two years to go. In the brief time during 1998 and 1999
that the Glass family lived in St. Louis, the St. Louis Rams
won the Super Bowl, Mark McGwire hit his 70 home run
season, and the St. Louis Blues won the Presidents’ Trophy
(Division champs). Also the Pope happened to stop by. “We
got to see a lot,” he laughed. “It was a great sports town and
a great time to be in St. Louis.”
The couple, however, couldn’t resist coming back to
Louisville to be with family and friends and returned in
2000, when Dr. Glass began his work at Allergy Care where
he still practices today alongside longtime friends, Drs.
Mark Corbett, Dwight Lindsay and Jennifer Gentner.
Dr. Glass and Mindy have three children. Molly, their
oldest, will be attending Sacred Heart this fall. Mallory,
their second, was recently invited along with her family to
visit Barcelona, Spain, to train with the Barcelona Soccer
Academy (quite an honor). Their youngest son, Ryan, also
loves soccer.
“The trip to Barcelona was fantastic, very cultural and we
got to see a lot of soccer. It was really a great experience,”
Dr. Glass said.
of Louisville School of Medicine with a focus on pediatrics in
1995, and the two were married in Louisville the following year.
After graduation, Dr. Glass took up a pediatrics residency at
the University of Louisville and met Dr. Mark Corbett (now his
partner at Allergy Care) and Dr. Jim Sublett. Both men encouraged
the aspiring physician to pursue his interests in allergy and
immunology. “During my pediatrics training program, a lot of
what we saw had to do with asthma and allergic disease. So it was
an easy transition to make,” he said.
The only hurdle was that the interest might have come too late.
“I was getting ready to start my last semester of residency and
had expressed interest. With a lot of fellowships, there is a belief
that you need to apply in your first two years of residency. I didn’t
do so. Dr. Corbett said, ‘Weren’t you interested in this?’ I said,
‘Yes, but it’s too late.’ He and the other doctors said that it’s never
too late and they helped me find the spaces available to pursue a
fellowship at St. Louis University. I was offered a position, agreed,
and it was a fantastic decision.”
Dr. Glass and his wife were soon on their way to St. Louis for

After more than 15 years of practice, Dr. Glass has also
been active in the Kentucky allergy community, where he’s
served as president of the Kentucky Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology Society as well as President of the Greater
Louisville Allergy Society. “Those positions are important
because it’s always nice to give back your time, and I think our
continued education makes us better doctors,” he said.
It took a village of family and friends to make Dr. Glass the
physician he is today. Now, as he reaches out to his peers in the
fields of allergy and immunology, other villagers will benefit.
