Dr. Alyssa M. Degnan

I moved to Aiken in 2008. After getting settled, one of my first things was to find a new doctor. I had a doctor who was very good in my previous location so I knew I wanted one equally as good. Talked to several people and the name Alyssa Degnan was mentioned by more than one person. But, they added they didn’t think she was taking new patients. I decided I would call her office anyway and perhaps I could get in. When I called they told me I could become one of her patients but, that it would be into the new year (2009) before she could see me. That was fine and I made an appointment. She was not in a MDVIP practice then. When I went to my first appointment, the office was quite full and I dreaded the wait but of course waited. I was so glad I did. She was very nice and welcoming and did not rush me at all. She talked with and listened to me. I just thought she was very professional and just the type doctor I was looking for. Over the years she has doctored me through cold, flu, and other minor illnesses. By nature I am mostly a healthy person and I thank God everyday for my health! She left her private practice environment and joined MDVIP. When I heard this I was unsure about having to pay a doctor extra money to see me but liked the idea of a smaller number of patients in her practice. Long story short, I did join her MDVIP practice and it has been a wonderful experience. She has assembled a great staff and everyone of them are friendly, welcoming and very capable. Dr. Degnan is a wonderful, caring and such a professional doctor. I have had some difficult times with my husband who is now deceased. He was diagnosed with memory loss later called Lewy Body Dementia. Those were some hard years and Dr. Degnan was so kind as to listen to my problems that I was having taking care of him and offering advise to me on how to cope with all that was going on. She was not only my doctor but she became my friend! I could talk to her about anything and she would always patiently listen and offer her best advise for dealing with whatever. All of the above are reasons I would say she is one of the top doctors in Aiken County or really anywhere! Dr Degnan is my doctor and I love her for being that!! But, she is so much more than just my doctor!!

I can only sing praises for Dr. Alyssa Degnan. She was my doctor before she became affiliated with MDVIP and I would never change. I really like the fact that she is always available, she listens, she cares, and she never rushes through an appointment. She makes me feel important and is very careful to go over all my test results and makes sure I understand them. I can text Dr. Degnan after hours or on the weekend if I am not feeling well and she replies very quickly. A few years ago I became aware of a serious problem and she quickly referred me to a specialist in Charleston, SC. She is also familiar with all the doctors and medical facilities locally in case she needs to refer me to specialist. Her office is very attractive and her staff is always very congenial and professional. I do feel at home with Dr. Degnan and I surely hope she doesn't retire any time soon. She is the absolute best!
