Tennessee Asthma by the Numbers
- Tennessee ranks among the top 10 states for asthma prevalence in adults
- TennCare (Medicaid) eligibility is among the most restrictive in the nation — most working adults don’t qualify
- Tennessee Valley ozone and particle pollution regularly exceed EPA health standards
- Rural East and West Tennessee residents often travel 45–90 minutes to reach a pulmonologist
- ER visits for asthma cost $2,000–$4,000 — an $80 visit prevents most of them
Your Tennessee Asthma Physician
Timothy Ryschon, MD — Board-Certified Physician | 31 Years of Experience | Tennessee Medical License: Active
Dr. Ryschon founded Asthmaniac to solve a problem he saw every day: patients going without asthma treatment because they couldn’t afford insurance or access a specialist. He delivers the same evidence-based care as any pulmonology clinic — by phone, at a price that works for real Tennessee families.
“Every Tennessean with asthma deserves access to a real doctor. That’s why I built this.” — Timothy Ryschon, MD
