Super friendly staff and great doctors. I'm in and out in 30 minutes usually including parking. Dr Doroudchi and everyone who has interacted with me have been stellar. read more

Super allergy practice. Melissa, Leah, Savannah, and Drs M & D are great. But also the coffee machine is 10/10 lol. Park in the basement in the structure instead of driving up for easiest parking, or come late in the afternoon for a shot. read more

This office is the best . Dr Brian Modena is exceptional in his knowledge base, kind, he listens and hears you. He is an expert diagnostician and gives comprehensive and quality care. I say this as a nurse practitioner with 20 yrs of critical care experience. His staff is stellar kind, organized and truly caring I highly recommend Modena Allergy Clinic read more

I honestly can't put my finger on why, but this has been one of the most difficult experiences I've had with a medical office. I've been waiting patiently for over two months to start treatment after testing, and the follow-through just hasn't been there. There's been a major lack of communication, and I've had to be the one constantly following up. Even then, I'm still unclear on what's actually needed to move forward with treatment. It's exhausting. If you have BlueCross BlueShield, I'd recommend double-checking the phrase "serums for treatment should be ready within two weeks" before starting here. Something about how they process BCBS doesn't seem to work like it normally does at other offices, and that might be part of the issue. Either way, it shouldn't be this hard to get answers or care--especially when I'm doing my part to follow up. read more

I had my first appt with the Modena Allergy Center in Solana Beach. Let me just say.. from the moment I walked into their beautiful office, the reception staff was very welcoming & helpful with the check-in process. They brought me right in to the exam room and shortly after met with Dr. Modena. He was thorough in his questioning and I could see the wheels turning in his head as to what the best medical action is for me. They were able to do an initial allergy testing to start the process rolling & save me time. I look forward to getting some relief with my issues & working with a great staff as a bonus!! read more

Dr. Moderna is an outstanding doctor. He really cares, is extremely knowledgeable and the office staff is the best.

The whole staff is amazing here from the moment you step in. I have dealt with eczema my whole life without ever really knowing why. The doctors and nurse practitioners make me feel seen and heard. They are working to find answers and not just quick solutions. I would highly recommend this office to anyone! read more

We've come here for an initial exam and now a food challenge and have only good things to say about our whole experience for our son's food allergies. All staff from the front to the back have been pleasant and we felt well cared for the whole time during what could be a very anxiety including experience. We've met with Dr Modena for the initial exam and Dourouchi for our challenge and we absolutely love them both so far, so patient with my many questions and concerns. So glad we found this practice! read more

This is an excellent medical office! From the moment you walk in to the time you wait for Dr. Modena (which is very little!), your experience as a patient at Modena Allergy and Asthma will be stellar. Dr. Modena listened to me and because of him, I am finally on my way to better respiratory health. The staff is intelligent, kind, reliable, and a pleasure to be around, too. read more

I am so grateful to Dr Modena, Dr Doroudchi, and the whole staff at Modena Asthma and Allergy! This team was able to help me take control of my Asthma. I am so grateful for their efforts to ensure I got the right medicine. read more

Dr. Modena changed my life, and that's not an exaggeration. I thought I had an adult-onset crustacean allergy (specifically shrimp, but I avoided lobster and crab too) that appeared 2.5 years ago when I had a few inconsistent allergic reactions after eating shrimp (the reactions only happened sometimes, not every time). I was told by a different allergist that I was definitely allergic and to avoid shrimp and all other crustaceans forever. Finally I convinced myself to get a second opinion, and I found Dr. Modena. After listening to my history and doing skin and blood testing, he recommended a food challenge. I was VERY apprehensive and scared and nervous before the challenge after thinking I had a severe shrimp allergy for so long. Happy to say I passed with no reactions! Dr. Modena was very knowledgeable and up to date and answered my multitude of questions. I even had a telehealth visit with the nurse practitioner (Analisa) to talk through the procedure and ask more questions beforehand. The food challenge process was very methodical and started out slow and I felt very comfortable the whole time. They have a nice private lounge where you hang out with a tv and lots of toys for the kids while you go through the process. They seem to be very experienced with doing food challenges. Thank you Dr. Modena and Analisa and the other nurses who were there during my food challenge! I wish I remembered the name of the nurse who checked on me through the whole process and who gave me the shrimp, she was super nice and her presence was very comforting when I had to eat something so scary to me! read more

While I didn't figure out what was causing my itching, I found the front desk and medical staff to be very friendly and helpful. The doctor in particular was very patient, sat down with me and answered all questions I had. He didn't think it was an allergy causing my symptoms but more of a friction irritation, and referred me to a dermatologist. I do feel I was able to gain more clarity and insight into my symptoms. I followed his advice to moisturize with a particular lotion, and have noticed my symptoms are lessening! So perhaps I don't need to go to the dermatologist after all. I feel like it's difficult nowadays to receive kind and competent care. They ticked all the boxes. I also love their espresso machine. All in all it was a good experience. read more

