About Me

Growing up, I always appreciated the integral role that family physicians play within their communities and the tremendous impact they can have on their patients’ health and happiness. This is what drew me to the practice of family medicine to begin with and why I am such a strong believer in preventive medicine. I truly enjoy working with my patients to manage their healthcare needs and feel that a holistic approach to medicine is the hallmark of primary care and remains a priority in my practice. 

I am a board-certified family medicine physician. I completed a residency at St. Luke’s Sacred Heart Campus where I was proud to be honored with the Jerome Collier Family Medicine Resident Award for professionalism, dedication to quality patient care and high ethical and moral conduct. 

Although I was raised in London, I have grown to love the Lehigh Valley and enjoy spending weekends exploring all the area has to offer. I also enjoy spending time with my husband and young daughter as well as reading and Zumba.

Dr. Allotey is a very compassionate and thorough healthcare provider. It has always been a great experience for me since I started coming to the practice. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

10/24/2024
I made an emergency appointment to see Dr. Allotey after a fall I had taken the previous week. I was leaving the next day for a 10 day trip to Europe and was worried I potentially had a blood clot. I was pleased I got an appointment within hours, and both Dr. Allotey and the receptionist went above and beyond to find an ultrasound appointment the next day before noon when I left for my trip. This office, and the ultrasound location in Bethlehem, truly went above and beyond for my convenience. Dr. Allotey is an excellent provider and one of the reasons I love St. Luke's. Thank you!

Always a good visit with Vera Allotey, MD

10/14/2024
This was a first visit, Vera Allotey, MD who will be my new primary doctor. I never felt so welcomed by a Doctor before. She treated me like she knew me for years. Was very thorough going over my records from LVHN. I felt totally comfortable with her. Her suggestions for test make sense and should have been done . I wish I would have made this switch a long time ago. I feel very confident that she will get me back on track, to living a better life.

Dr. Allotey and her staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive and respectful towards me and my husband. In the 14 years we have been together, this is the first doctor that he has seen religiously and regularly because he feels so comfortable and safe with her. We both trust Dr. Allotey with her expertise and advice when pertaining to our preventative and overall care! She is the best!!

Overall I am satisfied with Dr. Allotey.

09/09/2024
Totally excellent! I usually see a different physician, but Dr. Vera has seen me on two occasions when I needed immediate care. I totally appreciate and value her doctoring, her professionalism, her concern, and genuineness. I have already recommended her to my nephew and his wife as they have returned to the Lehigh Valley. Both have already had an appointment with her and we're very pleased making her their first choice for a regular physician. I myself am totally confident in seeking her for medical needs. Thank you, (Name)

My first visit at this withVera Allotey, MD at this office and I was very pleased and looking forward to continue here

08/26/2024
Dr Allotey is the best PCP I've had since moving to the valley (8 years ago). I moved to St. Lukes after getting the revolving door treatment at another network. I started with Dr. Allotey when she joined St. Lukes in North Whitehall and then followed her to Fogelsville office. She is compassionate, kind, patient and genuinely cares about my health and well-being. Healthcare is a relationship "business"; one of the most important avenues of life where you need a solid relationship with your provider/practitioner.

Dr. Allotey is a remarkable physician. She is unusually astute, caring, kind, as well as intelligent, focused, and personable. She listened, and was able to pinpoint a minor health issue that was missed by my previous physician. The quality of care she provided went beyond the call of duty. She is a rare gem.

Very helpful and caring visit with the doctor and staff. I was relieved with positive answers to some of my concerns.

04/22/2024
I have been a patient for the past 50yrs. My family care doctor was the same doctor I had since I was a little girl and had retired last year. I had decided when he retired I was leaving another network. I have not been happy with the new physicians, or my Neurologist. I did some research and chose Dr. Allotey. I was a bit nervous since this was a not only a new Dr. But a new practice. From the time Dr. Allotey walked in the door, I knew I picked the perfect Dr. Dr. Allotey made me feel so comfortable and so HEARD. She truly listened to my concerns and scheduled me for further tests to help address those concerns. She is going to be having one of St. Lukes neurologists reach out to me as well. I will be leaving my other network neurologist. I already can tell that St. Lukes is where I am going to be getting the best treatment. I had such a genuine feeling of care after only one visit with a St. Lukes Dr. And the staff. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

Recently I got excellent help from this office. About 2 weeks ago I was planning to spend a weekend with my parents because of my mother's illness and no caretaker was available. Saturday morning my mother was taken to the ER. Since she is blind I am always the one to stay with her in the hospital. Forgot to mention that this was in New Jersey, 2 hours from where I live in Pennsylvania. Well, my mom was admitted and I stayed with her. She was in the hospital way passed the weekend. I had packed my medicine for Saturday and Sunday and now it was Monday and I had no medication for myself. I called this office and told them the number of the CVS in town (in Jersey) and by dinner time my brother picked up the medicine and brought to me in the hospital. We were there for 2 more days but I never missed a dosage of my medication. I was more impressed with this staff than even before. They saved the day for me because if I became sick then I wouldn't be any good for my mom. I love this staff and Dr Allotey is the best Physician I have ever had. She makes you feel like you are the only patient she has.

02/04/2024
I am extremely pleased with the care I receive from Dr Allotey. She is professional and yet very caring.
