Average annual compensation for US allergy and immunology physicians reached $335,978 in Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report, providing an updated national benchmark for specialists working in allergy and immunology.

US allergists and immunologists recorded average annual compensation of $335,978, according to Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report. The latest figure provides specialists with a specialty-specific benchmark when evaluating compensation, employment opportunities and the financial expectations associated with their practice.

Key findings

Doximity reports average annual compensation of $335,978 for Allergy & Immunology physicians in its 2026 Physician Compensation Report.

For allergists and immunologists, the figure provides a useful national reference point within a specialty focused on the diagnosis and management of allergic, immunologic and related inflammatory conditions.

The national average should not be interpreted as the compensation every allergist and immunologist will receive. Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, patient volume, disease mix, clinical services, practice setting and employment structure.

Allergist and immunologist compensation reaches $335,978

The $335,978 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US allergists and immunologists.

Allergy and immunology encompasses the diagnosis and management of conditions including asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergy, drug allergy, eczema, urticaria and disorders affecting immune function.

Clinical practice frequently combines diagnostic assessment with longitudinal management of chronic conditions. Depending on the practice, physicians may also provide allergy testing, immunotherapy and other specialist diagnostic or therapeutic services.

The balance of allergic disease and immunological conditions can differ substantially between practices, influencing patient complexity and clinical workload.

For allergists and immunologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed.

What influences allergist and immunologist compensation?

Allergy and immunology is predominantly an outpatient specialty, meaning patient volume, disease complexity, diagnostic services and treatment mix can all be important when evaluating individual compensation.

A physician managing a high volume of common allergic conditions may have a different practice profile from one caring for patients with complex immunodeficiency or other challenging immune-mediated disorders.

Diagnostic testing and therapeutic services can also influence the structure of an individual practice, particularly where allergy testing and immunotherapy form a significant part of clinical activity.

Geography, experience and employment model may further influence compensation. Allergists and immunologists can work within specialist groups, health systems, academic medical centres and independent practices, with different organisations using different salary, productivity and incentive arrangements.

These factors mean the $335,978 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every allergist and immunologist.

What the latest figure means for allergists and immunologists

For US allergy and immunology physicians, $335,978 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking existing compensation or assessing a prospective position.

Physicians should consider headline compensation alongside expected patient volumes, disease complexity, diagnostic workload, immunotherapy responsibilities, working hours and productivity requirements.

Practice composition is particularly important. Two allergy and immunology positions can involve substantially different workloads depending on patient demographics, disease mix and the range of diagnostic and therapeutic services offered.

The latest Doximity figure therefore provides allergists and immunologists with a useful starting point for evaluating compensation while recognising that individual earnings can differ substantially according to the clinical and contractual characteristics of a particular role.

About the data

The Doximity 2026 Physician Compensation Report provides compensation benchmarks across a wide range of US medical and surgical specialties.

The specialty figures represent average compensation and should be treated as national benchmarks. An individual allergist and immunologist’s compensation may differ according to geography, experience, patient volume, disease complexity, clinical services, practice setting and other professional factors.
