Best allergists in California: find options near you

Dr Buddiga is very thorough and informative. The super staff are friendly. The experience was excellent from the moment I walked in. I didn’t have to wait to be called back and didn’t have a wait long to be seen by the doctor. Highly recommend Dr. Buddiga’s office.

Amazing service, attention to detail information, and & very patient staff. Dr. Buddiga thoroughly explained each part of my appointment and made sure that I was able to understand. Overall great experience & highly recommend!

Dr. Buddiga and his team are wonderful, patient, and supportive. He is the 5th doctor I have seen for a recurring issue and the first to really listen and validate my experience thus far. His team is communicative, caring, and patient forward. I’m very happy with the care I’m getting here, and plan to bring my kiddo in for his asthma care.

Great experience. ALL staff were attentive, professional and personable. Dr. Buddiga listened, explained and answered all of my questions and concerns. I live in Merced, but will drive to Fresno without complaint to see Dr. Buddiga in the future.

This place was okay. I didn’t find it particularly great for kids. Rooms were hot. Doctor is dry, serious, and even rude at times. I had high expectations given reviews but don’t plan to be back. The doctor only offered shots, and I had to ask about other treatment options. He assumed I couldn’t afford out of pocket costs (based on a comment he made about who came to his office for pills). Front staff was very kind.

Dr. Ryan took the time to sit with me and carefully listen to my concerns regarding my three-year-old daughter’s skin issues. I never felt rushed, and he was genuinely invested in understanding what was going on and finding solutions to help. He is personable, compassionate, and clearly motivated to see his patients improve. It’s rare to find a physician who combines such knowledge with patience and attentiveness. I left the appointment feeling heard, supported, and confident in our treatment plan. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor who truly cares about his patients.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. The doctor took the time to answer my questions and explain everything clearly. The office was clean and well organized. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality allergy and immunology care.

Our family has been seeing Dr. Shilian since my daughter was one year old, and he has been nothing short of exceptional. He is extremely smart and insightful, and it’s clear he is deeply knowledgeable about both current research and emerging technology in allergy care. What sets him apart is his compassion, he truly listens, explains everything thoroughly, and approaches each appointment with patience and care. We always leave feeling informed, supported, and confident in our daughter’s treatment plan. I also have to mention Nadia at the front desk, she is wonderful. She is always kind, welcoming, and helpful. The entire office runs smoothly thanks to her. We are so grateful to have found this practice and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, knowledgeable, and compassionate allergy care.

Dr. Shilian and his entire staff are absolutely wonderful! From the moment you walk in, everyone is kind, professional, welcoming, and attentive. Dr. Shilian takes the time to truly listen, explain everything clearly, and make you feel comfortable and cared for. You never feel rushed, and the level of compassion and professionalism is exceptional. The office runs smoothly, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the overall experience is always positive. I’m so grateful to have found such an amazing allergist and highly recommend Dr. Shilian and his team to anyone looking for outstanding care!

Dr. was extremely patient. He took the time to listen to my concerns and did not hesitate to order the appropriate testing. He was not dismissive or try to rush me out of his office like other doctors I’ve seen in the past. The office staff were also super friendly and helpful throughout the entire visit. Very pleasant experience overall.

Dr. Ang is truly exceptional, not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he has a genuine warmth and kindness that immediately puts you at ease. He took the time to make my son feel comfortable and truly listened, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about his patients. We left feeling confident and well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Wow! I came in early expecting to fill out more paperwork and to be waiting for a while, but I’m happy to say that this doctor’s office is good about not over booking patients and it was nice and clean, the nursing staff were helpful and attentive and I was very impressed with the doctor’s himself and his bedside manner. He was helpful and listen to what I had to say and was good about giving helpful suggestion. I’m glad I found him and hope we can continue a good patient and doctor relationship. I would recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for a goo allergy doctor.

Love my Dr and staff!!! Everyone is so nice and sweet. Dr is a great listener to all your concerns. Everyone is always so nice and professional. Office is always clean and organized. Definitely recommend this Dr if you suffer from allergies or skin conditions. So happy to finally find a Dr who has an amazing bed side manner!! ♥️👍🏻

Dr. Ang is very knowledgeable and caring. He takes the time to listen to his patients and always makes them feel heard and cared for.. Thank you, Dr. Ang, and all the staff for making us feel welcome!

