Dr. Paris is certified by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. He is also affiliated with the faculty of LSU Health New Orleans as an associate professor of pediatrics in the Department of Allergy and Immunology. When asked why he continues to practice medicine, Dr. Paris replied, "It allows me to train the next generation of physicians while treating patients and building relationships with their families. I know that educating patients and parents about their disease can lead to better overall health and quality of life. Many of our patients have allergic conditions, and I particularly enjoy working with families who have children with food allergies. Food allergies can affect people of all ages, and I believe in my responsibility to help children and families with this potentially life-threatening disease. I am also proud to lead our clinical team in caring for patients with various types of primary immunodeficiency. Our Jeffrey Modell Diagnostic Center is one of the few centers in the United States that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of these rare diseases. Staying at the forefront of research and education about these diseases is a promise our team makes to all of our patients and their families.
