Welcome to Allergy, Asthma, Immunology of Rochester, P.C.

Leaders in Allergy and Asthma care for adults and children since 1985.

AAIR is Rochester’s last independent allergy practice. Our board-certified allergists and PAs treat asthma, nasal and eye allergies, sinusitis, hives and skin allergies, food and insect allergy, and mast cell disorders (MCAS). Care is personalized and custom tailored to you. The goal is long-term relief with far less daily medication — not more prescriptions.
We offer the most comprehensive allergy and asthma testing in Rochester, allergy shots / desensitization, biologics, and an infusion center, usually at a lower cost than hospital-based systems.  We have no ties or influence from Big Pharma.  Our daily pollen counts are featured on every Rochester TV station.

New appointments are typically available in under two weeks.
Offices are in Brighton/Henrietta, Perinton, and Canandaigua.
