Dr. Aarons is board certified in Allergy/Immunology. He received a B.A. In Psychology at The George Washington University. Originally from Baltimore, he attended the University of Maryland School of Medicine and then moved to North Carolina for his Internal Medicine Residency at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. After completing his Allergy/Immunology fellowship in Denver, Colorado he decided that Raleigh would be a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.
“I decided to specialize in Allergy because I was fascinated by the complexity and power of the immune system. I enjoy being able to work with both children and adults. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to care for many of my patients from childhood to adulthood, and then later caring for their children. I like to spend my free time with my family, watch ACC basketball, exercise and travel. I am excited to be part of Allergy Partners after practicing with Carolina Allergy and Asthma since 1995.”
My family and I have lived in North Carolina since 2003 and it has been a real honor and privilege to be able to serve the wonderful residents of this area as an allergist. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, grew up in Ft. Myers, Florida, and studied accounting as an undergraduate at Florida State University. Working as a CPA in Atlanta and Tampa, I got to travel all over the southeast and developed a love for country music and even greater love for the people of this part of the country. But after awhile, I realized that my true calling was as to be a doctor. I attended medical school at the University of South Florida, graduated summa cum laude and went on to perform my residency in Internal Medicine. I did my fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at the University of Virginia. I decided to become an allergist because I felt that I could make a big impact on people’s quality of life and I love to work closely with my patients to come up with the best treatment plan.
I proudly served in the Medical Corps of the US Air Force Reserve and completed my service with the rank of Major in 2008. I have had the pleasure of being married to my wonderful wife, Beth, who is also a registered nurse. We have 3 grown sons-all of whom we are very proud.
We also have 3 dogs- 2 Vizslas, Holly and Scarlett, and a rescue Basset Hound named Daisy. I love spending time with the dogs, spending time with the family (not necessarily in that order), reading, going to church, and traveling when I can. I like hiking and working out in the yard. Because my father was born in Sicily, Italy, I’m trying to learn a little Italian for when I visit Sicily someday.
As a child with allergies and asthma, I grew an appreciation for my Allergist. However, it wasn’t until residency at Duke, while taking care of patients with immunodeficiency and food allergy, that I really knew how much I liked the science behind these disorders. This led me to pursue a fellowship in Allergy & Immunology, also at Duke. I chose to complete an extra year of training, exploring the development of allergic disease with a particular interest in the relationship of the micro-biome (good bacteria) with onset of food allergy.
After the completion of fellowship, I took a brief hiatus from a primary role in patient care, and spent 2 years as a Medical Director with GlaxoSmithKline, working with new medications for the treatment of asthma. During this time, I had a part time clinic at Duke University and realized how much I missed patient care. I joined Allergy Partners of the Triangle to get back into full time patient care.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three small children. My children keep me busy but also teach me lessons in patience and understanding. I enjoy yoga and exploring the triangle’s many festivals and restaurants.
Dr. Romeo joins Allergy Partners of the Triangle after moving from Charlotte, where he previously worked at a private allergy practice. He is board certified by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology and the American Board of Pediatrics. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Vanderbilt University and his medical degree from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his residency in Pediatrics at the University of South Florida, and his fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at Wake Forest University.
“I became fascinated with allergy and immunology early in my medical training. The study of how the body responds and adapts to the world around it is truly an amazing thing. Sometimes, this causes problems when something that should be safe, like a food, drug, or pollen causes an unwanted reaction. My goal as your doctor is to help you understand why your body is reacting the way that it is, and help you to manage your symptoms. I am humbled by the trust you and your family put in me, and will strive to provide you with the best care possible.”
When not working, Dr. Romeo loves to relax with his wife and two rescue puppies (Lexie and Callie). He is passionate about travel, and hopes to see as much of the world as possible. He enjoys fitness, especially running. You will likely find him participating in various races throughout the year. He is also a huge sports fan. His favorite teams include his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers and Browns, his alma mater Vanderbilt Commodores, and his childhood favorite The Ohio State Buckeyes! “Something tells me I will also be watching a lot more college basketball now that I live in the triangle!”
