Dr. Vallen is so intelligent and approachable. She spends so much time understanding symptoms and explaining the process. The entire staff from Lydia up front to all of the nurses are kind, friendly, and well-trained. I drove over an hour and a half for my appointment and I’m SO glad I did - I finally feel like I’m in good hands.

New England Food Allergy Treatment Center changed our lives. The staff was incredible, patient, and always responsive when we needed adjusted plans due to being sick or missing days. My son loved the days he got to go into the office. He starts school this year and it is such a relief he completed this program before starting. We're forever grateful to NEFATC and its staff!

This is probably the best gift an allergic kid can get from his family! After going thorough this treatment you get to control the allergy instead of allowing the allergy to control your life. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!! Very patient doctors and nurses. The whole team understood our needs and life style and adjusted the treatment to support it. You won't regret it, it is the right thing to do!

The process of treating allergy with imunotherapy was nothing short of a miracle so we are so glad we went here. But be careful. They are very serious about their mask wearing policy. 5 stars for medical treatment and most of the staff was great.
