Dr. Chaitanya Bodapati is a Paediatric Allergy and Immunology Specialist.
She has experience in the management of food and medication allergy as well
as other atopic conditions (eczema, allergic rhinitis and allergic
conjunctivitis). She also manages eosinophilic oesophagitis and immune
conditions (like immunodeficiency and recurrent fever syndromes). Her
special interests include food allergy, eczema, allergic rhinitis and
eosinophilic oesophagitis. As Chaitanya is also a trained General
Paediatrician she understands how allergy can impact the growth and
development of children and takes a holistic approach to their care. She
understands how stressful and unsettling caring for children suffering from
these conditions can be. She adopts a nurturing, child-focused approach
informed by the latest research and international best practice.
Born in Adelaide, Chaitanya now calls Sydney home. She graduated from
medicine at The University of Adelaide in 2010. She undertook her Paediatric
Immunology and Allergy training at both Sydney Children’s Hospital and The
Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
Given her interest in Eosinophilic Oesophagitis, Chaitanya also undertook
additional training in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at The Children’s
Hospital at Westmead. She is accredited by the Gastroenterological Society
of Australia to perform paediatric endoscopies.
She has been actively involved in food allergy research. She has taken on
the role of sub investigator with large multicentre studies dealing with
food allergy immunotherapy.
