Description

Specialties

Allergies can be very difficult for patients and their families. Food allergies have become a major issue for many children and adults, while asthma and hay fever remain as significant public health concerns.

As an allergist I specialize in treating asthma, allergies and disorders of the immune system. This includes conditions such as environmental and food allergies, allergic rashes (eczema or hives) and sinus infections.

I perform environmental and food allergy and asthma testing in my office. I also offer allergy shots and the latest oral allergy therapy. All ages are welcome and I accept most major insurance policies.

History

Established in 2009.

I provide compassionate, personalized care that places the

needs of the patient first. I offer the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of allergic disorders, asthma and immunologic conditions.

Joshua D.

Business Owner

I opened my allergy, asthma and immunology practice in August 2009. I grew up in the South Bay and attended college at Brandeis University. I then obtained a Master’s Degree in Public Health from Yale University, and obtained my medical training at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

More recently, I completed a pediatrics residency at Harbor-​UCLA Medical Center and received the Joseph St. Geme Research Award.

For more specialized training in allergy, asthma and immunology, I completed a fellowship at National Jewish Health in Denver, CO – the #1 respiratory hospital in the United States for the past 13 years.

I’m very happy to return home to serve the community.

Impossible to get in touch with him or his office anymore. Very disappointed :(Contacting him never used to be a problem but ever since his address/​business move, it’s impossible. Tried contacting him by email, phone call, and even messaged the business on Unilocal

Dr. Davidson was excellent and this is no review is in no way a reflection of his expertise.
The front office, billing office and electronic communication platform at this office, however, is unworkable. Even though I called in advance to clear insurance and was told I was cleared by the front office, when I arrived the front desk had no record of this and so I spent the first 15 minutes on the phone with my insurance double checking I would be covered for my visit.
Following the appointment, I got an explanation of benefits saying my services were not covered, despite being in network and having met my deductible and OOP max for the year. After another call, my insurance company confirmed the wrong billing codes had been entered by Dr. Davidson’s office, we tried to three-​way in the office, who incorrectly (and rudely) told us we had to call their third-​party billing department. Once we got the billing department on the phone they confirmed what my insurance rep had already said — that the doctor’s office itself would need to correct the codes. So back on the phone again to try and route through the front office (rude). After an hour and 15 minutes of this, my insurance company called me back directly to confirm all was clear and taken care of.
Fast forward three weeks and I get a bill from this office. (!!!) It’s one of those maddening healthcare back and forths that makes you want to just scream in frustration.
I’m posting this in the hopes of getting someone’s attention at Dr. Davidson’s office who will take ownership of this problem and fix it.

Dr. Davidson is fantastic! I’m really impressed with the service I received today. He was on time for my appointment and took the time to listen to what I was saying, he answered all my questions and didn’t rush me out the door. He is very knowledgable and explained everything going on with my symptoms. He was thorough without wasting my time or money with suggesting unnecessary testing. I’m so happy I found him! He deserves 10 stars!

Dr. Davidson was super helpful and gave great allergy advice for my finance’s condition even though the purpose of the visit was for my own allergy test. He even offered that my fiancé call him to get more specific advice on his allergies which shows he genuinely cares about people and wants to help. The facilities were nice, my appointment was on time, and the nurse was very friendly and gentle with the check up. Will definitely be coming back and recommend others to do the same!

i only seen this doctor twice for the same thing. He listens and he seems to be very caring. I was telling him about my eyes and he was telling me some solutions for my eyes. I told him it is allergies. So he gave me some prescribed drops. I used these a few yars ago and it seem to work so i was excited. This time the drops didn’t seem to work like they did a few years ago, so i went back and I found out I have dry eyes and what to use for this and why and how I got this.

The last time I had allergy skin testing done, it was fifteen years ago, back where I grew up (Illinois) and that doctor had covered my entire back and arms. The itching was almost unbearable.
With Dr. Davidson, it was much more tolerable. He tests for allergens specific to the region and your particular case, so in my case only the skin on my forearms were used… maybe a dozen (max) «sites» on each arm.
The results were really interesting — not only am I not allergic to cats/​dogs anymore (ZOMG!), but I now know what local allergens affect me. He also recommended a nose spray that’s working well (when I remember to use it).
Low-​key, friendly, informative… Highly recommended, even if it’s a bit of a drive.

