    What an amazing experience! From the friendly and professional office staff, the warm natured and wonderful nurse to one OUTSTANDING DOCTOR in Dr Ziegner. Clearly she cares so much about the well being of her patients and takes time with each one in order to give the most thorough and effective care and treatment. My husband Matt has benefited greatly by her care and I’m so grateful for such a wonderful doctor and staff. Thank You!

    If you are searching for an allergist or immunologist search no further. Dr. Ziegner is an amazing caring and conscientious doctor. I was sick my entire life with reoccurring infections. I was dismissed by so many doctors and given months worth of antibiotics. No one ever questioned it. Dr. Ziegner was the first doctor to question my reoccurring infections. She asked if I had ever been tested for primary immunodeficiency (PI) and of course I had not. Dr. Z immediately had me tested and discovered that I have primary immunodeficiency disease. Finally after 43 years of being sick I have an answer as to why. She and her staff worked tirelessly with my insurance company to get me approved for PI medication. They have continued to help me when the insurance company was not wanting to cover a new PI medication. My Mom and I call Dr. Z my angel. It is so wonderful to have such a caring and loving doctor on my side. I thank Dr. Z and her staff for proving such exceptional care.

    I had a very good experience being a patient at the clinic. Dr.Ziegler is very knowledgeable and is willing to listen to my allergy problems. My daughter made an appointment for me to talk to her due to my unresolved problems with allergies while in Thailand. After 4 visits and being prescribed medication, I feel almost 1000% better now. I am ready to travel back to Thailand again. Thank you Dr. Ziegler and all staff at Redondo Beach Riviera Allergy Medical Center.

    Dr. Ziegner was able to help me when no other doctor could. I am so very thankful. She takes time with you and truly cares and educates her patients. They just have to be smart enough to listen! :)

    After suffering from allergy symptoms and a sinus infection for more time than I'd like to admit and consulting my two go-to-medical facilities... My Primary Care was petrified to see me and would only do a video consult and the UrgentCare was only willing to briefly examine me outside the facility... I was then recommended to visit Dr. Ziegner's practice. I found Dr. Ziegner and her staff to be professional in every way... she was very attentive about what I had to say, discussed her thoughts about my case, and started a reasonable treatment plan. I now have what I feel is professional care and the correct medications to work on resolving my issue... A solid recommendation from the first visit.

    Dr. Zeigner was referred to me by my wife who has been seeing her for years. She was incredibly thorough, asked about my background and was very detailed in her follow up. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Zeigner and know she is an excellent allergist. I strongly recommend her; she will get to the bottom of the issue.

  • 5/5 Jame H. 1 year ago on Google
    I appreciate the concern and attention Dr. Ziegner pays to my issues. She is also the only doctor I have who takes copious notes on what we discuss during our visits, and sends me a copy within a day of our appointment. She takes the Hippocratic Oath seriously.

  • 5/5 Nancy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Dr Ziegner is dedicated to her patients. She’s thorough and works diligently to diagnose health problems for successful outcomes. She’s simply the best.

  • 5/5 Jackie H. 2 years ago on Google
    I found my Angel Dr. Z is AMAZING. Thank you caring. We need more Doctors like Dr. Z. She's one of a kind. I trust her with my life. The real GOAT. (greatest of all times) And the office crew made me feel like home I thank you for being AWESOME. Jacqueline

  • 5/5 Sarvin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Ziegler was referred to me by a friend. She was very detailed & patient with me. I didn’t feel rushed at all. I will be referring her to my friends and family. You don’t find doctors like her, these days. I was pleased with the office staff too.

  • 5/5 Juliette S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff and the doctor were fantastic! Friendly and caring. I would absolutely recommend them to everyone.

  • 5/5 Erin M. 3 years ago on Google
    Dr. Ziegner is the first physician for a very long time that I am happy to review and give a full five stars. As a patient and also a medical provider myself, she has earned my respect with her bedside manner and knowledge of her field. She is kind, a great listener, and gives solid medical advice and recommendations for treatment. I have suffered from a genetic chronic illness from birth and seen so many specialists. This is the first since I was under the care of pediatrics, that I have come across a physician who truly cares for her patients and goes beyond the extra mile for their care. Being referred to her has been one of the biggest blessings in trying to manage my chronic illness.

  • 1/5 Jay C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the worst allergist I’ve ever been to!! Her bed side manner is off and her office decor is very outdated !!! (Pictures from 2003 all over the office even the bathroom)!!!. I got a skin test done with Doctor Ziegner which I was waiting a hour and some change to be as her staff called it (READ)….and was allergic to citrus😳, I’ve never had an allergy to citrus or noticed as per Doctor Ziegner “itching of the mouth”, “stomach pain”, and closing of the throat!!!. I was shocked by what I was allergic to and the response from Doctor Ziegner was ‘’COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS’’!!!!. you should never tell your patients anything in that manner.Her staff is very polite her receptionist Taylor and office manager Krista are true delights. Krista made sure questions were answered thorough and the receptionist Taylor made sure my appointments fit my schedule and my specialty copay was accurate. Stay away from this place unless you want three hour long appointments and testing that will ruin your skin permanently in the long run. P.S.A -staff working in that office should run!!!