Dr. Ang is knowledgeable and compassionate, two qualities a doctor must have. I appreciate that he took me seriously and scheduled an allergy test without waiting to see if the nasal sprays he prescribed were working. I wish I had met Dr. Ang sooner, but better late than never.

Completely Satisfied with my visit. Very comfortable environment. Dr. Josh addressed my concerns and added a couple of new prescriptions. I felt immediate relief with the allergy eyedrops which I have not previously been made aware of. I tried them within about 2 hours of my appointment and felt immediate change for the better. Looking forward to my next visit.

Extremely rigid administration and an experience that felt like an unnecessary power trip. I had an appointment today. While I was already on my way, I received a call from the staff informing me that they needed to reschedule. I completely understand that unexpected scheduling issues happen, so I was perfectly fine with it and offered to simply reschedule over the phone right then and there. This is where the situation became completely illogical. Even though we were already speaking on the phone, the staff firmly refused to handle it and insisted that I must physically walk into their office just to reschedule. I assumed there was some specific paperwork or procedure required. However, upon arriving, the entire process consisted of the staff member sitting there, clicking their mouse and typing on a keyboard for a minute to change the date. I want to strongly emphasize this point: they absolutely could have resolved this during our phone call. Instead, they adamantly demanded that I perform a task in person that was 100% resolvable over the phone. They deliberately set up an entirely illogical hurdle, forcing a customer to expend unnecessary time and physical effort for an administrative task that required absolutely no physical presence. The staff used their minor administrative micro power to force the customer into a submissive state. This wasn’t about solving a problem, it was about establishing control, flexing their dominance by making a customer jump through arbitrary, time wasting hoops for no valid reason. I have attached a photo of my visit as proof. I am not writing this to attack any individual employee, but to objectively highlight the operational mindset of this establishment. They show a complete lack of basic respect for their customers’ time, preferring to display unnecessary authority rather than providing logical customer service. If you want to avoid this kind of mentally exhausting experience, I highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Very good environment , clean and modern very pleasant team secretaries ,nurses and doctors. You can also find parking on the street to avoid the $10 …

Been coming every week for the last 9 months. Always greeted with nice staff. Typically I’m in and out. My Allergies are much better! Livio Harris

The telehealth was very pleasant. The front staff made it very easy to make an appointment with the doctor. And they also followed up with my lab results. Amazing customer service, thorough, easy-going, and they all made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend!

I scheduled a call, paid, filled out my info and they never showed up.

Exceptional Care from Start to Finish – Highly Recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Krikor Manoukian, MD, FAAAAI, FACAAI at Hey Allergy provided an outstanding telemedicine experience that far exceeded my expectations. Having consulted with numerous allergy specialists over the years, I can confidently say this was among the most thorough and patient-centered appointments I’ve ever had. From the outset, Dr. Manoukian took considerable time to listen carefully to my allergy concerns without rushing. Unlike many prior experiences where appointments felt hurried, he dedicated ample space for me to explain my symptoms fully. After listening attentively, he spent significant time walking me through potential triggers that could be contributing to my allergic reactions—a level of detail and education I rarely receive in typical specialist visits. What impressed me most was his methodical approach. Rather than offering generic solutions, Dr. Manoukian outlined a clear, step-by-step plan to tackle each issue individually. His willingness to personalize care strategies rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol demonstrated both expertise and genuine investment in my health outcomes. In summary: if you’re looking for an allergy specialist who combines clinical knowledge with compassion, patience, and a structured treatment framework, Dr. Manoukian comes highly recommended. The virtual platform made access seamless, and the quality of care matched—if not surpassed—many in-person consultations I’ve received elsewhere.

Dr Chan was great, he is kind, clear, he listens well and is respectful and thoughtful, and gracious in his responses. The staff is fantastic, kind, compassionate and everything is handled efficiently. Great practice, I highly recommend them.

Am very happy to be with Dr Chan….. And the staff is terrific.

Dr Geller had been my allergy doctor all my life and I could not wish for a more caring, professional, compassionate and competent doctor. He retired and now Dr Chan has taken over for him. I know that Dr Geller spent a lot of time choosing Dr Chan to take care of his patients, and now that I have seen him a few times, I am so happy that he is the one to care for me. He is smart, kind, interesting and a super good doctor. Also he has a sense of humor. Thanks Dr Geller for picking such a good doctor for us all. and thanks Dr Chan for being such a terrific provider.

