Dr. Robert Tamayev

Dr. Robert Tamayev, MD, PhD, is a board-certified allergist and immunologist specializing in both adult and pediatric Allergy and Immunology. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and Chemistry at Fordham University, then earned both his MD and his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He completed his Internal Medicine residency and his Allergy and Immunology fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center.

Dr. Tamayev is board-certified in Internal Medicine and is a member of the American Medical Society, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI), and the New York Allergy and Asthma Society (NYAAS).

He manages a wide spectrum of allergic diseases — perennial and seasonal allergies, asthma, food allergies, eczema, hives (urticaria), contact dermatitis, sinusitis (with or without nasal polyps), drug allergies, and eosinophilic esophagitis — as well as a broad range of immune deficiencies. He has a particular interest in treating asthma with a goal of minimizing steroids by using targeted therapies including monoclonal antibodies.

Dr. Tamayev believes in working in partnership with his patients and their referring physicians to formulate individualized plans — whether that means prescribing medication, implementing environmental control measures, or performing allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual tablets).

Dr. Tamayev sees patients in English and Russian.
