About Arkansas Allergy & Asthma Clinic

Arkansas Allergy & Asthma Clinic is a division of Family Allergy & Asthma. Our Asthma clinic dates back to 1930, when our founder, Dr. Alan G. Cazort, first set up shop in Little Rock, Arkansas. Known to many as the “father of allergy in Arkansas,” Dr. Cazort introduced many cutting-edge treatments for seasonal allergies and chronic conditions to the community. At Arkansas Allergy & Asthma Clinic, we offer comprehensive and specialized care to pediatric and adult patients.

Our experienced, board‑certified allergists offer complete environmental, food, and stinging insect allergy testing as well as specialized diagnostic and medical therapies for asthma, eczema, and a variety of other allergic conditions. We recognize that patients come to us because of the limitations placed on them due to their allergic or asthmatic conditions. Beginning with your first appointment, our doctors can identify your specific allergic triggers and provide you with a customized plan to best treat your allergies and asthma.