Dr. Davidson is absolutely amazing. He is so knowledgable and thorough. He listened to everything I had to say, asked questions, the told me his diagnosis and treatment plan. He explains things very well and really has a great way of communicating medical terms/​conditions in a way that’s so easy to understand. I left feeling confident in the medicine he prescribed and the tests he ordered for me. I give Dr. Davidson the highest recommendation possible and I can’t possibly thank him enough for helping me get over a really bad allergic reaction.

My pediatrician recommended Dr. Davidson to see if my son was having food allergies. There was no wait, which I very much appreciate. The front desk lady was very nice.
Dr. Davidson was patient and reassuring. He took his time, watched my son eat something and have his reaction. I am relieved to know that it is not a food allergy. My son got tested on his back for eggs, and he is allergic. I already knew this, so no big surprise.

Went to Dr. Davidson after reading the Unilocal reviews and everyone was RIGHT!!! Awesome, personable guy who took his time with me and made me feel secure in his diagnosis. I went to him to find out why I had a severe allergic reaction that sent me to the ER while on vacation. He listened to the history of what led up to the reaction and he ruled out an allergy to shellfish on the spot! YAY-​I can eat shrimp!
Great doctor! Great experience! You won’t be disappointed!

Wow, what a doctor! I wish all of my experiences with doctors were like this.
Since we moved to the South Bay from the Westside, we needed a new allergy doctor for my 6 yr old son. His previous allergy doctor was okay but the office staff was terrible.
Joanne, the front office lady (perhaps nurse as well?) was very nice. She did not rush me over the phone and was very detailed when I made my appointment. Totally different experience from our previous allergy doctor’s office staffs.
I walked into the doctor’s office with lots of questions. Dr. Davidson not only patiently answered all of my questions, but he also gave me lots of his personal opinions so I can compare the information with our previous doctor. He showed us how to use Auvi-​Q (a new competitor to EpiPen) and recommended it over EpiPen.
Dr. Davidson himself does the skin test, which I liked. This was different from our experience from the previous doctor because the nurse usually did the skin tests.
My son got scared and didn’t want to do it, but Dr. Davidson patiently and ever so gently talked to him, reassuring him that it won’t hurt. He said «I promise I won’t hurt you. Let’s just try one and see how you feel».
He was so gentle that after the first little scratch, my son was totally okay with continuing the scratch test. Dr. Davidson said he has two little boys as well so he totally understands how kids feel. What a sweet doctor!
Great with kids, caring, gentle and thorough. Can’t ask for a better doctor!
Thank you Dr. Davidson & Joanne!

Dr. Davidson is an excellent doctor with an impeccable bedside manner. He’s nice, knowledgeable, approachable and a good listener.
In my first appointment with him he actually took the time to review the Medical History form I filled out and even thanked me for completing it. That’s a first for a doctor – at least in my experience.
He allows plenty of time for questions and he provides detailed answers as opposed to the simple yes or no answers you typically get from doctors. He actively listens to concerns and takes them seriously. At the time of my appointment, I was scheduled for a minor sinus procedure that I was nervous about. Dr. Davidson prepared me for it by explaining the process, tools and steps involved. In doing so, it helped minimize my anxiety.
Later, I would find myself in need of a different kind of specialist and even though I was apprehensive to bother Dr. Davidson, I reached out to him anyway. I’m glad I did. When I called the office, I was able to speak with Dr. Davidson directly which is a PLUS. In short, he offered assistance where he could and provided me with referrals along with a reminder that he’s happy to help when and where he can.
Additionally, Joanne, Dr. Davidson’s Receptionist/​Office Manager is the consummate professional. She is consistently pleasant and very helpful. From the first phone call to all of the appointments, she’s always nice. It’s my opinion that other medical professionals could take a cue from Dr. Davidson and Joanne. You will not be disappointed with this doctor (or his staff). If you have children, I think this is the place for them for sure.

