Family Allergy & Asthma

What Family Allergy & Asthma does

Family Allergy & Asthma is a privately held, multi-site specialty medical practice founded in 1979 by Drs. Stephen J. Pollard and James L. Sublett, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The practice specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of allergic and asthmatic conditions, delivering services through more than 100 office locations across nine U.S. states (Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee). Its clinical workforce comprises 89-plus board-certified allergists and 30 advanced practitioners, supported by a total employee base in the 251-500 range.

The company's core clinical offering spans allergy skin testing, immunotherapy (allergy shots, sublingual tablets, and drops), pulmonary function testing for asthma diagnosis, food challenges, stinging insect testing, and ancillary testing services such as exercise challenge, antibiotic testing, aspirin testing/desensitization, and local anesthetic testing. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes a free mobile application (iOS and Android) for shot check-ins, prescription refills, bill payment, and provider messaging, alongside an online patient portal. A Research Institute operates as a sub-brand conducting clinical trials for major pharmaceutical companies including Novartis, Amgen, Regeneron, Sanofi, and AstraZeneca. The practice has expanded geographically through three acquisitions: Arkansas Allergy and Asthma Clinic (2020), Allergy & Asthma Specialists of Philadelphia (2022), and Asthma & Allergy Associates of Florida (2022), each retained as an operating division under its original brand.

Family Allergy & Asthma generates revenue primarily through professional clinical services billed to insurance payers and patients, with the practice accepting nearly all major health insurance plans in its service areas. Go-to-market is hybrid: physician referrals from primary care providers drive specialty patient acquisition, supplemented by direct-to-consumer patient acquisition through online and phone scheduling, the patient portal and app, and a content marketing presence across social media, search, and earned media placements in national outlets. Leadership transitioned to Douglas Lotz as interim CEO from the founder base. No private equity sponsorship or public capital raise has been disclosed, and growth to date has been funded through operating cash flow and the multi-year acquisition program.

Others

• Sanofi / Regeneron (Dupixent): Biologic manufacturer whose Dupixent is a leading severe asthma and atopic dermatitis therapy frequently administered in specialty allergy clinics. Comparable only insofar as FAA's Research Institute partners with them on trials.
• American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI): Professional medical association whose clinical guidelines and patient education content are explicitly referenced by Family Allergy & Asthma. Relevant as an ecosystem/credibility partner rather than a competitor.

Direct peers

• Allergy Partners: The largest US private allergy, asthma, and immunology practice network, operating across more than 20 states with dozens of board-certified allergists. Most directly comparable in clinical service mix and multi-site specialty model.
• Aspire Allergy & Sinus: PE-backed, multi-state allergy and sinus specialty practice offering immunotherapy, drops, and sinus procedures. Closely comparable in service portfolio and growth-via-acquisition strategy.
• AllerVie Health: National allergy, asthma, and immunology platform formed through roll-up of regional practices. Closest analogue to FAA in both clinical scope and multi-state, acquisition-driven growth model.
• ENT and Allergy Associates (ENTA): Large New York tri-state area otolaryngology and allergy practice with 40+ office locations and 200+ physicians. Comparable as a multi-site allergy specialty group, though broader ENT scope.
• Premier Allergy & Asthma: Ohio-based multi-location allergy and asthma specialty practice offering skin testing, immunotherapy, and biologic treatments. Comparable in clinical model though at smaller scale.
• The Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center: Mid-South multi-provider allergy, asthma, and immunology practice with multiple Tennessee and Kentucky clinics. Directly competes with FAA in overlapping Mid-South geographies.
• Atlanta Allergy & Asthma: Large multi-location Georgia allergy and asthma practice serving the Atlanta metro with board-certified allergists. Comparable in specialty clinical services and regional multi-site delivery.

Broad incumbents

• US ENT Partners: PE-backed ENT and allergy practice management platform aggregating regional groups across the US. Overlaps with FAA in allergy service lines and physician-practice roll-up strategy.
