Dr. Armando Partida-Gaytán,MD, MSc

Pediatric Allergist & Clinical Immunologist
Founder, Allergy Smart Suite®

An internationally trained physician dedicated to allergy, clinical immunology and type 2 inflammatory disease in adults and children. Training across Mexico, the United Kingdom and Latin America informs an evidence-based, precision-medicine approach — from advanced allergy diagnostics to modern biologic therapies — delivered in English or Spanish.

My Mission

Making complex allergic diseases understandable.

Allergy Smart Suite was created out of a simple observation: patients living with severe asthma, chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, food allergy or recurrent immune disease often arrive having been seen by several physicians, yet still without a clear explanation of what they have, why it happens, and what to do about it.

Modern allergy and clinical immunology is a precision specialty. Phenotype, endotype and biomarkers should guide decisions — not generic treatment ladders. Patients deserve the time to be heard, diagnostics that actually clarify the picture, and a treatment plan that is explained, not just prescribed.

Education is part of treatment. When patients and families understand their disease, adherence improves, anxiety drops, and outcomes change.

My Approach to Care

Three principles behind every consultation.

Evidence First

Every recommendation combines current scientific evidence with individualized clinical judgement — never one-size-fits-all.

Partnership

Patients and families participate in every meaningful treatment decision, with the time and clarity they deserve.

Precision Medicine

Modern diagnostics and targeted therapies — including biologics — allow treatment tailored to your specific disease biology.

What Makes This Practice Different

Specialty-level depth, designed around the patient.

Integrated Specialty Evaluation

Allergy, immunology and respiratory disease assessed as one system, not in isolation.

Modern Biologic Therapies

Candidacy assessment and orientation for biologics in severe asthma, CRSwNP, urticaria and atopic dermatitis.

Comprehensive Diagnostics

Component-resolved allergy testing, pulmonary function, immune workup and phenotype-driven evaluation.

Patient Education

Clear, structured explanations so you understand your diagnosis and treatment plan in your own language.

International Perspective

Training and collaboration across Mexico, the UK and Latin America inform every clinical decision.

Long-term Follow-up

Chronic allergic and immunologic disease requires continuity — we build that relationship deliberately.

Professional Journey

Two decades of training, distilled into how you are cared for today.

  1. 2002 — 2011

    Clinical Foundation

    Medical degree at Universidad de Guadalajara, followed by Pediatrics residency at Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez — first place academic performance, class of 2008–2011.

    A foundation in pediatric and general medicine that informs how complex allergic disease is evaluated at any age.

  2. 2011 — 2014

    Subspecialty in Allergy & Immunology

    Fellowships in Paediatric Allergy & Clinical Immunology and a high-specialty fellowship in Primary Immunodeficiencies (UNAM / Instituto Nacional de Pediatría), with an MSc in Medical Sciences.

    Deep training in the immune system — from common allergy to rare immunodeficiency — supports accurate diagnosis where others stop.

  3. 2015 — 2016

    International Academic Development

    MSc Cell and Gene Therapy at University College London — Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health. Awarded Distinction and Dean's List.

    Exposure to the frontier of advanced therapies shapes a forward-looking view of what is possible in immune disease.

  4. 2016 — present

    Industry & Medical Leadership

    Senior Medical Affairs Manager — Specialty Care at GSK México, leading medical strategy across biologics, severe asthma, respiratory immunology and rare disease. Three-time Top Performer of the Year.

    Direct insight into how modern biologics are developed, evaluated and accessed — translated into practical orientation for each patient.

International Experience

A broader perspective, applied to your case.

Training at University College London — Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, contribution to Latin American consensus documents in severe combined immunodeficiency, and co-authorship of the Mexican GUIMIT immunotherapy guidelines have shaped a view of allergy and immunology that is rigorously international.

That perspective is what allows a treatment plan to draw on European, North American and Latin American evidence simultaneously — choosing what genuinely fits each patient instead of what is locally familiar.

Areas of Expertise

Focused on type 2 inflammatory and severe allergic disease.

Severe Asthma

Phenotype-driven evaluation and biologic orientation for uncontrolled and eosinophilic asthma.

CRSwNP

Integrated management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in coordination with ENT.

Chronic Urticaria

Structured workup and stepwise therapy, including biologic options, for chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Atopic Dermatitis

Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis with modern systemic and targeted therapies.

Food Allergy

Diagnostic clarification, anaphylaxis risk assessment and long-term management.

Drug Allergy & Desensitization

Evaluation of suspected drug reactions and orientation around desensitization protocols.

Primary Immunodeficiencies

High-specialty training in inborn errors of immunity — recognition, workup and care navigation.

Biologic Therapies

Candidacy, expectations and follow-up for monoclonal antibodies across type 2 inflammatory disease.

Precision Medicine

Phenotype, endotype and biomarker-driven decisions instead of generic treatment ladders.

Education

A continuous formation in medicine and immunology.

Philosophy of Medicine
Medicine should reduce uncertainty — not create more of it.

Every consultation is built to replace confusion with understanding, and fragmented care with an integrated, evidence-based plan. The goal is not to add another opinion — it is to bring the pieces together so that you finally know what you have, why it happens, and what to do next.
