Paul Ehrlich, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
New York University School of Medicine

Voted as one of New York Magazine's "Best Physicians in Pediatric Allergy" for the last six years, Paul Ehrlich, MD, is a leading pediatric asthma specialist and Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at New York University School of Medicine.

Dr. Ehrlich is a graduate of Columbia University and New York University School of Medicine where he earned his B.A. and M.D. degrees, respectively. He trained at Bellevue Hospital in pediatrics and Walter Reed Army Medical Center in allergy and immunology and is boarded in both fields. He served in the United States Navy for four years in Norfolk and the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

Dr. Ehrlich is co-author with Dr. Lawrence Chiaramonte of the book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Your Children's Allergies and Asthma, published by Warner Books. He is also author of many journal papers, most recently appearing in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in April, 2005.

After more than 25 years of treating children struggling with asthma, Dr. Ehrlich strived to help establish a breakthrough, in-school asthma program that would improve the lives of children in New York City, and particularly the underserved community who typically has less access to adequate healthcare. Project E.R.A.S.E. (Eradicating Respiratory Asthma in Schools to help children Excel), is the first program to send asthma specialists into local schools to offer free diagnosis, advice on treatment and continued education to children, parents and educators during the school day.

Over time, Dr. Ehrlich and his medical team hope Project E.R.A.S.E. helps to reduce school absenteeism and emergency room usage in children with asthma to help them excel in and out of the classroom and improve their quality of life.