This place is the absolute worst! I have Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (chronic full body hives) and have called this office 5X to try to get them to schedule me to get my Xolair Shots. They keep saying Dr. Chan will get back with me every time. I haven’t received ONE call from Dr. Chan. Additionally, I have done the laboratory work they have required of me and have given them the fax number for my old allergist office. I called my old allergy office and asked them if they sent over my documents and they said they did TWICE. Why am I not getting appropriate medical care and why aren’t they scheduling my shots? I can’t live like this!!! Every time I call, the receptionist that I speak to has attitude, is dismissive, or doesn’t care. This is the WORST doctors office I have been to!

Great doctor office and his staff are very helpful and kind and accommodating highly recommended if you have an immune problems or allergy problems check them out

This place is great. I was able to get in incredibly quickly with PA Shirvanian. She was very thorough and knowledgeable about my condition MCAS which can be hard to find treatment for. My previous allergist thinks I may also have an incredibly rare condition called Progesterone Hypersensitivity but said we had already tried everything, so my symptoms become unbearable during certain times in my cycle. She came up with a medication adjustment we could try and said she would help me explore options. Here’s the part I was most impressed by- a couple weeks later I got a call from her- she had spoken with the other doctor who has treated this condition and came up with a comprehensive plan if I wanted to get a formal diagnosis for the condition. She also discussed a medication option I haven’t tried yet if I didn’t want to go that route. This meant so much to me- it’s felt really scary dealing with this potentially rare issue with no options, and the fact that she took so much time to come up with a plan and spent valuable time discussing with me just shows she really cares about her patients and is able to be flexible with trying new things based on individual needs- which in my opinion is the single most important factor that makes an excellent provider. The office staff is also very nice and quick to respond. I’m definitely switching over care 🙂

The front staff was good. The technician was good. The Physician Assistant was a nightmare. She was rude, dismissive, was refusing to collaborate and was then pushing me to take a prescription that I didn’t need. She was pushing her personal ideology and her unfounded beliefs. On 3 occasions she said «science and FDA» and when I pointed out the exact opposite from a basic Google search she was even more rude and condescending. The worst part is I had to go twice in a week. I tried calling to get a different PA for my second appointment and they would not accommodate. On the second appointment they were more than 25 minutes late but then told other people who were 15 late they would have to reschedule. Classic «rules for thee not for me».

The experience I had today just requesting a letter to state my Medical issues and to say that I could benefit from having a HEPA FILTER AIR PURIFIER. DUE TO ASTHMA AND OTHER ISSUES. THE MEDICAL ASSISTANT LIU WAS ACTING LIKE SHE COULDN’T write the simple letter as asked by the PA. She acted like she was going to have to pay for the equipment out of her pocket. I have been signed up for 80 weeks of Allergy injections. The letter was for my Case Manager to show the Medical accommodations so it can be purchased for me And then I was told I could be charged for the letter. This situation has made me think that I should not go back to this office. I thought staff should assist patients, not hinder them in the process. A simple letter stating I could benefit from this for my health issues. Dr. Mankourian seems like a great Doctor. But needs to take a look at the unprofessional conduct of his staff. I am seriously doubting if I should return to this facility. Over a simple letter to benefit my health issues. Due to the roles of profit. ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE.

I’m really excited to start my allergy shot journey. It’s been so long since I’ve dealt with my symptoms, and it’s cool to see there are other options than just popping a pill for less than ideal results. UPDATE: I arrived 9 minutes late to my appointment—well within the 10-minute grace period this office claims to offer. I was still turned away. When I asked why, I was eventually told it was because they had a meeting at 12. That information should’ve been communicated clearly, instead of using my arrival time as an excuse. To make matters worse, while I was trying to speak with staff, other patients started listening in. As I walked out, one even said, «Try not being late next time.» No one from the office stepped in to maintain any level of professionalism or patient privacy. Extremely disappointing experience. I expected better communication, respect, and basic decency from a healthcare provider.

