FACAAI, FAAAAI, FAAP

Raised in Newport Beach, Dr. Malika Gupta is a dual board-certified allergist/immunologist and pediatrician with a deep-rooted passion for molecular immunology. She trained under renowned experts in the field and co-authored several peer-reviewed publications and book chapters with her father, Dr. Sudhir Gupta, one of the original pioneers of immunology—you could say he wrote the book.

Dr. Gupta was brought up in Newport Beach, where she established a large client base with a group before founding the allergy and immunology program at HOAG Hospital. She also serves as an associate faculty member at UCI, dedicating her time to teaching in the immunology clinic.

Today, Dr. Gupta runs her own direct-to-patient practice in Corona Del Mar, where her love for immunology and belief in the interconnectedness of the body’s systems drive her personalized approach to care. She specializes in the immunology of aging, reproductive immunology, skin allergies, immunodeficiency, and food allergies, with a focus on serving patients who are also her neighbors.
