After working with the sickest children in the hospitals in NYC, Dr. Nelli Gluzman found herself driven by the need from parents to help identify the root cause of their child’s illness (instead of relying on the typical "band-aid" solutions). She utilizes an integrative, functional, and holistic approach to medicine in her practice. This approach is one that focuses on the root cause of chronic illness in children, allowing for the complete reversal of symptoms and the elimination of long term conditions.

Her passion for this work comes from her desire to help each child find relief from their illness, allowing them to live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. It is the decade of this work that has fondly earned her the title, ‘Doctor Mom’.

Today she specializes in the atopic triad of eczema, allergies, and asthma and has continually been a featured speaker and writer on this topic plus more. Her love for this work is what drives her to give back to her community and pay the wellness forward. Doctor Mom has been featured with Buzzfeed, TODAY, Pace University and more! Check her out at www.blossompediatrics.com.
