Food Allergy Treatment Center Reseda CA | Expert Care
Food Allergy Care Center provides comprehensive food allergy treatment and oral immunotherapy services to Reseda, California residents. Our expert team offers both in-person and telemedicine consultations for personalized allergy care.
Food Allergy Care Center serves families throughout Reseda, California with specialized food allergy treatment from our facility at 16661 Ventura Blvd # 409, Suit 409, Encino, CA 91436. We work with kids and adults across the San Fernando Valley who deal with food allergies—whether it's managing a single allergen or handling multiple sensitivities that complicate daily life.
We use advanced diagnostic methods including food allergy testing with skin prick testing, serum-specific IgE testing, and component-resolved diagnostics to pinpoint exactly which allergens trigger reactions. Our specialized oral immunotherapy (OIT) programs help Reseda patients build tolerance to common allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, and sesame.
We help you create personalized plans to prevent anaphylaxis and prepare your family for emergencies. Insurance from Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, and Cigna helps keep care affordable.
We offer telemedicine appointments through Doxy.me, a HIPAA-compliant platform. You get secure virtual consultations, follow-ups, and OIT dose adjustments without leaving your Reseda home.
Managing food allergies while honoring your family's dietary traditions takes real personalized attention. Our location in nearby Encino gives residents throughout Reseda easy access to our services.
Food traditions matter deeply in Reseda's neighborhoods, and allergies can threaten that connection to family heritage. Many families worry about losing cultural food practices when allergies enter the picture. Our treatment plans help you maintain those traditions safely through education and care built specifically for your situation.
Working families in Reseda benefit from our Doxy.me telemedicine option—you can handle medication management and oral immunotherapy adjustments without taking time away from your job or family responsibilities. We accept Medicare, Tricare, and UnitedHealthcare, making sure coverage reaches Reseda's diverse population including veterans and seniors in this established San Fernando Valley community.
Food Allergy Care Center provides medically supervised oral immunotherapy (OIT) programs specifically designed to help Reseda children and adults build tolerance to food allergens through gradually increasing doses under expert clinical oversight. Our evidence-based protocols follow strict safety guidelines with continuous monitoring throughout the desensitization process.
Our peanut allergy treatment includes both FDA-approved Palforzia protocols and customized desensitization programs tailored to individual patient needs and tolerance levels. We provide specialized tree nut allergy treatment covering walnut, cashew, almond, pistachio, pecan, hazelnut, and macadamia nut allergies with component-resolved testing to determine cross-reactivity patterns.
Reseda families managing milk allergies often ask about baked milk challenges. This approach works well because many children tolerate milk when it's been heated into food like bread or muffins—proteins change structure during baking. We also use casein-specific immunotherapy for patients who don't tolerate baked forms. Our egg allergy programs feature baked egg challenges and advanced diagnostic testing for ovomucoid and ovalbumin sensitivity assessment.
Keeping track of your OIT progress is simple with our Doxy.me telemedicine option.

We track your progress, review symptom diaries, and adjust treatment protocols without requiring trips to our Encino facility. Reseda patients undergoing oral immunotherapy benefit from virtual dose adjustment consultations, where our specialists guide you safely through each desensitization phase.
When we do medication management reviews, we cover epinephrine auto-injector techniques so you're confident using it in a real emergency. We check how well antihistamines are working for you and update your emergency action plan together in real time. Virtual sessions include allergy education tailored to your specific environmental challenges and lifestyle.

We use a range of testing methods at Food Allergy Care Center to figure out what you're actually allergic to and how serious your reactions might be. Our skin prick testing gives results within 15-20 minutes, rapidly identifying common allergens affecting families throughout the San Fernando Valley community.
We perform serum-specific IgE blood testing for detailed allergen analysis and cross-reactivity assessment, especially helpful for patients with extensive eczema or those unable to stop antihistamines. Our component-resolved diagnostic testing identifies the specific proteins within complex allergens like sesame, tree nuts, and milk, giving you precise information for targeted treatment.
We evaluate your individual risk of anaphylaxis based on testing results, clinical history, and co-factors that might trigger worse reactions. These evaluations guide personalized emergency action plans matched to your specific risk profile and lifestyle.
Reseda families can access these advanced testing services through insurance coverage including Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and Blue Shield of California.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this practice.
We had a wonderful experience at Allergy & Immunology Center Inc. Dr. Ryan Shilian and his team were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive from start to finish. The office was clean, organized, and ran on time, which made the whole visit feel smooth and stress-free. Dr. Shilian took the time to really listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and create a plan that felt thoughtful and personalized. I never felt rushed, and it was obvious that the staff genuinely care about their patients. If you’re looking for an allergist who is both professional and compassionate, I highly recommend this practice. It’s rare to find a medical office that combines expertise with such a warm, supportive environment.
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.
I am a patient of Dr. Ryan Shillian & sought him out after carefully reviewing specialists in immunology. I had previously seen allergists & immunologists & was specifically looking for a physician who could help diagnose & address complex issues that go beyond what many general allergists are able to manage. From my very 1st visit, Dr. Shillian impressed me with his professionalism, depth of knowledge, & most importantly, his genuine kindness & compassion. He takes the time to truly listen. I have never once felt rushed during my appointments, including my most recent visit. Despite coming in with many questions, he patiently addressed each one & did not conclude the visit until I felt fully informed & reassured. It is rare to find a physician who is not only highly skilled & in high demand, but who also remains so present, humble, & attentive with their patients. Dr. Shillian strikes that balance beautifully, & it speaks volumes about his character & commitment to patient care. I am equally impressed with his staff ( Nadia, in particular), is very kind, polite, accommodating, & welcoming. The entire office reflects a positive, calm, & caring environment, clearly a reflection of the values Dr. Shillian upholds.
It’s so hard to find an allergist and immunologist in one. Dr Shilian’s office was great! Nadia at the front desk is amazing and on top of it! And Dr Shilan is warm and knowledgeable. He took a deep dive into my daughter’s history and made a detailed plan on how to proceed to help her. He listened to all of our concerns and addressed everything. We feel very confident in his care and look forward to finding solutions we’ve spent years looking for!
Dr. Shilian is the definition of what a doctor should be. From the moment you walk in, he greets you with warmth and patience. My 4 year old son liked him so much! He takes his time, listens deeply, and never rushes you through an appointment. His attention to detail is exceptional as he explains things clearly, explores every concern, and makes sure you truly understand your options. What stood out most was how compassionate and invested he is in his patients’ well-being. You can tell he cares, not just clinically but personally. It is rare to find a physician who dedicates this much time, patience, and caring energy to each person. I feel fortunate to have found him and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a thoughtful and thorough doctor.
