Astia Allenzara, MD

I am a general internist and primary care doctor. I study the relationship between health-related social needs, such as food insecurity, and health outcomes. My current work emphasizes interventions that address these needs as part of clinical care, and the health effects of policies that affect the distribution of unmet health-related social needs.

I chose the field of geriatrics because of a desire to partner with patients to help provide clarity and dignity amidst the many joys and struggles of aging. I have a particular in interest in memory disorders and delirium management.

I am a hematologist who treats non-cancer blood disorders. I have a special interest in bleeding disorders and women’s health issues. I believe in listening and learning from my patients to become partners in care. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking exploring local trails and trying new restaurants.
