Schweta R. Arakali, MD

I am a graduate of the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Internal Medicine Residency Program. I am dual board certified in Internal Medicine and Allergy and Immunology and earned my medical degree at Jefferson Medical College, now known as Sidney Kimmel Medical College. I see both adult and pediatric patients for the evaluation, treatment and management of allergic and non‑allergic asthma, nasal and ocular allergies, exercise‑induced asthma, sinusitis, food and pet allergies, allergic skin conditions such as contact dermatitis, eczema, urticaria (hives) and angioedema, stinging insect allergy, drug‑induced allergy and immunodeficiencies.

During fellowship, my primary focus of study was tree nut food allergies and food allergies in South Asians. I have presented my work at the national conferences of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) and am the first author of a peer‑reviewed food allergy publication in the Annals of Allergy and Asthma, Allergy.

I grew up in Upper Macungie and am excited to be back working in my hometown. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, my husband and my miniature poodle, Elsa.
