Latitude Food Allergy Care Opens Specialized Clinic in San Diego

The new facility, located at 15706 Pomerado Road, addresses a persistent shortage of allergy specialists in the region. While national data indicates that over 33 million Americans live with food allergies, many are restricted to strictly avoiding allergens rather than pursuing active treatment. Dr. Laubach brings over two decades of experience to the practice, having previously co-directed the Food Allergy Center at Rady Children's Hospital and participated in over 100 studies on oral immunotherapy and biologics.

Patients at the Poway clinic gain access to evidence-based protocols, including oral immunotherapy (OIT) and Xolair. Latitude reports a 94 percent success rate for OIT patients, which rises to 98 percent for children under four. Beyond clinical procedures, the practice utilizes a proprietary app for real-time reaction tracking and dose logging. Through an affiliation with Children's Hospital Los Angeles, the network continues to expand its reach across Southern California, offering direct physician involvement in every patient visit to ensure continuity of care.
