When there are allergies and asthma present in a family, it is important to have a physician who you believe to be knowledgeable. A physician whom you trust. You should have no doubts that your family is in expert care should there be an asthmatic attack. Sadly, this is not the case with Dr. Lulla at the Kaiser in Santa Clara. I have no faith in the department or in Dr. Lulla. Why? Here are some examples: recently while having allergy testing done, a family member who eats peanut butter daily tested positive for a peanut allergy. This is inaccurate testing. Another family member with a history of asthma, spent hours in an emergency room receiving three nebulizer treatments for acute asthma, but was told by Dr. Lulla that there was no asthma, even though there is a long history of it.. This kind of craziness is unacceptable and downright scary. Dr. Lulla has also prescribed unnecessary medications for someone in the family who as it turned out, had an undiagnosed sinus infection. This person was seen at the Redwood City Kaiser allergy department where the correct diagnosis was made. I will never step foot in this department again. Why not one star? They have taken family members in when it was difficult to get a referral from a kaiser doctor, (another Kaiser issue). This I appreciate. When epipens were needed, they did not hesitate to prescribe. I give them credit for that.
