Dr. John Dishuck

Dr. John Dishuck grew up in Tuscaloosa. He entered Birmingham Southern College at the age of 16, intending to follow his parents into law. However, his interest in the sciences led him to biology. He completed his undergraduate degree in biology in three and a half years and was immediately accepted into medical school. Desiring a career serving others, Dr. Dishuck entered medical school at the University of South Alabama and completed training in Pediatrics at the same institution, where he was honored to serve as chief resident.

While in training, he was concerned by the number of children requiring repeated hospitalizations for asthma and prompted him to seek further training in Allergies, Asthma, and Immunology. He completed his Fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, one of the most renowned centers in the world for the study and treatment of this specialty. Dr. Dishuck loved being involved in research during his residency and fellowship. He and his wife, Laura, decided to return to his hometown to raise their children close to their families. Laura teaches at RISE Center. They have 4 adult children, 2 dogs, and their first grandchild arrived in the spring of 2022.

He has practiced in Tuscaloosa for 30 years with special emphasis in the treatment of asthma, sinus disease, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and chronic hives. Year after year, he has been honored to have been chosen by other doctors as a Top Doctor as the doctor they choose to care for their families. Dr. Dishuck is an avid cyclist, sailor, and cook. Over the past 30 years, he has enjoyed countless weeks providing free care in poor communities in Brazil, Honduras, and Peru.

His primary goal is to improve the quality of life of others while providing the best possible care in a cost-effective manner. He believes a thorough history and good communication with the patient is the most important, and often overlooked, component of good health care. "A good day is a day when you can help someone else."
