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. 

Education

St. Matthew's University School Of Medicine & Veterinary Medicine, 2016

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.

She was awesome

06/24/2023
This was my first time at this practice and seeing this doctor, who came highly recommended. I was taken to an exam room within minutes of checking in and the nurse was so friendly. The doctor not only entered the exam room in a reasonable amount of time based on my appointment time, she spent plenty of time with me, and was very thorough. The check in and check out experience were both wonderful, the ladies at the desk were so welcoming and friendly. This was a completely different experience than I I have typically had at many different practices. Not only will I be back, I will be highly recommending this practice and doctor. It is nice to walk into medical practice and feel welcome and see a group of people who genuinely seemed happy and enjoying their job.

06/24/2023
For years I have been a patient with Dr. Wafa Hanna. I was surprised when she no longer was there. I decided to stay and see how Dr. Allotey was. I was NOT disappointed.