  • 5/5 Juliana Lutzi S. 5 years ago on Google
    The doctor was personable and thorough. However, we had to wait over 1 1/2 hours to be seen. I understand running a little behind, but this was absolutely uncalled for and unprofessional. Update:. On our next visit, the doctor was on time and was still very efficient and personable. I was very pleased with our second visit and will be continuing going to her.

  • 5/5 James C. 4 years ago on Google
    Quick visit to remove patches and give preliminary reading.

  • 5/5 Madeleine C. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Ziegner's staff was so welcoming and helpful. Dr. Ziegner is so kind and thorough. At my first visit, she took her time to review my medical history and offered many excellent suggestions. I am looking forward to seeing her again after some medical tests. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    Haven't seen Dr Z for about 5 years - and she is still amazing. Her records from the past are super helpful, and she noticed all the medical prescriptions/doctors in the record now - and we discussed them. She is organized and noticed everything!

  • 5/5 Joel F. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent care.

  • 5/5 Mary R. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Ziegner was extremely helpful with my concerns and spent time getting to understand my history and needs. Excellent!

  • 5/5 Richard S. 6 months ago on Google
    She takes her time to understand the condition and factors related to it. You can tell she has a ton of experience and provided a lot of information no other doctors told us about.

  • 5/5 J Y. 9 months ago on Google
    Dr Ziegner is simply the best. Due to my condition, I’ve unfortunately seen over 100 doctors in my lifetime where it has stumped even the prestigious renowned doctors. I’ve been sent here and there on a wild diagnosis goose chase across the country. However, with Dr. Ziegner, she has finally treated me where I’m actually feeling better after 15 years of suffering. How did Dr. Ziegner get it right when everyone else could not? The answer is because she is a true doctor. From the bottom of my heart I am grateful and thankful that a physician like Dr. Ziegner is still practicing. Many physicians get caught up in the script written by the system or in their own special field. But Dr. Ziegner stays true to her profession and true to wanting to cure her patients with no other agenda. As I mentioned I’ve seen many doctors before. I will list the reason’s why she is the best and part of the elite doctors out there. 1. Dr. Ziegner listens carefully. Yes many patients come in and do not describe their symptoms correctly but listening to patients at least is information you can use or not use. I’ve had a Dr. keep prescribing medication that gave me a bad reaction and never really listened always wanting to perform multiple tests. I also had doctor who kept insisting I had a brother which I do not and thought I was the crazy one. 2. She reviews medical history. Many doctors do not want to or are too lazy to go through one’s medical history. You would think doctors would, but many do not in my experience. Doing a little more work early on can save you a lot of work later on. When you are sick and ill, it takes a lot of energy repeating one’s symptoms. When I then used to write and print it out, they were too lazy to read as well. 3. You’re not on the clock with Dr. Ziegner. Often with many specialists, you are on the clock. 10-15 minutes is all you have. How can doctors really diagnose you in 10 minutes especially for tough cases. My case required a lot of time and review. And I know she wasn’t try to clock me and she took her own time to really think about what was causing my illness. 4. Her own testing is thorough. Her practice performed a few tests and everyone was so nice, knowledgeable, organized and the facility was clean. I’m glad I was able to have the test done at their facility. The key also is the right testing. 5. She has a wealth of patient history that is useful. I believe because she is sincere at what she does, she quickly can call up her archive of her patient history in her mind and use them to help figure out other patients. When doctors are just out of school, they will just go by the book. On top of seeing a truly great doctor, her practice Riviera Allergy Medical Center has been great as well. Setting up an appointment is smooth. Everyone who works there is friendly, tentative and competent. When I was really sick, it was easy to reach someone. I also have to say this office is the first place where I can access my visit summary in the portal. Bigger name practices can’t even do that. The portal is very easy to navigate and works well. The portal is the most streamline that I’ve use. I can access my prescriptions, appointment history, billing etc with ease. Overall, I’m taking the time to write this because it’s the least I can do. I’ve felt more normal that I have in 15 years. Time will tell if I’m mostly cured but for now… it’s been lifechanging and hopeful. Thank you Dr. Ziegner!

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 7 months ago on Google
    Dr Zeigner is outstanding. She spent almost an hour with me ( & I already knew what I am allergic too). Kind, thoughtful and thorough. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 T B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great staff. The Doctor is nice, extremely thorough, and takes as much time you need for you to understand what's going on. If 6 stars were possible I'd rate entire office 6 stars.

  • 5/5 Debra C. 10 months ago on Google
    I really loved Riviera Allergy, the only part I didn't like was having to wait a month to be seen initially and another three weeks to get tested for allergies since it's so difficult for me to breathe at the moment, but the doctor spent 11/2hrs., getting to know me and found that comforting to know she cared about me. so I'll just have to wait it out for the testing...but I really adored talking to Doctor Zeigner. And feel like eventually I can be treated.

