergy clinic provides a number of diagnostic test and evaluations to help children with a variety of allergy problems. We also see young patients with recurrent infections and other problems related to immune deficiency.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis Clinic
The multidisciplinary Eosinophilic Esophagitis Clinic at Cleveland Clinic Children's brings together a team of experts including Pediatric Gastroenterology, Pediatric Allergy, and Pediatric Nutrition to evaluate and treat your child following diagnosis with Eosinophilic Esophagitis. During your office visit, expertise from each subspecialty will occur over a 2 hour appointment with treatment that is individualized to your child. Communication and patient-focused care is at the core of our clinic, with the convenience of meeting the providers in one location. Cleveland Clinic's Pediatric Gastroenterology Program is nationally ranked and the top ranked gastroenterology division in Northeast Ohio.
Food Allergy Center
The Food Allergy Center of Excellence is dedicated to helping diagnose, manage and possibly treat the food allergy of our pediatric and adult patients in a caring environment.
Immunohematology & Immune Dysregulation Clinic
Inborn error of immunity disorders are caused by congenital (genetic) defects in your child's immune response. This happens when errors in your child's genetic code give them a defective immune system. This could mean they can easily get infections, autoimmune or autoinflammatory problems and allergy and skin issues. They also have a greater chance to develop conditions like cancer. The Immunohematology & Immune Dysregulation Clinic provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of all types of inborn error of immunity disorders.