I only have good things to say about Dr. Modena - he's attentive, works together with his patients to come up with a treatment plan that matches their goals & lifestyles, and his staff is incredibly kind and helpful. On top of that, his new office is super nice & centrally located in the UTC area. I always recommend Dr. Modena to any of my friends looking for an allergist in SD. If you're looking for a new allergist, Dr. Modena is your guy - you won't be disappointed! read more

What an attentive doctor - Dr. Modena was super knowledgeable and helpful. I really appreciated the time I he spent with me. The office is also welcoming and friendly -especially the front desk staff. Thank you Dr. Modena for your help! read more

My daughter was breaking out into hives after eating peanut butter. Dr. Modena and staff were very good listeners and took their time to address all of my concerns. I was so fortunate to have been able to visit this office to get up-to-date advice about babies and allergens. read more

Best allergist in San Diego!! My daughter had recurring coughs and didn't know what to do for months... I was hopeless and desperate for any remedy and Dr. Brian Modena was the first doctor to accurately diagnose her with asthma. He has been a godsend! His treatment completely cured my daughter and I am so grateful! read more

This doctor listens and has great bed side manner. Seems to be willing to re look at things other have dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone. His front desk staff are very pleasant as well. The care was smooth. Wish the parking was a little better but other than that would definately recommend. read more

The absolutely WORST experience I've ever gotten when seeking medical care. Be aware of how they are billing your insurance for your allergy serum. They prepared 150 units of serum but only billed 20 units each time to the insurance company, stating this was the only way they could bill. In the meantime, I'm being charged a copay for each time they bill, which equates to about $300. When I tried to do the billing department's job for them and get this all straightened out I was met with snarky, unprofessional attitudes and no returned calls. I had to get my insurance company to call them and explain that there is nothing stating they can't bill all at once, even though I will not be using what they are billing, I plan to go somewhere else. When trying to discuss this with the billing manager, at one point I was told the conversation was being recorded, as if to intimidate me. I don't know what is wrong there, but something is not right, and I will never go back. Lesson learned. read more

Dr. Modena and his staff are phenomenal, from the minute you make your appointment to the follow up until you arrive, one you arrive and you're checked in the staff is on point until Dr. Modena comes in. Now Dr. Modena is on point and thorough with his exam, he takes his time to make sure you have his undivided attention and to make sure he answers all your questions. This is definitely a doctor I would recommend, amazing doctor and amazing staff. I saw him for my nasal spray dependency and he was the only doctor to help me, I am slowly getting off of the nasal spray and I am able to breath normal. Thank you Dr. Modena and team. read more

I've had The absolute best experience with Dr Brian Modena! I've had allergies since I was young and have never had a doctor I really loved. Dr Modena truly cares about his patients and really takes his time at each and every visit to discuss any issues I'm having at length. He's even gone out of his way to fit me into his schedule at times when I needed it. I'm so glad he's finally opened his own practice as his new office is stunning. Everyone in the office is very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend going here as I do to all my friends and family. read more

Excellent attention to detail! The office and everyone there is super knowledgeable and helpful - we really appreciate Dr. Modena!

Dr.Modena and his entire staff were absolutely tremendous throughout my entire experience. They were extremely professional and their office provided an amazing environment that exceeded all my expectations in every way. This is definitely a place I would recommend for any and all allergy concerns! read more

I've carried an EpiPen with me my entire life due to a diagnosed severe penicillin and shellfish allergy decades ago, and I thought it was time to get tested again when I heard that people can grow out of their allergies. So, as someone who has never seen an allergist before, I was nervous and overwhelmed, to say the least. I am so grateful to have met Dr. Modena and his awesome team who all patiently listened to my history and guided me through the testing process. Their reassurance was much needed as I went through the skin prick test, ID test, and the actual 4-hour food challenge test. And since it was literally the first time I'm going to not-accidentally eat a whole shrimp in my life, I was so anxious the day before; but they helped make me feel at ease, especially in their spa-like testing room. It was so relaxing and you can see that the practice cares about their anxious patients by the amount of thought and detail that went into this room. :) They were able to answer all my questions while being sensitive to my fears and past diagnosis, I learned so much more about penicillin/mollusks/shellfish, they provided a very comfortable environment for the whole experience, never felt rushed, and I appreciated the follow-up and thorough communication this summer. As an added bonus, it turns out, I'm not allergic to both of them anymore so I've been eating all the seafood I can possibly eat in the last month --only this time, without fearing for my life. LOL! This is so game-changing; I highly highly recommend them. Thank you Dr. Modena, Sophie, and Rose! read more

I drive all the way from OC to see him! He's the best allergist I've found. Thank you, Dr Modena!

Very impressed how Dr. Modena sat down with my son for such an extended period of time to truly understand not only the immediate issue (bee sting allergy), but also his history including food sensitivities. Dr. Modena ordered the test and confirmed the allergy, and provided a thorough recommendation to address it in the short term and long term. And he referred us to an allergy clinic near my son's university (including sending along all his notes) that would make things convenient for him as he began immunotherapy. We feel very fortunate to have made a connection with a physician who has a clinical expertise, empathetic demeanor, and helpful temperament. read more
