What People Say About US
I suffer from severe allergies and asthma and have finally found relief after seeing Dr. Mangat. Dr. Mangat is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and responsive. I trust and recommend her to anyone that is looking to manage their allergies and asthma. Thanks to Dr. Mangat, I am able to enjoy the outdoors again. Also, the office is clean and the staff is wonderful.
Polite staff and competent provider. Got me situated for my asthma in the first visit đđŸ
Have had a really nice experience here Doctor Mangat is a very nice woman and a wonderful provider. I came here through the VA and have had all my concerns and issues listened to, the front office is very nice and its very easy to get my shot. I usually don't wait too long, and everyone is really polite. Doctor Mangat is also well known and has many accolades, she obviously is very passionate about what she does. If you deal with any of the staff they are very knowledgeable as well. Thank you!
Dr. Mangat is an excellent asthma & allergist specialist. I was having trouble controlling my asthma as I was getting older with a lot of flare-ups. She ran a battery of blood test and found out what was going on. She recommended a new medication which has made a difference with my asthma. I am going on 4 1/2 years with my asthma being well control and I appreciate her very much. Her PA Stephanie is also very good. The Office staff is very pleasant and cordial to work with. I will not be looking for a new doctor of this specialist for a longtime I pray. I also fine that Dr. Mangat and Stephanie her PA take time listening and answering questions I may have, they also show concern for my well being and health. Thank you for your care and concern.
They are awesome. Been coming here a few years now. I have 3 types of asthma, allergies and copd. I do allergy shots as well, which sometimes I forget about, but they always manage to fit me into the schedule. The staff is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. I recently started bringing my daughter also. It's nice to be able to take the whole family to one place and still get the individualized care. I would highly recommend. Cost is very reasonable. I honestly didn't think I could afford to do anything beyond over the counter medications for my allergies. I don't get sinus and upper respiratory infections every year anymore either. They really have improved my quality of life.
I have been a patient of Dr. Mangat's for 8 years now and believe that she's one of the best, most knowledgeable physicians I have ever met. Her staff is extremely polite, efficient and make you feel at ease. Genuinely glad that we found her and I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for an allergist.
Dr Mangat was very kind and spoke with such elegance. Her bed side manner was better than I couldâve asked for. I felt as if I was strongly listened to and a large part of the decision process for my treatment.
I cannot say enough about Dr Mangat! She is kind, smart, compassionate and always has time to listen to you. She has helped me manage my asthma which was uncontrolled at times. It is totally managed now and I am enjoying activities I had missed out on for so long. She is a real gem! Joy Shelley RN, retired!
Dr. Mangat has been my allergy and asthma specialist for almost 15 years. As long as she is in practice there will be no reason for me to consider finding anyone else. I highly recommend Dr. Mangat for her experience, knowledge, and care for me as her patient.
I am a new patient of Dr. Mona Mangat, MD and her staff. I started seeing her a month ago. It has been a wonderful experience. Not only did she prescribe medicine that helped with my coughing and breathing issues, Dr. Mangat and her staff performed tests to determine the cause of my problems. She explained the causes of asthma and the difference between an allergy and intolerance to a substance. She is very thorough and follows up to make sure the problem is solved. I would recommend Dr. Mangat to anyone who suffers from allergy or asthma symptoms.
Dr. Mangat and her staff were terrific. She was very attentive and knowledgeable with every question and issue I had. She is an exceptional physician, she listened to everything I said and helped me with very informative information. Highly recommend!!
Dr. Mangat and the staff of BAAA are phenomenal. I am very impressed. I have been cared for by both Dr. Mangat and Stephanie, the PA. They were both very kind, compassionate, and caring. I felt seen and heard. I highly recommend BAAA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to stop my anti-histamines?
When skin prick testing (SPT) is used to help diagnose allergies the process is blocked by the use of anti-histamines & medications with anti-histaminic properties. That means your testing would reveal false negative results. Many anti-histamines can be cleared from the body within 3 days but some can take up to 7 days. On average, stopping your anti-histamines for 5 days is long enough to allow the testing to be accurate.
Does skin prick testing hurt?
Skin prick testing (SPT) has become less uncomfortable over the years. We currently use a plastic device that looks like a toothpick to scratch the skin with allergens. In children we use a multi-pronged device that requires only one actual prick for every 8 allergens we are testing for. The testing occurs quickly and involves no needles or blood. Most testing is well tolerated by even young children. Results are available within 15 minutes. It is best to bring something to occupy your child during the testing like a book or DVD player or tablet so they will not touch or scratch their back once the testing has been placed.
Why do some people receive blood testing for the diagnosis of allergies?
Blood testing for allergens is commonly known as a RAST (radioallergosorbent test) or Immunocap test. This testing is appropriate in some circumstances where the specific antigens are not available in a skin testing format or in patients in whom skin testing is not safe (certain drugs or medical conditions). In general, skin prick testing is the âgold standardâ in diagnosing allergies and has the greatest accuracy.
Why doesnât your office offer allergy treatment under the tongue â known as sub-lingual immunotherapy (SLIT)?
SLIT has been studied for nearly a decade now is known to be effective in symptom reduction for certain allergies. Unfortunately, in the US we have no laboratories that make commercially available treatments to be used as SLIT. SLIT is not FDA approved in the US and is not a covered service by most insurance companies. Local providers that may be providing SLIT are doing so with non-FDA approved products. We feel that SLIT will become available in the US in the coming years and we look forward to being able to provide this treatment option to our patients that may benefit from it.
Do you have extended office hours?
We offer extended hours on Thursday evenings to accommodate working, busy families.