They will find a way to maximize your out of expenses & insurance costs by dividing services and doctors consultation into multiple apportionments. After my initial tele-doc appointment, the doctor recommended that I need a breathing test and skin test for allergies. I said fine, but when I went to make the in-office appointment I was told it would have to be broken up into two separate visits, which means 2 co-pay and 2 insurance invoices. I was not happy about hvg to make time in my busy schedule or the paying twice the amount for services that could have been done in one visit. My insurance co-pay is $25 but on each appointment they wanted to charge me $25 for the service and another $25 to talk to the doctor. This means $50 per visit, $100 in co-payments total for the doctor’s initial suggestion/evaluation. They are trying to make as much money off the insurance and the patient as possible! And heaven forbid you miss your appointment bc they also charge a $250 cancellation fee l

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. The doctors and front desk staff are so incredibly kind. I walked right into my appointment the doctor saw me right away, and was kind and attentive and answered all questions I had. They also were really gentle with their approach and didn’t immediately try to push unnecessary tests we didn’t need. The office is also really kid friendly. Toys in the exam rooms and stickers when you leave. Such a wonderful practice.

Dr.Schoettler has an excellent, holistic approach to helping patients improve. She thought about ideas to help my lung function beyond what other specialists had considered. The front office is prompt, efficient and cheerful. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend this practice

I was referred to Dr Joyce Schoettler MD By my internist, Dr. Kalpana Hool MD. I have problems with my immune system due to living in an apartment full of mold for years annoyingly. The result of my immune system, being severely depressed, is that my once strong immune system cannot fight off Bacteria from a scratch that has been treated properly and read from the start. I have a lot of medical problems because of all this now involving my lungs, etc. I was referred to Dr Schoettler because I hear that she is One of the very best in her field of Immunology. I have many excellent doctors and she is the latest to join the team working to get me well. After working with her and talking with her, I feel very confident that I will get better under her care. I recommend her highly. She listened, she took notes, She read my notes that I gave her about my situation, and she ordered up a lot of blood work so we can get to the bottom of some things. I look forward to Positive things will come from working with her on my situation.

I’ve been a patient of SB Allergy and Asthma for many years and would highly recommend them. Dr. Buchsbaum is a great doctor, he takes his time to listen to your concerns and advises the best care for your health. Staff is very friendly and communication is top notch. Thank you for keeping me healthy all these years.

Been seeing Dr B for many years. Very happy w/ treatment he has provided, sad to see he’s retiring.

I’ve been coming to this allergist every week, and I’m always impressed. The office is spotless, and the wait times are minimal. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and I love that they have an air purifier to keep the air quality high. It’s a really comfortable and reassuring environment for allergy sufferers like me. Highly recommend! 🤩

I’ve been experiencing worsened asthma recently and Baz has been very helpful. They had me do breathing test and different allergy tests. I hate needles but the girls were very patient and understanding. We went at my pace and if it weren’t for that I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed it at all. The girls upfront are very nice and worked with my work schedule. I’ll be starting new medication and just hope things get better even though I do live in the valley. I do recommend this office and location. Everyone was so nice. Thank you,

I’m a regular here, visiting weekly, and I always have a great experience at this allergist’s office! The clinic is consistently very clean, and I’m seen quickly every time. The customer service is top-notch, and I really appreciate the air purifier in the office. It makes a huge difference in my comfort level as someone with allergies. I highly recommend this allergist for anyone needing regular allergy care! 100/10 🙏😊

I have been using the BAZ Allergy, Asthma & SInus Center at the 505 N Clovis location for several years now. The staff at this location are all friendly and work in a quick manner, but overly quick that would overwhelm and confuse me. I get immunotherapy treatment once per week as part of my medical regimen and I just love my immunotherapy clinician. She is super nice and engages in small conversation during the shots. I look forward to seeing her every week as a result of her perfect customer care. Dr. Pettigrew is my doctor there at Baz and he too is super friendly and makes me laugh. I typically get overly worked up when seeing a doctor; I don’t know why, doctors just always make me nervous. Yet, at the Baz, I never feel that overly worked-up nervousness thanks to Dr. Pettigrew’s impeccable demeanor!

Very nice they help u out and there is not a long wait time it’s like ten minutes that’s all it’s very clean they are welling to help u out and they send u a reminders about your appointments and to get your shots it’s ever fast very little wait time like only five minutes and they are the nicest people that I have ever been give shots from I really don’t feel it at all it’s like they don’t poke u but they do give u your shots and they make sure there was no problems from the last shots u got I really like this place I do recommend this place to people to come and get help with there allergies

Dr. Carr is the most thorough and caring doctor I’ve ever had. When I first came to the clinic, my allergies and asthma were miserable and impacting my daily life. He takes the time to explain why my symptoms happen, how treatments work, and the reasoning behind our plan. He created a thoughtful medication approach to help me get through allergy shots and improve my quality of life. I still have occasional road bumps, but I feel empowered, informed, and so much better under his care. I also love the office staff!

