Dr. Rishi’s interest in allergy and immunology began as a teenager. He experienced a severe asthma exacerbation while playing football for his high school team in Oklahoma. He struggled with allergies, asthma and eczema throughout his life, which inspired him to pursue a career as an allergist. As a lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast, his approach to asthma involves optimizing an athlete’s performance on the field. 

Finally, Dr. Rishi’s other primary focus involves treating urticaria (hives).  During his residency, he presented an oral vignette on omalizumab’s treatment of autoimmune urticaria at the American College of Physicians (ACP) conference.
