Comprehensive Allergy Care for Your Children

Pediatric Allergist in New Orleans

Dr. Reena Mehta is a board-certified pediatric allergist in New Orleans that can help your children overcome allergies, asthma, and other immunological conditions.

“I went in to see Dr Mehta for my 4-month-old’s eczema flare ups. Within minutes she knew he had an allergy and we tested for it. Sure enough he did. She was precise, informative, and just reassuring of how to manage his allergy and eczema moving forward. She honestly is the best around. So Happy I saw her when I did.“
