Catherine Fuller, MD, is an allergy, asthma, immunology specialist treating patients of all ages in
West Los Angeles. She specializes in providing individualized care, allowing
enough time to evaluate and determine the cause of illness rather than simply treating the
symptoms. The practice’s overall treatment philosophy is to avoid the triggers and to use as few
medications to control the problem.
At Dr. Fuller’s practice, patients are educated on their conditions so they can participate in the
health care decision-making process. She avoids prescribing antibiotics unless they are
absolutely required, and patients are educated in preventive medicine.
Patients are welcomed in a warm, friendly environment where they receive a diagnosis and
individualized treatments for asthma, food allergies, skin conditions, and disorders of the
immune system. Knowing your allergic triggers can prevent serious allergic reactions such as
anaphylaxis. Dr. Fuller and her knowledgeable team offer comprehensive allergy testing and
recommendations for treating allergy symptoms.
Dr. Fuller has been named to Super Doctors of Los Angeles for over 13 years. She is also listed
as one of “America’s Top Physicians”. Use the online booking feature or call the practice to

Because personalized care and attention requires as much time as is needed, we do not contract with any private insurance companies at this time. Our staff will be happy to bill your insurance company for you as a courtesy in order to maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. We encourage you to contact your individual insurance plan to find out what your “out-of-network” benefits are, as they can vary significantly from plan to plan.
Food allergies are increasingly common, especially in young children. Unlike a food sensitivity that leads to stomach upset or bowel distress, a food allergy provokes an immune-system response that could be dangerous and life-threatening.
While everyone else sheds layers to enjoy their time in the summer sun, you feel like covering up. Your face and body are marred by inflamed, raised hives that itch and cause fatigue. Why do you break out in hives as soon as the weather’s nice?
Your friend has an asthma attack if she eats peanuts. You have to run to the bathroom if you eat ice cream. Does that mean you both have food allergies? Or do you have a food sensitivity? What’s the difference, and does it matter? It does.
