Deborah Accetta Pedersen

Dr. Pedersen spent vacations as a child “working” at the front desk of Allergy and Asthma Care (she mostly ate donuts and played with the copier). After high school she spent the next 14 years moving around the country for college, medical school, and specialty training in pediatrics and then allergy and immunology. In 2011, after all of the moving she came home both to the Boston area and to Allergy & Asthma Care.

Dr. Pedersen is board certified in Allergy and Immunology as well as pediatrics. She has published articles on latex allergy and immune deficiency disease in children and has presented at several allergy and immunology national meetings. Her special interests include food allergy, asthma and immune deficiency. She currently serves on the boards of the New England Society of Allergy and the Massachusetts Allergy and Asthma Society. She speaks fluent Spanish and has done public health work in Bolivia.

In her free time, she likes to exercise, travel, garden, and run around after her 2 children. She has had first hand experience with food allergy and eczema as a mother. She no longer works the front desk at the office but she sill enjoys donuts occasionally.
