I have been a patient of Dr. Joseph E. Allen, II for years now. I can truthfully say I feel so much better now than when under the care of any other doctor prior to Dr. Allen. Better both mentally and physically; and, also, more secure in my health and in my doctor. More to the point, in 2020, I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, unfortunately. The way I understand it, one of the main… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My MDVIP affiliation opens up doors to the places that I have always wanted to go in the evaluation and treatment of my patients. I am now able to perform a truly comprehensive assessment and devise a detailed health and wellness plan for each person. This type of practice allows more time to treat my patients the way I feel they deserve to be treated. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. This is the way primary care internal medicine was always supposed to work. Now, it actually does work that way!

Dr Joseph Allen is a very caring doctor. After 2 hospitalizations he called me everyday to check on me. That made me feel so well cared for. I love the time he is able to devote to patient care with the mdvip program .

The explanations of what this service entails was exciting to me. What I have found in this new model of medical care has been a thorough and positive way to obtain my healthcare. My healthcare situation is complex. Dr. Allen always answers my… See more
I was in a hospital with which Dr. Joseph Allen was not affiliated and did not expect him to visit. Following a day of several tests and no answers, I was becoming irritated that I was still in the hospital. Dr. Allen came to visit me later that same afternoon. His visit was totally unexpected but a boost to my moral. He took the time out of his day to come spend a few minutes with me and… See more
