Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Associates of Tampa Bay

What Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Associates of Tampa Bay does

Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Associates of Tampa Bay is a privately held, board-certified specialty medical practice (operating as the Florida Professional Association "Lockey, Fox, Ledford & Glaum MDs PA," DBA "Allergy Tampa") founded in 1973 by Dr. Richard F. Lockey. The practice is staffed by four board-certified allergist/immunologists — Lockey, Mark C. Glaum, Seong H. Cho, and Emily A. Dzoba — supported by a multi-disciplinary clinical and administrative team that includes a practice manager, nurses, two nationally certified asthma educators, and a recently hired physician assistant. It serves pediatric and adult patients in the Tampa Bay area from two directly operated clinics: the main Bruce B. Downs Blvd. office in Tampa (housing physician offices plus dedicated testing and injection suites) and a satellite clinic on W. Platt St. in South Tampa offering by-appointment injections.

The clinical offering is organized around seven named condition services — Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever), Chronic Sinusitis, Chronic Cough, Venom Hypersensitivity, Food and Drug Allergies, and Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) — supported by underlying in-office diagnostic and treatment modules. Diagnostic work uses percutaneous prick/scratch and intradermal skin testing (with results in 10-20 minutes) plus serum IgE blood testing for pollens, molds, dust mites, animals, foods, medications, latex, and stinging insect venoms. Treatment is built on three immunotherapy modalities: traditional custom-compounded allergen vaccines ("allergy shots") on a weekly build-up tapered to monthly maintenance, sublingual immunotherapy tablets, and Oral Immunotherapy for food allergy desensitization. A digital patient-experience layer wraps the clinical core via the healow patient portal, HushForms digital intake, BalanceCollect online bill pay, an online appointment request form, and an iHealthSpot-sourced HONcode-compliant patient education library. The physicians also maintain an academic and research affiliation with the University of South Florida and operate a Research Program accepting study inquiries from patients.

The practice generates revenue through fee-for-service professional services, in-office allergy testing procedures, and a recurring-revenue allergen immunotherapy program (multi-month injection schedules), billed to a broad accepted insurance network (AARP, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, United Healthcare, and others) plus self-pay collected via the BalanceCollect portal. Distribution is direct to consumers across two Tampa-area clinics plus an HMO/managed-care physician referral channel, with a $50 late-cancellation fee and no publicly disclosed price list. Marketing is anchored by an SEO-driven blog, AAAAI-sourced pollen-count widget, and earned media via Castle Connolly and Tampa Magazine Top Doctors recognitions, supported by community and academic association participation.

Core offering

Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Associates of Tampa Bay is a specialty medical practice providing diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of allergic, asthmatic, and immunologic conditions for pediatric and adult patients. The clinical offering centers on board-certified allergy/immunology physician consultations, in-office skin and blood allergy testing, allergen-specific immunotherapy (allergy shots), sublingual immunotherapy tablets, and an oral immunotherapy (OIT) program for food allergies. Services are delivered at two Tampa-area clinic locations and supported by an integrated digital experience including a patient portal, online bill pay, and digital intake forms.

Product overview

Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Associates of Tampa Bay operates as a single medical practice (founded 1973 by Dr. Richard F. Lockey) rather than a multi-product software platform; its offering is a unified allergy/immunology clinical service delivered across two Tampa-area locations by four board-certified physicians (Lockey, Glaum, Cho, Dzoba). The clinical core is organized around a set of named condition-specific services — Asthma Care, Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever), Chronic Sinusitis, Chronic Cough, Venom Hypersensitivity, Food & Drug Allergies, and Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) — supported by underlying Allergy Skin/Blood Testing and Allergen Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots) modules that feed each condition program. Wrapping the clinical core is a digital patient-experience layer consisting of the healow Patient Portal, Balance Collect Online Bill Pay, Hush Forms New Patient Paperwork, the Online Appointment Request form, and an iHealthSpot Patient Education Library, with an additional Research Program affiliated with the University of South Florida.
