We're very happy with Dr. Wood at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore City. It really isn't that far away from Northern Virginia, DC or any part of Maryland. If you plan your appointments, you might even miss "rush hour" (which seems to be 24 hours!).
Really, no kidding, Johns Hopkins Hospital is people friendly--all departments seem to go out of their way to help make the visit as seamless as possible. They provide help with directions, parking, etc. and are very detailed with their instructions. Dr. Wood is ever so helpful in quickly providing whatever the school requires (even if the paperwork seems redundant). He returns calls, has all the patience to answer all the most stupid questions I've ever thought to ask. His staff is very helpful, too. We've been seeing Dr. Wood for 7 years now.
Feel free to ask any particular questions, either here or via my e-mail.
ETA: My DS is 8, too--turning 9 in a couple of weeks!

I second the vote for Dr. Wood. We've been seeing him for four years and love him. He's well worth the drive.

Is this THE Dr. Wood? Elizabeth, that would be worth moving again!

We see Dr. Jacqueline Eghrari-Sabet in Montgomery Village (MD). I absolutely love her.
We have never had to wait to get in to see her and I really like that she takes the time to answer all my questions (without rushing us out of the office).

We now (just switched) see Dr. Wood as well- I agree with everyone above- he is great! It takes about 7 mths to get an appt as a new patient though...probably could get in quicker if a doctor would call for you.

PennMom...you're right...if a doctor does call for you for that initial appointment, you do get in sooner. At least that's what happened with us 7 years ago. As an established patient with "the" Dr. Wood, you can get an appointment quicker although at year-end (December) it's tougher. Having said that, they really try to get you in as quickly as possible.

We see Dr. Wood too, though we've only been there twice in the past 7 years. I get my epis from my pediatrician. I tried 2 other allergies before that and hated them both. Glad to see one on here that someone likes (the one in Montgomery Village.)

Uh Oh...did you see Dr. Eghrari? I'd be interested in knowing if you saw her, didn't like her and why. Hmmm..should we be making the trek to JHH too???

No, I saw one at some branch of a Children's Hospital in Rockville, and some other one--I don't remember where, but it wasn't Montgomery Village. She did a weird kind of skin prick test where she filled up a whole "palette" kind of thing and did them all at once. I wasn't confident that the things weren't running together or that she knew which was which since she seemed a little confused at one point.
We went to Dr. Wood because Ben's circumstances were so strange--over 100 on CAP RAST, but no reaction history despite clear exposure. Figured we'd talk to the expert. I'm playing phone tag with his office now trying to get a food challenge set up. Well actually, I'm trying to figure out Ben's school schedule--field trips and all--before I try to reach them again to schedule it.
