Annapolis Allergy & Asthma

What Annapolis Allergy & Asthma does

Annapolis Allergy & Asthma is a private, physician-led medical practice specializing in allergy and asthma care, founded in 2001 and operating from two locations in Maryland: the main office at 129 Lubrano Drive, Suite 200, Annapolis, and a satellite at 227 N. Liberty Street, Centreville, serving the Eastern Shore. The practice is led by Dr. Duane Gels, a board-certified allergist with over 20 years of experience trained at Notre Dame, Northwestern, Brown, George Washington, and Children's National Medical Center, who also teaches part-time at the Johns Hopkins Allergy and Asthma Center. He is supported by Uwe Reichman (board-certified PA, 20+ years), an allergy technician, and a certified medical assistant, all of long tenure.

The practice delivers a comprehensive suite of allergy and respiratory services, anchored by diagnostic testing (skin, blood, patch, exercise, food, and medication challenges), allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) delivered on a recurring appointment basis, and pulmonary function testing (spirometry) for asthma and lower-airway conditions. Adjacent services address nasal allergies, sinusitis, ear, skin, eye, throat, and gastrointestinal allergic conditions, plus immunodeficiency evaluation. Patient acquisition relies on physician referrals, word-of-mouth, a content-driven website, and digital advertising via ReachLocal, with scheduling handled through the healow platform and patient forms via JotForm.

The business model is fee-for-service medical revenue billed to a broad panel of insurance carriers (Aetna, BCBS, Carefirst, Cigna, Coventry, Johns Hopkins Health Plans, Kaiser, Medicare, United Healthcare, and others), with self-pay patients accepted at time of service. The practice does not participate with Maryland Medical Assistance. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the practice operates as a privately held entity with no external investors or parent company indicated.
