WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT DR. O’CONNOR, by Liseetsa Mann
Please WELCOME Dr. Maeve O’Conner from CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA to our OIT Desensitization Directory!
I am still flying high from our conversation last night. Dr. O’Connor’s started offering OIT at the end of last year and now has four locations. She is a full-service OIT allergist desensitizing to many allergens already to accommodate her patients’ needs. Her bedside manner goes like this, “Let me tell you what I want to do. Then you tell me what you would like to happen. Then we will work on a plan together.”
I will list her qualifications, but what you will not glean from her formal achievements is her “Embrace the Moment” attitude and unique approach to treating the individual patient as a whole. She has a psychiatrist, nutritionist, acupuncturist, and even a yoga instructor in her circle of helpers. She is incredibly involved with the community and travels across the United States to encourage new allergists and visit with more experienced allergists. Recently, she spoke with a group of 120 school nurses regarding food allergies, component testing and desensitization (OIT). “Nurses often get the short end of the stick and are not given the real science of managing allergies and health issues.” As expected, most school nurses have never heard of OIT, even those with children of their own who have food allergies. “I didn’t know you could do that?” Dr. O’Connors response, “Sure we can!”
In 2010, Carrie Rhodes Babin told me about this incredibly vibrant allergist in North Carolina who told her all about OIT but couldn’t help her due to being in a practice with others who resisted the idea. Carrie told me to “watch for her” because this doctor is going to do “amazing” things. And Carrie has been around the allergist-scene for over a decade with her son who is currently still persevering through milk OIT. “She needs to break free and do her own thing.” Well she has and I’m certain you will appreciate and adore her like her current patients and those of us who have been fortunate enough to share a part of her busy day.
