What Members Are Saying

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 Rockwell moment. Without question, the very best Christmas party to which I have ever been invited. Newt and his darling bride Burkley epitomize the image of the family physician practice. Up until recently, he continued to round on his patients that were in the hospital. This just does NOT happen anymore. I am blessed to have Newt in my corner...and to top it all off, I consider him a dear personal friend!

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 there were still lots to do. I got in to see young "Doctor Allen". I told him the situation and that I couldn't just go home and go to bed. He listened and probably realized I wasn't going to back down. Instead of fighting with me, he had his nurse set up IV bags and fill me with fluids. Yes, I was totally dehydrated. I think he gave me a shot and scripts and said come back if you are not better in 48hrs. He could have been like the other "OLD" doctors at St. Thomas and put me in the hospital. But he didn't. I would like to also thank "Doc Allen" for the years he took care of my Mom and sister. After a couple of years of seeing him, I convinced Mom and sister to change their PC physician. It was the best decision I could have ever made. In their last years Doc Allen was only a phone call away to help me make final decision for their care and well-being. This meant everything to me, even when Mom was no longer in his care, he would look at test and tell me what was going on and what to expect. Not many Doctors will do that. Thank you! Lastly, how many people get sung to in the pouring rain by their doctor. Only Doc Allen would stand out in the rain to campaign for his wife. Now that's dedication. Thanks for the last 30 plus years of listening and not becoming one of the "OLD" doctors.

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.

Family Appreciation

from Janet in TN • January 18, 2024

I know my husband would want me to tell Dr. Allen how much he and I appreciated the care he took of him until his death. He even drove all the way to Hendersonville to visitation after his death in 2021. (which is no easy trip). Our family has always had confidence in him and for that reason I chose to enroll in his concierge practice. He became our family’s physician in 1992, and a doctor/ Read more...
