An esteemed allergist and immunologist of more than four decades, Dr. Stein recently retired from his private practice in North Palm Beach and West Palm Beach.

These conditions range from the very common to the very rare, spanning all ages and various organ systems.

Some of Dr. Steins other noteworthy roles have included Clinical Consultant in Allergy and Immunology at the National Institute of Health, Assistant Chief of Allergy and Immunology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and Assistant Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at the Uniform Services Health Sciences School of Medicine in Bethesda Maryland. After moving to Florida, he was a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of South Florida Medical School intermittently. Dr. Stein served as the Chief of the Allergy Service at Intracoastal Health Systems, at St. Mary's Hospital and finally at Good Samaritan Hospital from 2001 to 2018. He had been an active staff member at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center and Good Samaritan Hospital from 1979 to 2018.

Dr. Stein attended LaSalle College from which he received a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, in 1964. He then received his Doctor of Medicine at Jefferson Medical College in 1968. This was followed by an internship at Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania. He spent the next 10 years in the U.S. Army and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During his service, he completed an internal medicine residency at Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco, followed by a fellowship in allergy and immunology at National Jewish Medical and Research Center and Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Denver, Colorado.

During his training in Denver, Dr. Stein's was interested in gastroesophageal reflux and how it could cause or aggravate asthma. His research began there. He and co-investigators were the first to provide scientific evidence for aspiration of gastric contents and/or a vagal nerve reflex from the esophagus could be contributing to worsening asthma. This work would subsequently be confirmed by several other investigators. An invitation from the NIH led to his editing and authoring his book "Gastroesophageal Reflux and Airway Disease" published in 1999. It has been the most thorough review of the subject. The object of his research changed to immunodeficiency and immunoglobulin therapy in the next decades as he treated an enlarging population of these patients, including many in the geriatric age group. This research lead to many publications and abstracts which were presented in many countries. Dr. Stein has published over 50 articles and over 100 abstracts which have appeared in over 25 journals.