Dr. Davidson is without a doubt one of the best doctors I have ever met (and I’m a 31 year old para with spinal cord injury so I’ve seen a few), and he is really cool to boot. I echo everyone else’s accolades for him.
I go in saying «sorry I have 50 questions» and he smiles and says «that’s ok, ask away» and he patiently answers them all, and very thoroughly explains everything while looking James Dean-​ish leaning on the wall.
Dare I say it’s a pleasure going to this doctor. It really is, dare I say, «enjoyable» and always a good learning experience each time I go to Dr. Davidson. More doctors need to be this good.

Dr. Joshua Davidson was recommended to me from my Dermatologists Office. At the time Dr. Davidson was new to the Torrance area, but the recommendation raved that he was excellent and had a great perspective as well as outlook in his area of expertise. I was convinced… I telephoned his office and was able to make a quick appointment with his assistant Joanne.
Joanne is extremely kind, caring, and loving individual. Since day one, she has treated me with the upmost respect. Joanne accommodates my hectic schedule and when I am in need of an emergency visit, she always helps. She truly goes above and beyond the scope of her duties.
Furthermore, several years have past and I am until this very day… CURRENTLY a patient of Dr. Joshua Davidson. Because of his magnificent care and treatment, I now own a dog. I never thought this would be possible?! Every time I would get near a cat and/​or dog, I would have an allergy and asthma attack. Those days are over! All it took was a pleasant visit to Dr. Joshua Davidson’s Office.

Dr. Davidson is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. I seen him at Kaiser in Downey since he works there part time. On the day of my appointment, my babysitter cancelled last minute and I had to bring my toddler with me to the doctors office. Unfortunately, she wailed the minute we got into the office because she thought the appointment was for her. Although she was bawling the whole time we were in the doctor’s office, I still was able to see Dr. Davidson. I felt so bad (even though I knew Dr. Davidson did not take her crying personal) and I apologized more than once for my screaming baby. He was totally understanding and he still managed to counsel me during my appointment with wonderful bedside manner. Even with the situation at hand, he didn’t rush through my appointment and he took the time to answer any and all questions I had. I highly recommend Dr. Davidson and will definitely be requesting him in the future should I need to return for treatment.

Dr. Davidson went to Yale and then med school at UCLA (which is among the best ranked in the country), then did his residency at one of the top programs in the country. The guy is SMART. Like, super smart. He’s also super nice. He has the perfect bedside manner. He takes the time to listen. You don’t feel rushed like you typically do at the doctor’s office. He truly listens and takes the time necessary to get to know you. He is honest caring and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Davidson. Also, the receptionist Joanna is fantastic. I have never called and not gotten through immediately and she treats you like you’re part of the family.
This guy just gets 5 star review after 5 star review. Even his filtered reviews are all 5 star reviews. Unilocal has this terrible filter system — which is just a computer algorithm — that keeps reviews from showing up. Along with everyone else that posted a review on Unilocal,I would highly recommend Dr. Davidson for any of your allergy concerns.

So pleasantly surprised by my first visit. I’ve been allergic to everything since childhood and doctors have never been able to help me. Dr. Davidson was like an amazing allergy fountain of knowledge, clearly knowledgeable about all my symptoms, their causes, and how to combat them. He answered my mountain of questions with ease plus sent me home with reading materials, immediate test results and samples.
Being a Unilocal junkie myself, I’m also super impressed by his 21st century web presence!

Dr. Davidson is the best! He is a rare combination of being extremely smart, well-​educated and on top of the latest medical research as well as nice, warm and friendly.
I first took my son to see him after a scary 4 day hospital stay where my son was in Pediatric Intensive Care due to a severe asthma attack, of which he had a history. My son and I came to Dr. Davidson pretty traumatized, but he succeeded in calming both of us down and coming up with a customized prevention/​treatment plan that didn’t involve nearly as many drugs as the hospital was pushing on us to use after my son’s release. He analyzed my son’s allergy test results and gave us useful tips to help prevent my son’s allergic reactions that were often triggering his asthma. I am ecstatic to report that our appointment with Dr. Davidson was 4 months ago and my son has had no asthma flare-​ups or even symptoms since then! This has been quite an astonishing turnaround for us since it seemed like my son was constantly hooked up to his nebulizer before we saw Dr. Davidson and implemented his preventative plan. Our family is grateful to have such an effective and caring allergy and asthma doctor as Dr. Davidson!
