Editor-curated picks of the top board-certified allergists in 67 cities and all 50 states.

Tracking pollen counts only gets you so far. When antihistamines stop cutting it, a board-certified allergist-immunologist can test exactly what you're allergic to and treat the cause, including immunotherapy that lowers your sensitivity over three to five years. We researched allergy and asthma specialists across the country and picked the standouts in every state.

When Should You See an Allergist?

Plenty of people manage seasonal allergies with over-the-counter medication and a good pollen forecast. But it's time to see a specialist if any of these sound familiar:

  • Antihistamines and nasal sprays no longer control your symptoms
  • Your allergies last for months at a time or year-round
  • You have asthma that flares during allergy season
  • You've had a severe reaction to food, medication, or insect stings
  • You get frequent sinus infections, ear infections, or chronic congestion
  • You want allergy testing or long-term treatment like allergy shots (immunotherapy)

Allergists complete a residency in internal medicine or pediatrics, then a 2-3 year fellowship in allergy and immunology. That makes them the best-trained physicians to find what's actually triggering your symptoms and treat the cause.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an allergist do?

An allergist-immunologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats allergies, asthma, and immune system disorders. After medical school, they complete a residency in internal medicine or pediatrics, then a 2-3 year fellowship in allergy and immunology. They perform allergy testing, prescribe medications, and administer immunotherapy (allergy shots or tablets).

Do I need a referral to see an allergist?

It depends on your insurance. Most PPO plans allow you to book directly with an allergist, while HMO plans typically require a referral from your primary care physician. Call the practice or your insurer before booking to confirm.

When should I see an allergist instead of my regular doctor?

See an allergist if over-the-counter antihistamines no longer control your symptoms, your allergies run for months at a time, or you have asthma alongside them. Go sooner if you've had a severe reaction to food, medication, or insect stings. An allergist is also the right call when you want testing and long-term treatment like immunotherapy.

Prepare for Your Visit

Allergists can treat you more effectively when you arrive with data. Before your appointment, track when your symptoms flare and check what was in the air those days. Two or three weeks of notes is enough:
