Ascend Pediatric Asthma and Allergies is a pediatric pulmonary, asthma, and allergy practice in Asheville, North Carolina, led by founder and pediatric pulmonologist Dr. Zeni Scott, MD. The practice cares for children with breathing and allergy concerns, offering in-person appointments in Asheville and telehealth across Western North Carolina. Its approach emphasizes listening to families, explaining options clearly, and making care decisions together.

Services include evaluation and management of asthma and wheezing, seasonal and environmental allergies, chronic cough, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and sleep apnea. The practice also addresses exercise-induced asthma, lung conditions related to prematurity, airway concerns, and other cough or breathing issues. Available testing and treatments include spirometry, allergy skin testing, and allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots); biologics are also listed among its offerings. Ascend is accepting new patients and invites families to request appointments. Dr. Scott completed fellowship training at Duke University, residency at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and medical school at Texas Tech’s Paul L. Foster School of Medicine.
