What to know about Black Allergy & Immunology care
Black children are 4 times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma and 10 times more likely to die from it than white children (CDC, 2022). Food allergy prevalence is also higher in Black children, yet Black patients are less likely to receive epinephrine at the point of reaction. Allergists-immunologists diagnose and treat severe asthma, food allergies, drug allergies, chronic hives, eczema, and primary immune deficiencies.
Conditions we cover
- Severe asthma and biologic therapy (Dupixent, Xolair, Nucala, Tezspire)
- Food allergy with oral immunotherapy options
- Drug allergy evaluation and desensitization
- Environmental allergies and immunotherapy (shots or tablets)
- Chronic urticaria and angioedema
- Primary immune deficiency
When to book
- Needing rescue inhaler more than twice a week
- Anaphylaxis history or multiple food reactions
- Chronic hives lasting over 6 weeks
- Recurrent sinusitis, pneumonia, or abscesses

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a Black Allergist in the US?
Use the search and filter tools on this page to browse verified Black Allergists in the US. You can filter by telehealth, insurance accepted, and whether the Allergist is accepting new patients. If the list is short, consider virtual options as many Black Allergists serve patients statewide or nationwide.
Are there virtual or telehealth Black Allergists serving the US?
Yes. Many Black Allergists offer telehealth appointments in addition to or instead of in-person visits. Use the telehealth filter on this page to see providers who offer virtual care, which can expand your options significantly if local availability is limited.
Why does seeing a Black Allergist matter?
Research consistently shows that racial concordance between patients and their care team is associated with better communication, greater trust, and improved health outcomes. Patients who share a racial or cultural background with their Allergist often report feeling more understood and are more likely to follow through on care plans.
What should I ask a Allergist before working with them?
Ask whether they are accepting new patients, what insurance they accept, and whether they offer telehealth or in-person visits. It is also worth asking about their experience with conditions relevant to you, their communication style, and how they handle after-hours questions or urgent concerns.
Do Black Allergists in the US accept insurance or Medicaid?
Many Black Allergists listed in this directory accept major insurance plans and some accept Medicaid or Medicare. Use the insurance and Medicaid filters on this page to narrow your search. Contact the provider directly to confirm your specific plan is accepted before scheduling.
Is a Black provider the same as an African American provider on this directory?
Yes. Black Health uses Black and African American interchangeably to describe the same population of providers and patients, matching how people commonly search and self-identify. Both terms point to the same verified providers on this page.
