Allen, John, MD

I returned to LG Health Physicians Family Medicine Strasburg in June 2023 after working for the Family Medicine residency in Quarryville. I graduated from University of Maine with a B.S. in Biology and remained in the Northeast to attend medical school at University of Vermont. I was a resident in the family medicine program at Lancaster General Hospital from 1993-1996, and went on to complete aFaculty Development (Teaching) Fellowship and joined the faculty until 2000. I then returned to my home state of Maine to practice rural family medicine including OB care from 2000-2006in private practice in Biddeford. During that time, I obtained my Lactation Consultant Certification. My family was drawn back to Pennsylvania to continue my medical career atWomen and Babies Hospital (WBH), the first hospital in PA to be designated Baby Friendly by the World Health Organization. WBH continues to hold this designation today. In 2014, I received the Physician Achievement Award from the LG Health Medical and Dental Staff for leadership and communication for my work toward this designation. Mypersonal and professional goals include providing patients with an extraordinary experience.Currently, I provideprenatal care, performa vast array of procedures incuding dermatologic, gynecologic, and musculoskeletal, and provide acute/chronic disease management while working with patients to maintain healthy lifestyles through good choices and habits.
