Today was a great day—even in the midst of the busy pace of clinic! In addition to caring for patients, I spent the afternoon laying the foundation for some exciting new changes coming in 2026.

I’m especially grateful to Dr. Alice Hoyt of the Hoyt Institute of Food Allergy (located right in my old neighborhood in Metairie, Louisiana⚜️) for graciously sharing her experiences with me during precious family time. Her institute provides evidence-based, family-centered food allergy care, with expertise in advanced diagnostics, oral and sublingual immunotherapy, and comprehensive education for patients and families. Dr. Hoyt has built a practice that truly sets the bar for thoughtful, innovative food allergy management. Gosh, Louisiana is so lucky to have her!

As I look ahead to 2026, I’m intentionally raising my benchmarks for excellence—committing to innovation, compassion, and truly exceptional outcomes for the patients and families we serve.

Our specialty is filled with collaborative, generous allergists, and I’m continually grateful for this sense of community—even among colleagues who begin as strangers.

To my friends in Louisiana - if you’re looking for a trusted, high-quality resource for food allergy care, Dr. Hoyt and her team in Metairie have so much to offer. Many thanks to Dr. Hoyt

🐪 Happy Wednesday! What a beautiful day to serve the most wonderful patients! What we do in the office is completely life-changing!

I saw a patient yesterday who has been free from sinus infections for almost a year, feels great on almost no medication, with nasal and sinus symptoms that used to be completely debilitating are now resolved. His allergies are completely controlled with immunotherapy, and he couldn’t be happier!

We have new patient appointments available as soon as next week! The best way to request an appointment is through our website.

I’m posting a little late because we spent a busy Veterans Day serving our patients.

As Veterans, both Dr. Aukstuolis and I know that service comes in many forms. What began in uniform has evolved into caring for our community every day — listening, healing, and helping people feel better and improve their quality of life.

Honoring all who served — in every capacity — yesterday, today, and always. ❤️🤍💙

Dr. Aukstuolis and I were very fortunate to participate in a hands-on rhinoscopy training course earlier today at the Annual Meeting. It was an incredible opportunity to learn directly from some of the most experienced allergists in nasal endoscopy, who are true pioneers in our specialty.

Rhinoscopy provides an invaluable, real-time view of the nasal passages and upper airway — enhancing our ability to evaluate chronic nasal congestion, nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, persistent cough, structural abnormalities, etc. that impact airway function.

We’re excited to bring this advanced technique to our practice next year, further refining our diagnostic precision and elevating patient care through visualization and direct assessment.

2026 is not ready for us!!👃

Thoroughly enjoying the ACAAI Annual Meeting in Orlando this week. It has been an inspiring experience filled with valuable learning about emerging therapeutics, advances in allergy care, and practical pearls for optimizing practice management.

What stands out most is the incredible sense of community within our specialty—meeting so many talented and generous Allergist Immunologists who openly share their expertise, welcome colleagues into their practices, and model true collaboration. It has also been wonderful reconnecting with longtime friends and meeting exceptional fellows who represent a bright and promising future for our field.

The future of Allergy and Immunology feels both exciting and full of possibility.🌱

Expressing so much gratitude to Dr. Aukstuolis, Dr. Eghrari, and our amazing team both in and out of the office for the amazing care they provide, especially when I’m away from the office working on my own professional development.

Over the next 3 days, I am experiencing a complete immersion in professional development, mindset work, learning and growth with so many amazing and inspiring physician CEOs at the annual 💕

And how lucky am I that my amazing experience started at the airport and breakthroughs were already happening on the plane!🙏✈️

Being a physician entrepreneur is something I’m so passionate about because our patients (and our entire community) deserve the very best in healthcare, and without a doubt, our practice delivers that.

New patient appointments are available as soon as next week!! Go to the website 📲 kaufmanallergy.com to request an appointment. You deserve the very best, and we can help you!

Happy ! ✨☕

Mondays feel a whole lot brighter with a hot cup of coffee and a mission worth waking up for. Grateful for the fuel, the focus, and the community that makes the journey of building something bigger than myself so meaningful.

Here’s to starting the day (and the week!) with energy, purpose, and a little caffeine-powered joy. 💼☕💡

A friend recently told me about the most nagging cough that her husband had been struggling with at night. His cough was not only disruptive to him, but was also interfering with her sleep as well.🫩🥱 At first, it was assumed that it could be something structural, but the reality is that a cough at night can come from so many different places.

Sometimes, night cough can be from reflux, even without the classic heartburn symptoms. Sometimes it’s a presentation of cough variant asthma, and that’s without ever hearing wheezing. One of the most common reasons? Post-nasal drip - which could be allergic or non-allergic. Even without an obvious reason, these are the most common underlying causes.

The hardest part is not knowing what’s really behind it. When symptoms don’t make sense, it’s easy to feel stuck—tired, frustrated, and unsure of what to try next.

That’s where we come in. At Kaufman Allergy Asthma & Immunology, we help kids and adults get to the root of symptoms like these. We listen carefully, we investigate thoroughly with testing that’s easily done in the office, and we create a plan that brings real relief.

Because when you know the “why,” you can finally find the “how” to feel better.

Our goal is simple: to help reduce the symptoms that are nagging, annoying and disruptive, and improve the quality of life that everyone clearly deserves.😴

Time to say goodbye to endless guessing, and restore the nights of restful sleep! There are answers—and we are happy to help you find them here.
