Dr. Tamayev's (M.D., Ph.D.) Allergy and Immunology Clinic

Brett Baron-Marianetti

After 15 years of a slow progression of diagnoses from SIBO to Lupus to MCTD, I was tired of severely limiting my diet and still needing antibiotics and steroids to treat the fever, pain and other terribles from intestinal infections which were accompanied by swelling in my mouth, mouth lesions and biting my swollen tongue. My gastroenterologist told me basically I'd just have to live with it as there were too many food reactions to eliminate all problematic foods. I told him I was going to see an allergist the moment I left his office which he said was worth a try. A subway ride later, I asked Dr Tamayev if he could do skin testing for foods. He suggested testing for everything and explained cross reactivity to me. A couple months and many allergy shots later and I have no pain, no fevers, no petichiae dotting my arms, and I am slowly able to include more foods in my diet. ALL of my previous doctors acted as if blood testing were the gold standard for food reactions (and never discussed cross reactivity). Clearly, it's not. Thank you to Dr. Tamayev and his amazingly happy staff. They clearly love what they do, and each other.

Dr. Tamayev is awesome! A friendly and knowledgeable professional in every way! Highly recomme3dnd speaking to him as to any allergy need. he is able to provide more useful information in 30 seconds on the phone than most doctors do in an entire visit. And he's easy to get a fairly last minute appointment with, provided you BOOK ONLINE. Tip form experience: However, avoid calling the Astoria location like the plague! Worst receptionists ever! Rude, obnoxious and clueless. Couldn't answer whether the doctor sees children without putting me on hold. Then, asked which insurance I had and again put me on hold. Asked stupid questions that don't relate to my insurance. Ultimately, hung up on me after I pointed out that I had already checked that he was in-network on Zocdoc, after I suggested that I could have made the appointment on there but figured I would call in, as that would save them money and make sure the doctor was available. Her last words were to the effect of 'well go there then'. All I had wanted was an appointment for an allergy consult for a10 month old. Instead, she wound me up to a point where I need to go meditate somewhere!
