Looking for a doctor who is knowledgeable about alpha-gal syndrome? You have come to the right place. Dr. Roberts taught full-day Integrative Approaches to Allergy classes for years, lecturing to thousands of other providers nationwide. In 2013, her eldest daughter was diagnosed with anaphylactic alpha-gal syndrome, giving the doctor firsthand experience with the allergy. Today, alpha-gal syndrome is one of the most common conditions for which patients seek her care.
