When your immune system misfires, it doesn’t tap you on the shoulder and ask for permission. It shows up in your skin, your breathing, your energy, your daily life. In Phoenix, that often means dry-air irritation, seasonal flare-ups from desert bloom, or a persistent cough that never seems to leave. For some, it’s asthma that tightens the chest on warm nights. For others, it’s food allergies that turn simple meals into complicated decisions.
At Modena Allergy + Asthma Scottsdale, we work at the intersection of clinical science and everyday life. Our team specializes in treating allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions using an approach that’s both deeply informed and genuinely personal. We take time to understand how your immune system responds so we can build a plan that supports real, lasting change.
With board-certified expertise in allergy & immunology, our doctors evaluate how your body interacts with allergens, pathogens, and protein antigens at the molecular level. But we don’t stop at lab results. We connect the cellular components with how you actually feel on a morning hike in Arcadia, in your kid’s classroom, or walking out of your home into a cloud of desert pollen.
This care is designed for your biology and lifestyle. Rooted in science and focused on your quality of life.
Phoenix may be beautiful, but between the dry desert winds, blooming cacti, and year-round airborne irritants, the immune system’s on constant alert. If your body is overreacting—through hives, wheezing, sinus inflammation, or eczema—it’s not just “sensitive.” It’s signaling that something deeper is off in your immune responses.
At Modena Allergy + Asthma Scottsdale, we don’t chase symptoms. We identify the cellular components behind them. Whether it’s overactive T cells, elevated immunoglobulin production, or dendritic cells misfiring against harmless protein antigens. Then we create a treatment plan that brings your system back to balance.
Our services include:
The immune system is personal. Your care should be too. At Modena Allergy + Asthma Scottsdale, we don’t rush visits or rely on cookie-cutter protocols– we develop personalized treatment plans that take your individual symptoms and needs into account.

Maddie Starr, FNP, provides expert support across pediatric and adult allergy and asthma care, with a special passion for working with young patients and their families. Her background in family medicine allows her to see the bigger picture—how allergies impact daily life, and what patients need to manage symptoms with greater ease. Maddie’s warm, attentive approach ensures that every patient feels seen, heard, and supported.
Food shouldn’t feel like a threat. For families managing severe food allergies (especially in a city like Phoenix, where dining out and staying active are part of everyday life), regaining control over your body’s immune response can be life-changing.
Our oral immunotherapy (OIT) program helps patients gradually build tolerance to specific food allergens using science-backed desensitization. Each protocol is tailored to the individual’s immune system, accounting for factors like IgE levels, asthma, and related conditions such as Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).
Treatment is carefully monitored, with close oversight from our allergy and immunology team. As your immune system learns to respond differently to the allergen, symptoms may decrease—and your confidence around food can return. The process takes time, but for the right patient, it opens up a new kind of freedom.
Living with allergies is frustrating enough. Your care environment shouldn’t add to the stress. Our Phoenix office was designed for comfort and calm from the moment you walk in.
Expect a modern, welcoming space with quiet exam rooms, thoughtful amenities, and options that support real families: allergy-friendly snacks, clean play areas for kids, and flexible scheduling for follow-ups and allergy shots. Whether you’re coming from Paradise Valley or the East Valley, we make it easy to prioritize your health without disrupting your routine.
We don’t treat patients in a rush. We take time to understand what’s really going on, how your immune system is reacting, what cellular processes are involved, and how we can modulate that response through smart, customized care.
Education is a core part of what we do. Our social media platforms feature short videos on allergy testing, food challenges, and asthma care, all explained clearly by our providers.
From behind-the-scenes looks at our oral immunotherapy protocols to real patient experiences with food desensitization and asthma management, you’ll find practical insights that demystify the immune system and help you feel more informed, more empowered, and less overwhelmed.
Allergies aren’t just seasonal. If you’re experiencing ongoing sinus infections, rashes, unexplained fatigue, or digestive flare-ups after eating certain foods, your immune system may be out of balance.
At Modena Allergy + Asthma Scottsdale, we help patients navigate:
Instead of relying on mail-in food sensitivity kits or trial-and-error diets, we offer clinically accurate testing and personalized interpretations of your immune activity. We’ll walk you through what’s actually happening at the molecular level and how to respond with targeted care.
