Dr. Maziar Rezvani grew up in Louisville, Kentucky where he obtained a bachelor of arts in biology with honors from the University of Louisville. He went on to attend Ross University School of Medicine where he received his medical degree. Dr. Rezvani performed his internship and internal medicine residency at The Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati. He has served as a relevance reviewer for the American Board of Internal Medicine. His initial interest in the field of allergy began during residency after a presentation at a national academy meeting. At the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Dr. Rezvani had his fellowship structured to blend both clinical and research responsibilities under the guidance of Doctors Jonathan, David and Leonard Bernstein. He orchestrated multiple on-going clinical trials during his fellowship evaluating emerging therapies for hereditary angioedema. His other research projects involved asthma and exposure to cleaning agents in the home and occupational mold exposure and neurotoxicity. Additionally, Dr. Rezvani has a number of publications and presentations in topics ranging from allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, olfaction and rhinitis subtypes, hereditary angioedema, anaphylaxis during immunotherapy, and environmental interventions at a pediatric daycare and its effects on asthma and rhinitis symptoms. During his clinical training, Dr. Rezvani spent one year at Cincinnati Children’s Immunodeficiency and Allergy clinics. He is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Allergy/Immunology.