  • 5/5 Grace C. 6 months ago on Google
    My first visit with Dr Ziegner was 3 hours long; she took thorough inventory of my allergy history, the food I eat, and the products I use on myself. After 3 rounds of allergy tests so things can be ruled out a diagnosis and treatment plan based on science was reached. Dr Z is caring, thorough, and knowledgeable, a good doctor to have!

  • 5/5 Susan D. 6 months ago on Google
    Dr Z is very caring and attentive. My daughter is special needs. She communicates with her in a way that my daughter understands and is very comfortable with. To date I’m very happy and grateful for her expertise and bed side manner. She takes the time to explain to me and I never feel rushed in our appointments. A very experienced professional.

  • 5/5 Cathy A. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Z is great! Very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and an overall fantastic physician. She is very thorough in her examinations and the tests she orders to get the information she needs to make a diagnosis. She has really helped me identify allergens and sensitivities and manages them well!

  • 5/5 Silvia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr Z is kind, caring, and simply amazing. She’s not quick to prescribe medication, but instead she spends time with you, asks all the right questions and listens to better treat you. The office staff are so polite, professional and helpful! Their biller Lillian is so sweet, full of life and went over the billing process. Great team all together 😊

  • 5/5 Rusty L. 11 months ago on Google
    Very thorough, wonderful doctor. I learned a lot during my visit and had a few "a-ha" moments as well. So glad I found this wonderful doctor!

  • 5/5 Diana M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 LABry 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Zeigner is wonderful! She is very thorough and takes the time to really understand each patient and their specific needs. She does not rush you out the door like many doctors seem to do.

  • 5/5 Julie Moe R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Drs and staff are extremely thorough timely and friendly. I felt that they not only listened to my issues, but gave a stepped approach in addressing it making sure that the best solution was found. I would highly recommend Riviera Allergy!

  • 5/5 Katja M. 4 years ago on Google
    Dr. Z is a brilliant woman who genuinely cares about her patients. She has been treating my allergies for a long time. I love that she looks at the big picture and tries to find the source of the problem rather than just prescribing things to mask it. She is very good at what she does and always takes the time to really investigate her patient’s symptoms. Every time I have gone to see her with a problem, she makes it better, she really is a great doctor. ??‍???

  • 5/5 Elaina J. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic! I’ve struggled with food and environmental allergies all my life and have seen many allergist who have given me what I’ve come to think as “standard care;” however after my visit, with Dr. Z I had a comprehensive treatment plan, with true asthmatic relief for the first time in YEARS!- Dr. Z and her staff provide, hands down the most caring, thorough and effective care I have received.

  • 5/5 Steve C. 3 years ago on Google
    This was my first visit to Dr. Ziegner and upon arrival I received a wonderful reception from an attentive and welcoming staff. In order to get to the root of my issues and concerns, Dr. Ziegner took sufficient time asking me in-depth questions about me and my health. There was no rush to get me out the door. She was thorough in every aspect of her examination and I felt like a long time patient. Dr. Ziegner came highly recommended and I am thankful I made the appointment to see her. I look forward to my next visit.

  • 5/5 Elaine P. 3 years ago on Google

    I feel that I am really good hands. Dr Ziegner is extremely knowledgable and has a vast amount of experience which brings me comfort. The staff is also top notch and professional. Gives me hope with my situation

  • 5/5 Christina Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Dr. Ziegner is the best of the best. I’ve been to countless allergists and doctors who throw steroids at the problem and call it a day. She will actually spend a considerable amount of time with you reviewing your symptoms and health history in order to formulate a treatment plan. Doctors simply don’t do that. She’s also astoundingly intelligent and caring. Additionally, her staff is incredibly kind, prompt, and thoughtful. I wish all doctors and offices were like this one.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 3 years ago on Google
    Very thorough and professional doctor and staff. When you have an appointment; you don’t have to wait.

    Dr Ziegler is our favorite Doctor for Over 16 years. She is very informative, very personal, and a joy to be around. She knows your name, your family and always ask how are they doing. She takes the time, plenty of time with each patient. She sits down with you and explain everything, so when you leave you know exactly what to do. Dr Ziegner is always punctual and her staff is very warm and friendly. I Highly recommend her. Allan Curley

    I have been a patient here for 3 years. Dr. Z is dedicated and genuinely cares for her patients. Her staff, particularly Paulina, are warm and welcoming and also really care for you as a person. The whole office works hard to be available for patients, staying late and coming in on Saturdays.

  • 5/5 Renee 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 masqueradetea 4 years ago on Google
    I’m an adult that came in terrified because I thought I had an allergic reaction to something. I had no idea what to expect but I’m so thankful I was referred to them. The entire team were for most caring folks I’ve ever dealt with! I had to do the full skin test (88 food and 51?53? environmental) over the course of two days and it was the fastest experience of my life. Dr. Ulrike Ziegner and her team are top notch!!! PS when she told me “your abdomen seems bloated” and I responded with “yeah, a McFlurry will do that to a lactose intolerant person”, she laughed

  • 5/5 Andrea C. 4 years ago on Google
