Dr. Allen

Meet Newton P. Allen Jr., MD


I have been a primary care physician in Nashville for more than three decades. I have a successful and fulfilling career practicing outpatient medicine and hospital care, as well as teaching for two medical universities and working as a leader in the Tennessee Medical Association. Treating the whole patient has always been my goal. My wonderful staff and I strive to provide more personalized and friendly care, with a touch of humor and even background music, founded on empathy, compassion and communication. Now, as an MDVIP affiliate, I approach primary care with a greater focus on prevention as well as treatment of illness. In my smaller internal medicine practice, I can offer you more individualized care and more time together. I can practice medicine the way I have always aspired and better help you improve your health and health maintenance.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. The enhanced doctor-patient relationship offered in my MDVIP-affiliated practice combined with the services included in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program are a big part of helping you improve your health span (living healthier longer).

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

DR. NEWTON P. ALLEN SAVED MY LIFE IN 2014, AS HE CORRECTLY, OVER -THE- PHONE, DIAGNOSED MY SEVERE LIFE THREATENING CONDITION! HE MET ME AND MY HUSBAND AT THE DOOR OF HIS OFFICE AND ESCORTED US TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE, IN SHORT, MY LIFE WAS SAVED! AND, SO, DR. ALLEN AND HIS EXCELLENT NURSES AMBER AND DANIELLE ARE AT THE TOP OF MY LIST FOR "PRAYERS OF GRATITUDE" , NOW AND ALWAYS!

Doc Allen, nurse Amber & team is the very best I've ever seen! As MDVIP patient I highly recommend them to anyone. My first two physicals were super thorough and educational to live my healthiest life yet. They are so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and Dr. Allen is super responsive!! Plus the photographic wall art and bowties are a classy touch! He will be my forever Doc and could be yours too!!

My grandmother was a patient of Dr. Allen's for many years and I had no idea the horrendous care he was providing until I started attending her appointments with her, at her request. He was very rude to me the first appointment I attended and got worse at subsequent visits. If a provider is upset that his elderly patient has an advocate there with her it's not a good sign. I was just there to help her remember stuff. He was not receptive to her questions and dismissed almost everything she said. He almost treated her like she was an annoyance, and not his patient. The communication from the office regarding lab results or other tests was nonexistent. And, honestly, any sort of investigation into an ailment/issue was nonexistent. He absolutely could not be bothered to help her address any minor issues she was having. Lucky for us she is very healthy. The wait times at his office were atrocious and it was not abnormal for us to sit in the waiting room for 25 minutes, then sit in the consultation room for another 45 minutes waiting for Dr. Allen to come see us. She has since transferred and has a lovely, patient, respectful doctor at Heritage Medical Group. If your older loved ones are patients of Dr. Allen I would highly recommend you attend the appointments to make sure they are getting the level of care they deserve.

Dr. Allen has been my Primary Physician since around 1989. Guess you can say we go way back. Always Professional but not stuffy and it’s a pleasure to see him and his staff. He knows I’m stubborn and don’t always listen as I should then he’s ends up being right. Thankfully for an old guy I’m in pretty decent health. He’s seen to it and I appreciate it so much.

I have seen Dr. Allen for the last 20-30 years and am extremely satisfied with him. He is very personably and an extremely good doctor. Since he started the concierge service I have had the most test done to ensure my health and he can spend more time with each patient which I like. I would not see anyone else unless hevretires.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Allen’s for over 10 years and have always found him to be knowledgeable and well informed of current research in medicine and wellness. That opinion has improved since his and our affiliation with MDVIP. He is even more generous with his time and exercise of his acumen as a medical practitioner. He has my wife’s and my enthusiastic recommendation.

A physician and a friend

from Michael in TN • March 18, 2024
Dr. Newton ("Newt") Allen, I can think of dozens of stories, but my favorite is Newt's annual Christmas party to which my wife (Avis) and I have had the pleasure of attending for many years. Nothing fancy, bring a plate, have a cup of hot cider, visit with friends and fellow patients...then gather around the piano as we sing Christmas carols. I know it's corny, but it is a singular Norman Read more...

"Young Doc Allen"

from Carla in TN • February 28, 2024
It was the early 1990's, and I was about to open my first retail store. I had interviewed several hundred people for various positions. There was a terrible flu going around that year, needless to say, I was overworked and got it. I was so sick and getting weaker that I finally called St. Thomas to find a doctor I could see that morning. The store was opening in less than 48 hours and Read more...

Dr. Allen knows his stuf

from Robert in TN • January 19, 2024
I had a stroke. Three neurologist saw me and none of them would not tell me my probable prognosis. Dr. Allen said he thought I would probably be alright based on his decades of experience. This reassured me and inspired me to pursue my rehabilitation with enthusiasm. Dr. Allen was right. I have recovered.
