Joseph E. Allen II, MD

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 concerns of this disease is a mass forming in your pancreas and causing more harm. On top of that, the word mass frightens me. One way to detect this happening is through an elevation in your liver enzymes. In October 2023, my gastro doctor told me to come back in a year for my annual visit. After leaving his office, I thought 'hmm that's a long time not to have my liver enzyme level(s) checked. It was only a few days later, I had a follow up appointment scheduled with Dr. AlIen. I told him about my visit with my gastro doctor, of course, and my concerns in re my liver enzymes. He reminded me, with his office, I have four blood draws a year; and he would be checking the results himself. That day Dr. Allen literally told me, "I have your back". That, my friend, sealed the deal for me! Needless to say, I respect and trust Dr. Allen with my health needs, and as long as I can afford him, he will be my doctor. There you go. Thank you and thank him. 

Really never thought I would be calling Dr Allen after hours, but I have, and he was always there to provide medical care. When I need to see him for something that was unexpected, I usually was able to see him the same day. He listens, gives you plenty of his time, and I have never had a doctor who was so attentive in managing my medications. Had a tough time with COVID. Dr Allen got me through that, and I avoided hospitalization.

I have known Dr. Allen for over 30 years, both ,as a patient and as a nurse. He has always impressed me as being easy to communicate with, very thorough, and caring, He accepted my mother as a patient when she could no longer live alone in PA and I had to bring her to Tennessee . He gave her the same type of care and attention, I have always experienced. Since joining MDVIP, he makes himself very available to me, as a patient,even during off hours.

I suffer from diabetes, migraines & fibromyalgia. After joining MDVIP, Dr. Allen has had more time to research potential treatments that do not always include popular medications or methods. He looks for treatments that have proven results, fewest side effects and lowest costs available. Dr. Allen listens to me, talks to me and responds to me. He responds to texts and emails. He is so respectful and responsive I no longer hesitate to contact him with a concern or question. He has always been a great doctor but joining MDVIP has made him a less stressed great doctor.
