Direct peers

• Atlanta Allergy & Asthma: Large single-specialty allergy, asthma, and immunology practice in the Southeast with multiple board-certified allergists, in-clinic testing, and clinical research affiliations. Closely mirrors Allergy & Asthma Specialists' combination of clinical care, diagnostics, and research in a regional multi-site footprint.
• AllerVie Health: National allergy, asthma, and immunology practice platform formed by the roll-up of multiple regional independents. Operates a multi-site clinical model with in-clinic allergy testing, immunotherapy, and biologics — directly comparable to Allergy & Asthma Specialists' service mix but at significantly greater geographic scale.
• NY Allergy & Sinus Centers: Multi-location allergy, asthma, and sinus specialty practice in the New York metro offering skin testing, spirometry, immunotherapy, and biologics. Comparable specialty practice operating model, though in a different geography and at larger scale.
• Oak Brook Allergists: Multi-physician allergy and immunology practice in the Chicago suburbs offering skin testing, immunotherapy, asthma management, and food/drug allergy testing. Comparable independent specialty group model with similar diagnostic and treatment service lines.
• US Allergy Partners (Nectar-affiliated): Network of independent allergy and immunology practices across multiple U.S. metros offering skin testing, immunotherapy, asthma management, and biologics. Direct peer in business model (independent allergist group practice) and service offering, with broader geographic reach.

Regional players

• M Health Fairview: Twin Cities-based integrated health system (University of Minnesota-affiliated) with employed allergists/immunologists. Direct regional competitor for allergy, asthma, and immunology referrals in the same Minneapolis–St. Paul metro market that Allergy & Asthma Specialists serves.

Broad incumbents

• Cleveland Clinic: Large multi-specialty academic health system with a dedicated allergy/immunology department and respiratory institute. Competes indirectly via system-employed allergists, academic reputation, and integrated referral capture, though its scale and scope far exceed Allergy & Asthma Specialists.
• Mayo Clinic: Major academic health system with board-certified allergists/immunologists and pulmonologists providing comprehensive allergy, asthma, and headache care. Competes for the same specialty referrals and PCP-driven patients in the Upper Midwest, but operates as a broad multi-specialty system rather than an allergy-focused practice.

Emerging players

• Nectar Allergy: Digital-first allergy care platform offering at-home testing, clinician consultations, and ongoing immunotherapy management. Partial overlap with Allergy & Asthma Specialists' allergy testing and immunotherapy offering but delivered via a remote/telehealth model rather than in-clinic visits.

Others

• Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA): National nonprofit patient advocacy and education organization for asthma and allergic diseases. Not a competitor, but adjacent ecosystem player that Allergy & Asthma Specialists links to in its patient education materials and that shapes the broader patient awareness environment.
