About Us

North Texas Allergy & Asthma Associates was founded by Dr Harvey Black in 1927. Dr Black spent many years studying the causes of allergies and over time developed a test for allergy. He was a President of the American Society of Clinical Pathology, and 1945 coauthored the textbook "Practice of Allergy" and was truly a pioneer in his time.

In 1950 James Holman, M.D. joined the practice and took over after the death of Dr. Black. While building his allergy practice, Dr. Holman served as an associate professor of pharmacology at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas and served as head of the Parkland Allergy Clinic from 1951 to 1980. Dr. Holman was eminently qualified for this role, for he had studied at Southwestern under Dr. Tinsley Harrison and at the University of Virginia. Dr. Holman has written many articles and papers on allergy and immunology, and was instrumental in the development of various novel therapeutic treatment options during that time.

Dr. Holman grew North Texas Allergy & Asthma Associates (at that time - under the name Holman Allergy Clinic) into one of the foremost allergy practices in the Southwest, with patients referred from all over the region. Currently, North Texas Allergy & Asthma Associates is one of the oldest practicing allergy practices today. Dr Black opened his practice in 1927 at the Medical Arts building, located in downtown Dallas near Baylor Medical College. In 1974, Dr. Holman moved the clinic to one of its current location at Texas Health Resources Dallas. Dr. Holman is proud and honored to say that he still has patients that have been with him for over fifty years and that he was one of the first physician practices to open their doors at Texas Health Resources Dallas.

In July 2004, Dr. Sandeep Gupta joined his practice after completing his medical training in Los Angeles. Dr. Gupta completed his Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology training at the UCLA/Veterans Administration Health Care System. Before that he served as a Clinical Faculty member at UCLA and was on staff in the Department of Internal Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He completed his residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and is a graduate of the University of Southern California - Keck School of Medicine. Throughout his education and training he has been awarded with many honors and distinctions.  Dr. Gupta is married with 4 kids and enjoys spending his free time traveling and working around the yard.   His areas of interest include rhinosinusits, asthma and angioedema.

Dr. Nastaran Safdarian joined North Texas Allergy and Asthma Associates in 2011. She obtained her undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of North Texas and completed medical school at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. After medical school, she trained in Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for three years with an emphasis on Women's Health. Dr. Safdarian completed her fellowship in allergies, asthma, and immunology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Safdarian is a proud Texan (having grown up in Denton), and she is glad to be back home!

Robert Dudley, RN, MS, FNP-C served in the U.S. Army from 1991 to 1997, and completed his undergraduate nursing degree at UT Tyler in 2000. He has over 10 years of nursing experience here in Dallas, with strengths in Pediatrics and ER care. He completed the Family Nurse Practitioner program and received his Master's degree of Science at TWU. Robert is certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners as a Family Nurse Practitioner. He enjoys spending time with his wife and baby.

Our providers continue to carry forward the pioneering tradition of Drs. Holman and Black, meshing together new age technology and training with the proven techniques of the past. Recently, the center has gone through substantial renovation, expansion, and modernization.  Currently we are proud providers of health care at two premier locations in North Texas: Texas Health Resources Dallas Hospital and Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano.
