Buddiga Family Allergy Skin Immunology

Nothing but positive things to say. This dude is AWESOME.

I specifically requested a referral to Dr. Buddiga because I'd read about his research and activism regarding pollution in the Central Valley and how it impacts the people who live here. He seemed like a doctor who truly cares about his patients, so I asked to see him before anyone else. Unlike most quality doctors in this town, he accepts my low-income insurance, and I was approved much more quickly than most specialist referrals. They called me and offered an appointment within less than a week of the phone call!

Office staff is very friendly, helpful, and fast. Very efficient and up-to-date. Dr. Buddiga is kind and patient, will answer all of your questions, and respects your time. He'll listen to whatever you have to say and proceed with whatever works for you as an individual.

My first appointment was quick, I was seen immediately and within minutes I was given a food allergy test. When the results were all negative he ordered blood work, and offered me an environmental allergy test just a week later. When I got that test, I lit up like a Christmas tree. He discussed with me the option of immunotherapy shots, fully transparent about the commitment it requires, and said we'd only proceed once I was ready. In the meantime he told me which OTC allergy meds would best supplement my current treatment. He scheduled an appointment in a few months, and said to call and make one sooner if I was ready before then.

I've had a lot of horrible experiences with doctors in this town, especially suffering from chronic illnesses and low income. Dr. Buddiga is every exception. I've already recommended him to several people and will continue to do so. I look forward to working with him in the future. You know a doctor is special when you actually get excited about your appointments!
