Kaufman Allergy Asthma and Immunology

"Dr Kaufman is the absolute best! I wish I could see her for all of my medical concerns. I’ve seen close to 10 doctors over the last 4 years for my condition and she was able to figure out the main cause of my problems and help me. I fly in from another state to see her and two of my family members are going to do the same because of my results with her. She is one of the most knowledgeable medical professionals I’ve ever met. She spent a lot of time listening to me and explaining everything so I could understand. Highly recommend!"

"Just don't go anywhere else. At least go here first if you have any inflamatory symptoms anywhere in your body including your respiratory and digestive systems, and joints. I have had symptoms in these areas all my life and have been treated symptomatically for each when they got worse without having a real diagnosis of a root problem. After a surgery, these systems basically shut down and I was immobilized with a pulse rate as if I was in a race. I went to pulmonary, cardiology, GI, neurology, endocrinology specialists. None could find the problem. Immunology was just about all that was left. Dr. Karen Kaufman and her staff took all the time they needed to do a thorough evaluation of my full medical history and came up with a diagnosis that has changed my life. MCAS A diagnosis that took it down to the cellular level- not a symptom. With simple treatment, all my systems are functioning better than ever in my whole life. Go here first. She will tell you if you need to go somewhere else, honestly. She is whole body. Thank you."

"Extremely impressed with the professionalism of the entire office. It's hard to find great front desk staff and MAs and they've been extremely responsive and nice. Dr. Kaufman was extremely knowledgable, empathetic, and systematic in diagnostic plans. Highly recommend!"

"This review is overdue, since my family and I have been patients of Dr. Kaufman’s coming up on a year now. We are a military family always having to seek out new doctors and specialists with each relocation, and I can attest with certainty that we have never found had an allergist as thorough and attentive as Dr. Kaufman. I am consistently impressed with her handling my kids’ food-allergies, and food-allergy anxieties. Questions are answered quickly and in detail; I find it borderline astonishing how easy it is to make contact with Dr. K with a concern or request for advice. In addition, her office is scrupulously clean and we’ve been happy to work with every member of the staff there. I’ve been seeing doctors for my kids’ allergies for seven years now and I’m learning things about them for the first time at this office, because of the time she takes to break medical explanations down for me. As an aside, my kids and I began this allergy journey in California with another food-allergy family with whom we shared our struggles and stories, as well as the same allergist. Both families have since relocated to DC and we both (independently) found Dr. Kaufman. Knowing my friend’s high standards, and knowing mine, it makes me feel good to feel as though we’ve come full circle and landed in the hands of someone with such a high bar of expertise."

"I began seeing Dr. Kaufman after a very poor experience at a different allergist that led to a lot of anxiety around allergy shots. Her bedside manner and extreme responsiveness to any concerns I’ve had have calmed my nerves. Because she takes her time and ensures you don’t leave with any lingering questions, it can be expected to occasionally wait a few minutes for your appointment. I believe that any truly good doctor will usually have a short wait, and sometimes a longer wait. The nurses at this practice are extremely friendly, and the shot nurse is amazing! I never even feel the injections. You can tell that Dr. Kaufman has been intentional in forming her new practice with the right personalities and creating an environment that she would want her own family to experience. She’s always been very personable with the children I’ve seen coming and going from the office. I cannot recommend a better allergist in the area!"
