Allergy & Asthma Center
An allergy and asthma physician office in Gilroy's medical district, serving South County families.
About
Seasonal sneezing in South County has a long list of suspects, from grass and olive pollen along Highway 101 to dust from the surrounding farmland. Allergy & Asthma Center, in Suite 260 at 9360 No Name Uno in Gilroy, is a physician office on the short street of medical buildings at the north end of town. Compiled from public filings and directory records, this profile is pending the owner's confirmation; Daniella Lozano is listed as manager.
Typical reasons for a visit
- Testing to pin down what triggers hay fever, hives or eczema, usually by skin-prick panels or blood work ordered through a lab.
- Asthma evaluation, including breathing tests and a written action plan for inhaler use.
- Allergy shots given on a schedule over months to build tolerance to pollen, dust mites or pet dander.
- Food, insect-sting and medication allergy work-ups, with an epinephrine prescription where warranted.
- Sinus trouble and chronic cough that have not responded to over-the-counter remedies.
An allergy and asthma office of this kind generally sees children and adults, and most patients arrive on a referral from a family doctor, though a referral is not always required.
Preparing for an appointment
Call ahead to confirm the office accepts your insurance plan and whether it needs a referral first. For skin testing you will usually be asked to stop antihistamines for several days beforehand, so ask when you book. Bring a list of current medications, note when symptoms are worst, and, for asthma, bring any inhalers you use. Ask how the office handles questions between visits and how often you would need to come in if you start immunotherapy, since shots mean regular trips for a year or more.

Gilroy is the southern anchor of Santa Clara County, and an office here draws from Morgan Hill and San Martin up the valley, from Hollister and San Juan Bautista over the county line, and from Watsonville and Salinas to the south and west, with San Jose about half an hour up the freeway.

Common questions
Typical for this type of businessDo I need a referral to see an allergist in Gilroy?
It depends on your insurance. HMO plans usually require a referral from your primary care physician; PPO plans often do not. Call the office with your plan details before booking, and ask whether the office is in network.
Should I stop antihistamines before allergy testing?
For skin testing, most offices ask patients to stop antihistamines, including some sleep aids and cold medicines, for several days beforehand, because they mask the reaction. Ask the office for its exact list and timing when you schedule, and do not stop asthma inhalers.
How long does immunotherapy take to work?
Allergy shots usually start with weekly build-up injections for several months, then monthly maintenance doses for three to five years. Many patients notice improvement within the first year. Ask what the schedule looks like and whether the office offers cluster or rush protocols.
Can children be tested and treated here?
Allergy and asthma practices generally see children as well as adults, but ask about the youngest age the office tests, whether a paediatric asthma plan is provided for school, and how school medication forms are handled.
Before you hire
- Confirm the office accepts your insurance and whether a referral is required.
- Ask which medications to stop before skin testing and for how long.
- Look up the physician's licence on the Medical Board of California website.
- Bring current inhalers, a medication list and notes on when symptoms peak.
- Ask how often immunotherapy visits are needed and whether early or late slots exist.
