Dr. Daniel Shtraykher is a board-certified pediatrician in Brooklyn who specializes in children’s neuro-immune and complex chronic conditions. He began by treating PANDAS/PANS, and his practice has grown to include mold illness (CIRS), chronic Lyme and coinfections, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), POTS/dysautonomia, ADHD, and folate-transport problems in autism (including folinic acid/leucovorin therapy).

Drawing on genetics, immune biology, and environmental medicine, Dr. Shtraykher recognizes that these diagnoses often overlap—shared pathways (inflammation, autoimmunity, mitochondrial stress, connective-tissue traits, and detox genetics) can blur boundaries. Instead of slicing a child into separate labels, he integrates findings and treats the root network: infections and biotoxins, immune dysregulation, mast-cell reactivity, autonomic imbalance, nutrient/folate transport, and the home environment.

His care is evidence-informed and practical: clear history, targeted testing when useful, and therapeutic trials when time or cost matters. Treatments may include antimicrobial strategies, anti-inflammatory and mast-cell stabilization, autonomic support for POTS, binders/detox for CIRS, and folinic acid for children with suspected cerebral folate deficiency—especially those with FRAA/FRAT positivity—often alongside school and behavioral supports.

Dr. Shtraykher accepts Medicaid and most major insurance, making specialized neuro-immune care accessible to families. His goal is simple: see the big picture, address what’s driving a child’s brain-body symptoms, and help kids regain function—whether the trigger is strep, mold, Lyme, MCAS, POTS, ADHD-related vulnerabilities, or folate transport.

Why pediatrics? Who doesn’t love a snuggle from a baby or getting to play games during the work day? There is nothing I love more than meeting children as babies and getting the special opportunity to work closely with parents to help them grow and flourish.

I joined The Center for Advanced Pediatrics in August 2020, but grew up close by in Ridgefield, CT. While I always knew that I wanted to work in pediatrics, my passion for children grew stronger throughout my clinical rotations while completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Boston College.

I went on to receive my Master’s Degree in Nursing from Columbia University, graduating from the pediatric primary care nurse practitioner program. After graduating, I worked at a pediatric private practice on the Upper West Side of Manhattan before moving back to Connecticut. It was there that my love for babies and nutrition continued to grow.

While not at work, I love to travel and spend time with my family and friends. Especially my husband Nick and puppy Henry.
