New Patients

Courteous Competent Care with Compassion

Pediatric and Adult Allergy Services

All of us at the Asthma and Allergy Center would like to welcome you as a new patient to our office.

You will need to stop taking any medications that contain antihistamines [such as Claritin, Benadryl, Clarinex, Zyrtec etc.] for a minimum of five days prior to your visit. If your appointment is less than five days away, or you cannot stop the Antihistamines due to severe symptoms, or you are not sure whether the medications you are taking contain an Antihistamine **, please call us. You must stop any other medications you are on that do not contain antihistamines.
If your insurance requires referral to see a specialist please ensure it is obtained prior to your visit date. If you need help with that or have questions about any other aspect of your visit please feel free to call us at (650) 368-8807.
Please download & read the Office Policies Brochure, fill in all six pages of the New Patient Registration & Medical History Form, and bring it with you on your first visit. This form cannot be submitted online due to HIPPA (Privacy) regulations. If you prefer to fill out the form in our office, please arrive at least half an hour before your appointment time.
If you would like your primary care physician or previous allergist to send us your medical records, please fill out, print, sign, and fax the records release to FAAC form to that office. We can also complete the records release at our office.
Download and read the Privacy Policy notice. We respect patient privacy and follow all federal and state regulations to protect patient health information. A copy of this document will be give to you at your first visit.
Besides the completed forms, please bring your government-issued photo ID (of the responsible person if other than the patient), health insurance and prescription cards, bottles of current medications if you are on more than two or three, and any referral documents or test reports your doctor may have given you.
Please note that a new patient office visit can take up to three hours depending on the tests you may need.

**Many prescription and over the counter medications for cough, colds, allergies, sinus, sleep, mental health, vertigo, motion sickness, nose sprays, eye drops etc. contain antihistamines.

Allergy Testing Notice

Since you may need allergy testing performed during the first visit, we request that you STOP ALL ANTIHISTAMINE containing medications at least 5 days before your visit.

However, please DO NOT STOP YOUR ASTHMA MEDICATIONS or any other regular medications you may be taking as prescribed by your other doctors.

If you are unable/forget to stop the antihistamine, please keep your appointment and we will conduct the initial evaluation and perform testing at a subsequent visit if indicated. Please feel free to call us any time if there are any questions or doubts.
