She then went on to complete her Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2014, and became a Family Nurse Practitioner. Allison started her advanced practice career as a nurse practitioner at a Scott & White Family Medicine and Urgent Care clinic in 2014, where she managed acute and chronic medical conditions for patients of all ages. She transitioned to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Scott & White in 2016, where she specialized in women’s health. She began working at Premier ER and Urgent Care in 2018 where she continues to serve our community today by caring for patients in need of urgent medical care. She is excited to pursue her passion for fitness, health and wellness at Optimal Concierge Medicine by collaborating with patients to improve their healthspan with proactive and preventative healthcare. She is passionate about improving the patient-provider relationship that is often compromised in traditional medicine by focusing on improving access, quality and depth of care. Outside of work, she enjoys time with her family and friends, being outdoors, watching her boys play sports, exercise, watercolor painting, researching new recipes to improve her cooking skills and looking forward to her next trip to the mountains. Allison is personally committed to a healthy lifestyle, and is excited to help you integrate healthy and sustainable habits into your life!
