Background

Jonathan Spergel, MD, PhD, works with patients and families to find the most holistic treatment options available. He identifies therapies that help patients manage or overcome their conditions, so they can enjoy being kids. It is important to him to find the right solutions that offer the fewest side effects and increase the quality of life of his patients.

Dr. Spergel’s specialty is allergy and immunology. His clinical interests include food allergy, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease, and eczema (atopic dermatitis). He is especially interested in the link between these conditions.

Dr. Spergel participates in active clinical and translational trials on food allergy, eczema, and eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease. In his research, he examines the natural history of these conditions and explores new therapies. He examines biomarkers that can lead to the development of each condition. His goal is to optimize care and therapy to improve the lives of patients.
