LATITUDE’S FOOD ALLERGY TREATMENT IS CHANGING LIVES FOR FAMILIES IN MARIN

September 5, 2024

For hundreds of Marin families living with the anxiety of food allergies, Latitude Food Allergy Care in San Rafael has been life-changing. Latitude’s CEO and founder, Kimberley Yates, is a food allergy mom herself, working with an expert clinical team led by board-certified allergists.

Kimberley shares, “Our empathetic patient care is designed by families with first-hand experience of food allergies, offering hope for patients of all ages. We understand the challenges and that is why we’re 100% focused on food allergies.”

Latitude offers comprehensive food allergy testing and life-changing treatment via Oral Immunotherapy (OIT). They also offer the new food allergy treatment XOLAIR® as an extra layer of protection for patients. Latitude accepts insurance and is in-network with most plans.

At Latitude, food allergy care begins with advanced diagnostic testing including oral food challenges, providing a more accurate understanding of a patient's food allergies. In many cases, this may allow families to reintroduce foods that they’d otherwise been avoiding.

Personalized treatment with OIT at Latitude helps desensitize patients, as young as 12 months, to their allergens under careful clinical supervision. At Latitude, 92% of OIT patients successfully achieve desensitization to their food allergies.

Families who’ve worked with Latitude have great things to say about the experience. One mom noted, “We have been so thrilled to have the opportunity to start OIT for our daughter at such a young age and in such a nurturing and wonderful environment. As a physician and a mom, I feel so confident and grateful for the individualized care she is receiving.”

Fatima, mom to Latitude patient Zakaria, compliments Latitude for helping take the worry out of common childhood events. “OIT is giving him a chance to actually live a life where he can go on an airplane and not worry if they’re serving peanuts, or if he goes to a friend’s house and we don’t worry if there are nuts around. We would do anything to give him a life where he can just be free. Latitude is giving us that opportunity.”

If your family is living with food allergies, get in touch with Latitude to make an appointment. If you know a family that is impacted by food allergies (and most of us do!), pass on the good news about food allergy care that’s allergy-mom approved!
