Does anyone have a recommendation for any of the allergists at CHOP? Looking at their bios and research publications, I think I've identified a favorite, but looking for opinions.

Egg Baked Challenge (what RAST is okay?) (http://foodallergysupport.olicentral.com/index.php/topic,577.msg1117.html#msg1117)
Allergic, intolerant, or wrong? (http://foodallergysupport.olicentral.com/index.php/topic,9327.0.html)

I'm sure that CHOP has some excellent allergists, but my opinion (FWIW) is that for your situation, I'd recommend going to Sinai or Hopkins.
I don't live far from Philly but was never able to get a real, live person to answer at CHOP ( 9 years ago). I never tried after my attempts back then. We go to Mt. Sinai in NYC.
I live near Philly. We go to Hopkins. Totally worth the drive for us. I think I've given you our drs name before, but if you want it, pm me. He's great and has his own Ofc outside of the hospital. I can get ds in for a food challenge in a matter of weeks at his Ofc rather at Hopkins itself.
We've been there for 3-4 years now. Before that we were at DuPont, but the doc left. I was ready to break up with him anyway. :) I'm happier having ds at a research hospital rather than a teaching hospital. I've found that Research hospitals are more cutting edge and teaching hospitals are more conservative.
My daughter sees Dr. Terri F. Brown-Whitehorn at CHOP. She is fantastic. We've had a great experience at CHOP.
