Allergy and Asthma Associates of Northern California
Allergy, asthma and immunology care for adults and children at a Gilroy satellite office.
Acerca de
Seasonal allergies and asthma send a steady stream of south-county families to specialists, and for years the nearest ones were in San Jose. Allergy and Asthma Associates of Northern California keeps a satellite office in Gilroy for exactly that reason, at 9360 No Name Uno, Suite 250, in the medical office cluster on the north side of town. The practice is a physician-owned group of allergy, asthma, immunology and pulmonary specialists with offices from San Mateo to Monterey. Dr. Robert T. Torrano, the contact in chamber records, has spent more than thirty years in allergy and immunology, trained at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and sees patients at the group's San Jose offices.
What the Gilroy office offers
The office handles adult and pediatric allergy and asthma care and immunology. It is a part-time location, open on set weekday sessions rather than every day, with an allergy-shot station on two afternoons a week for patients on immunotherapy who would otherwise drive to San Jose. Three of the group's physicians cover the Gilroy sessions.
Across the group, the practice offers food oral immunotherapy, a supervised programme for building tolerance to food allergens, and it runs clinical trials, so a Gilroy patient may be referred to a larger office for either. Ask which services are delivered locally and which need a trip north.
Before your appointment
Bring your insurance card, a list of current medications and any previous allergy-test results. Specialist practices usually ask for a referral from a primary-care doctor when a health plan requires one, so check with your plan first. If you are coming for testing, ask how many days beforehand to stop antihistamines, because they blunt skin-test results. Shot patients should confirm the shot-station days before driving over, since they differ from consultation hours.
Patients it serves
Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Martin and Hollister are the core, with patients also coming from Watsonville, San Juan Bautista, San Jose and Salinas. The office sits just off US 101 at the north end of Gilroy, which keeps it reachable from San Benito County as well as the Santa Clara Valley.
Call 408-848-1800 to book. For appointments with Dr. Torrano himself, the practice will direct you to a San Jose office.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioDo I need a referral to see an allergist?
It depends on your health plan. HMO plans usually require a referral from a primary-care doctor; PPO plans often do not. Ask the office which plans it accepts and whether a referral is needed before booking.
How should I prepare for allergy testing?
Ask the office how long to stop antihistamines before a skin test, since they can mask results. Bring a list of medications, previous test results and notes on when and where symptoms occur.
How often do allergy shots have to be given?
Immunotherapy usually starts with weekly injections and stretches to monthly maintenance over months to years. Ask how the Gilroy shot station schedule fits that plan and what happens if you miss a dose.
Can children be seen at this office?
The group says it treats both adults and children. Ask whether a pediatric-trained physician covers the Gilroy sessions or whether a child's first visit should be at a San Jose office.
