Amber N. Pepper, MD
Board-Certified Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Specialist
“The experience of growing up as the daughter of a family physician in a small town shaped me into the physician I am today. I chose a career in medicine to make a difference in my patients’ lives much the same as my father has done for decades.”
“I selected Allergy and Immunology because I had wonderful mentors and am fascinated by the subject matter. The immune system is an intricate puzzle with new research and discoveries happening constantly.”
“I also enjoy serving both adult and pediatric patients, a quality unique to the specialty of Allergy and Immunology.”
“Through the research I conducted during medical school, residency and fellowship, I developed a passion for evidence-based learning and innovation. I continue to remain involved in research and academics through working as the Associate Director of the University of South Florida Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology Clinical Research Unit and as an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine.”
"I take pride in being an informed advocate for my patients while providing comprehensive and compassionate medical care.”
