Allergy and Asthma Care of NJ

Allergy and Asthma Care of NJ is an allergist practice in Lakewood, NJ, located at 911 E County Line Rd Suite # 202. The practice provides allergy and asthma treatment for infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Dr. Philip Pasternak, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, leads the clinical team with over 25 years of experience. The office treats a wide range of conditions, including asthma, eczema, food allergies, insect sting allergies, and immune deficiencies. Patients receive care through diagnosis, medication management, and lifestyle guidance to mitigate triggers such as dust mites and pet dander. The practice holds a 5.00 rating based on customer reviews.

The clinical approach begins with a one-on-one consultation where Dr. Pasternak reviews the patient's history and symptoms. New patients are instructed to stop antihistamines three days before their appointment to ensure accurate testing results. Depending on the clinical picture, testing may be performed on the same day. A distinctive feature of the practice is its allergy shot schedule; unlike many other offices that require scheduled appointments for immunotherapy injections, this location offers convenient walk-in hours that allow patients to receive their shots without prior notice. The practice also performs biologic injections, drug or food challenges, patch testing, and pulmonary function tests. Staff members speak English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Yiddish, facilitating communication with a diverse patient base.

The Lakewood office sits on East County Line Road, a main thoroughfare in the area. It is located just a short distance from Squankum Road, which runs nearby. Lakewood High School is approximately 0.4 miles away, while Lakewood Middle School is about 0.7 miles from the practice. The North Branch Metedeconk River flows roughly 0.7 miles from the office, providing a natural landmark in the immediate vicinity.
