About Me
I’m a physician who specializes in allergy and immunology, and I’m also a board certified pediatrician. I see adults and children with a variety of diseases ranging from environmental, food and medication allergies to asthma, skin disorders and immune system problems. I enjoy helping patients identify and manage multiple types of allergies, including food allergies, medication allergies and environmental allergies (allergic rhinitis). I’m also interested in treating allergic skin reactions such as eczema and chronic hives in addition to immune system problems such as recurrent infections.
Our immune system is an incredible and sometimes underappreciated part of the human body! I help patients whose immune systems are misbehaving. This may come in the form of an over-reaction (hypersensitivity or allergy) to the environment, foods, insects and medication, or underperforming such as in immunodeficiency. I work with my patients to understand when certain allergy tests can be useful and when they aren’t, and find ways to manage these conditions with both medication and non-medication therapies.
By working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I feel incredibly fortunate to be joining the team that helped train me in a department with a national reputation for excellence. From the providers who are field experts and incredible educators, to the nurses, clinical and administrative staff who ensure the department runs smoothly, it’s truly the people who make this institution great. As a new faculty member, I’m excited to become more involved with the medical center and the Ohio State College of Medicine, particularly with the Allergy Immunology Fellowship and opportunities to teach medical students, residents and fellows.
When I attended medical school, I participated in clinical research projects and learned from wonderful mentors. Going forward, I’m interested in conducting more research on how allergy tests are being used and perceived for conditions such as food allergy. So far, this has included surveying patients and caregivers about their perceptions of oral food challenges and reviewing ordering practices for blood allergy tests among allergists and community providers. I have also presented and published in areas such as quality improvement as well as immunodeficiency disorders.
In my free time, my husband and I love exploring new restaurants and metro parks in the Columbus area and cheering on our alma mater, Notre Dame. I also enjoy running and completed my first marathon in 2019. I especially love to travel, my last trip before the pandemic was to Australia to visit my sister who lives in Melbourne and I hope to return in the future.

Dr Kraft is very good at making sure I have the information I needed for my health issues.

At this particular visit I feel like Dr Kraft finally listened to what I was saying. For weeks I've been breaking out with blisters. Dr Kraft Express that they look like bug bites to her. So finally at this visit we're treating them not as bug bites that is some sort of reaction from one of my prescription drugs.
The way she explains is so thorough and direct. I have a hard time understanding ppl so it was nice for a change.
