AAIR

What AAIR does

AAIR (Allergy Asthma Immunology of Rochester, P.C.) is a private, physician-owned medical specialty practice founded in 1985 and headquartered at 3136 Winton Rd. S. in Rochester, New York. The practice diagnoses and treats adults and children with asthma, all forms of allergies, sinusitis, urticaria, eczema, food allergies, and Mast Cell Activation disorders, delivering care through board-certified allergists, a physician assistant, and a family nurse practitioner. Service offerings include traditional subcutaneous immunotherapy (allergy shots), FDA-approved sublingual immunotherapy tablets (Odactra, Oralair, Grastek, Ragwitek), an in-house infusion center for biologic medications such as Xolair, expedited penicillin allergy testing, and telehealth visits via doxy.me. Patient engagement is supported through a HIPAA-compliant IMS Care Patient Portal provided by MedPharm Services.

The practice operates three physical locations across the Greater Rochester, Finger Lakes, and Upstate NY region (Brighton, Canandaigua, and Perinton) after consolidating from a historical footprint of five offices by closing Greece in May 2020 and Geneseo in January 2021. AAIR also operates the only local pollen counting station in the region, distributing free daily pollen counts to local TV stations, newspapers, national weather outlets, and the medical community, a community-facing asset that doubles as brand and patient-acquisition infrastructure. The practice is the last independent allergy provider in Rochester with no pharmaceutical-company sponsorship, positioning it as a trusted referral destination in a market ranked 2nd worst for asthma and 5th worst for allergies in the United States by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

Revenue is generated through professional services billed to insurance carriers and patients, including evaluation and management visits, allergy testing, immunotherapy administration, biologic infusion, and procedural services. The practice has no external funding, no parent company, no disclosed partnerships, and no public financials. It transitioned away from rheumatology services around 2020 and closed its affiliated AAIR Research Center in April 2019 after 33 years, refocusing operations on clinical allergy, asthma, and immunology care for the Rochester community.
