One team tracking your full history
Your records in one place
Allergy and Asthma Associates of Reno has been serving Northern Nevada and California since 1974. We believe that as physicians our one primary responsibility is to our patients. We will provide excellent care for your allergies or asthma to the best of our abilities.
What we do
Care for the full picture — not just the sneeze.
Allergic disease and asthma rarely stay tidy. Skin, sinus, gut, lungs, environment — we test for what's behind the symptom and build a long-term plan you can actually follow.
Diagnosis
Diagnostic breathing test (spirometry) and individualized allergy skin testing.
Asthma management
Controller and rescue regimens, biologics for moderate-to-severe disease, and exacerbation-prevention plans.
Immunotherapy
Subcutaneous (allergy shots) and sublingual options — long-term remission for the right patient. Shot clinics Tue–Fri, 8a–5p.
Why patients choose us
The region's reference point for allergy and asthma.
Fifty years in one community builds something a new clinic can't: pattern recognition, continuity, and a reputation patients trust enough to drive across the valley for.
A team that knows your history
Your provider and the medical assistants who run your testing track your case together in one shared record — so the subtle shifts in your disease get caught, not missed.
Same-visit skin-test results
Skin-test reactions are read in 15–20 minutes, so you leave your testing visit with answers and a written plan — not a two-week wait for results.
The valley's trusted pollen count
Our daily Reno–Sparks pollen and mold report reflects this basin specifically. It's why thousands of locals check in with us every allergy season.
Advanced therapy
In-office immunotherapy — allergy shots and sublingual drops — plus biologic treatment including Xolair for severe asthma and allergic disease, with insurance prior-authorizations coordinated for you.
Depth across the whole field
Food allergy, venom, drug allergy, urticaria, EoE, immune deficiency — subspecialty range most general clinics refer out for.
Care for every age
Fellowship-trained in pediatric and adult allergy. We treat food-allergic toddlers and adults with refractory asthma under one roof.

Answers before you call.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Most plans let you self-refer to an allergist, but some HMOs require a referral from your primary care provider. Call us at (775) 359-5010 and we’ll help verify your specific plan before you book.
How should I prepare for allergy skin testing?
Stop antihistamines and decongestants for 7 days before testing — they suppress the test. Keep taking your nasal sprays and asthma controllers as prescribed. Skin-test reactions are read in 15–20 minutes, so you get results before you leave the testing visit.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans. Call (775) 359-5010 to confirm your specific plan before you book. Cash-pay patients receive a 25% discount at time of service.
Do you treat children as well as adults?
Yes. Dr. Lokshin is fellowship-trained in both pediatric and adult allergy and immunology, and the practice cares for patients across the lifespan — from food-allergic toddlers to adults with severe asthma.
Where do you get the pollen count?
We publish a daily Reno–Sparks pollen and mold report and a recorded hotline (ext. 6). It’s one of the reasons patients across Northern Nevada follow this practice — the count reflects our local valley, not a distant regional average.
New to the practice?
We accept most major insurance plans and offer a 25% discount for cash-pay patients. Appointments are booked by phone — (775) 359-5010, ext. 3 for scheduling.
