Eric S. Applebaum, MD, FACAAI
I had a longstanding interest in how the immune system works. Allergy and immunology was a way to pursue my interest in caring for patients. I also enjoyed the idea of specializing: becoming an expert in one area rather than trying to remain competent in all areas as a generalist. I was interested in seeing patients of all ages, especially multiple family members. I wanted to make a difference in patients’ lives and help with illnesses often ignored by other physicians. I mostly enjoy seeing how much better patients feel and how quickly they realize that they have been suffering unnecessarily for such very long periods of time. I treat patients like intelligent people capable of understanding their conditions and the treatment options available. I treat patients the way I want to be treated when I have to see a doctor. I want my patients to know that there are no hopeless cases. I am their advocate in every way they need me for their allergic problems. I take it as a personal challenge to help them live better.
When not working, Dr. Applebaum enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters, traveling, watching pro basketball, reading, and cooking.