I had a stellar experience at Allergy and Asthma Associates. I first made an appointment at the practice for food allergy management for tree nuts, and Dr. Lee-Kim explained that OIT was a viable approach; I didn’t realize that this could still be an option for adults (had only heard of young kids going through OIT). So glad I went through the process at 25+ years old!! Dr. Lee-Kim, Dr. Mehta, Craig, Alma, and Kelly were all very knowledgeable and helpful, and made the OIT process very smooth from start to finish. Everyone was thorough, communicative, and professional throughout. I went from being severely allergic to cashews and walnuts, to now eating 8g of each every day! Highly recommend this office.

Really disappointed in a new policy this place created. We used to come here all the time with kids. I needed a consult for myself and when I arrived I was informed of a new $250 policy for new patients. No one called me head to discuss this or explain this. If I had known I would have done my research and made a decision based on that. Now I have to do research post the appointment and possibly look for a new place. Very disappointing and wasted time.

Dr. Warner Carr, M.D. is excellent – truly one of the best allergists our family has worked with. His knowledge, care and bedside manner are outstanding and we have great confidence in his medical expertise. Unfortunately, our experience with contacting (via phone system &/or web portals) the office for appointments, medications, etc, has been extremely frustrating & can take weeks. Reaching the office by phone can be difficult due to the phone, voicemail system & the small staff. Reaching the office by web portal (Modernizing Medicine or Klara) is difficult due to who has access to the web portal system – only the senior staff (who you won’t get the chance to talk to). If you message them, if it works, they won’t answer – I tried for weeks. I share this in the spirit of constructive feedback, as Dr. Carr’s medical care is exceptional and deserves an office experience that matches the quality of his work. If our experience improves, we’ll update our review to 4 or 5 (Dr Carr deserves 5 on his own).

We did OIT for peanuts starting when our son was 9 months old. The staff here were wonderful, especially Alma and Kelly! They were super understanding when our son started refusing his dose and we found another solution to getting him to take it (via liquid instead) that worked better. My husband and I also messed up and had to request a replacement dose one week, which the staff were able to whip up next-day. Alma is always so friendly and patient with our son. Dr. Carr was always very knowledgeable and clear in what our next steps were. The front desk were always very kind and quick to help us check in and book future appointments. Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience and we highly recommend this clinic for OIT.

Dr Orden has a busy practice yet when I came up with unusual symptoms and a lot of questions – he took extra time and effort with me. I appreciated his kind attention and sharp diagnostic skills.

I had a very disappointing experience with Allergy and Asthma Medical Group of the Bay Area. My appointment was scheduled for 8:00 AM, and I understand there is a 15-minute grace period. I even called ahead to let them know I would be arriving a few minutes late—but still within that grace period. I arrived at 8:15 AM, exactly within the allowed window, with my two young children, only to be told at 8:16 AM that Nancy Mozelsio was no longer accepting patients for that time slot. I found this extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate. I made the effort to call in advance, arrived within the stated policy, and still was turned away. This was not a case of showing up significantly late. What makes this even more frustrating is that I had been waiting months for this important appointment. To be dismissed over a one-minute technicality—despite communication and effort on my end—is unacceptable. I would not recommend this office based on this experience. Patients deserve better communication, flexibility, and basic respect for their time—especially when they are following the rules provided.

The staff was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. I came in with a problem and I was provided with a solution and also with a follow up an ongoing monitoring. Very professional staff and I really appreciated them helping me. I would definitely encourage everyone to see this office for any allergy related problems.

Dr Orden is the best! So thoughtful and kind and responsive. He is wonderful with my teen son as well as my daughters. We’ve seen other allergists and they don’t compare in knowledge nor compassion.

Very personable, professional and timely service. Lovely staff- Dr. Ige was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. All the nurses and front desk staff were lovely as well. Thorough and thoughtful medical advice. They’re up front about wait times so you’re not left wondering how long the appointment will take, and they run as efficiently as possible while still making sure you feel adequately listened to and taken care of. The building is a bit confusing structurally, but once you find the right place it’s as pleasant of an experience as a doctors visit could be.
