Dr Mark D. Livezey
Allergist, Immunologist
Dr. Livezey moved to Atlanta in 1988 from Michigan to join Allergy & Asthma Consultants, finding a life-long career. He thoroughly enjoys the wide range of patients seen in allergy practice from infants to the elderly. His wife, Rebecca, is a research psychologist at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). They have three sometimes-charming, occasionally-challenging children, who have left them empty-nested but not quite off the payroll as yet (are they ever?). Two wonderful grandchildren have started the next generation in fine fashion. For Dr. Livezey, music, golf, and travel are frequent diversions – none of them mastered, but very much enjoyed.
