Dr. Jennifer Allen

I am Jennifer Allen, MD, founder of New Freedom Family Medicine, LLC. I am proud to be a country doctor and hope that you will consider joining my direct care practice. I am board certified in Family Medicine.

I graduated from Oceania University of Medicine in 2012 and completed my residency training at Mercy Hospital St. Louis in 2015. Prior to becoming a physician, I was a nurse and Family nurse practitioner for 15 years.

The road for me has been long and winding, but I believe that my nursing experience and my medical education makes me a better physician and I cherish all of the experiences along the way.

Family medicine is the greatest medical specialty. I love caring for people of all ages- my favorite day is one when I have a newborn in one room and a 100 year old in the next.

My passion is learning about you as a person so that I can help you stay healthy and enjoy a fulfilling life. The relationships we form make the difference when you truly need a doctor. It is my honor and privilege to be trusted by you to provide care, advice, education and comfort when you need it. 

I am also a wife, a mother and a grandmother! My husband has been a pediatrician for more than 40 years. He is as dedicated to his patients as I am to mine.

We love sharing our hard cases with each other- saving the best ones for the dinner table! Beware if you ever drop in for dinner- the conversation is not for the faint of heart!  

Our daughter, Bryn has boundless energy. She is busy exposing us to gymnastics and horsemanship- 2 things I'd never have dabbled in if it weren't for her.  

My son, Andrew, and his wife, Tiffani married in 2018 and blessed us with our beautiful granddaughter, Ainsley. They are both working hard on their careers.

It has been a treat watching this next generation of parents wade into the water. Hopefully they'll remember we are here when they need us! 

My son Grant is a University of Kentucky Wildcat! He plays rugby year round- this is truly a great sport requiring amazing commitment. I am incredibly proud of his hard work and dedication on the pitch- let's see if it translates to the classroom next. 

My youngest son, Christopher, is 19 and working hard on his degree in reptile science in Utah.  He is a gifted athlete and runs so fast. He is very interested in the outdoors and talks about a career in conservation law enforcement. I am excited to see where the next few years lead him.

Those amazing people are part of the reason I wanted to make this change from traditional insurance based reimbursement to Direct Primary care practice. I want to be able to be the best doctor and best wife and mom I can be.

That lofty goal requires flexibility and portability. Just like your family might need a doctor at odd times- maybe just a quick question or maybe you need stitches at 7:30 pm- either way you shouldn't have to wait 3 days for a call back when you can send a text and get an answer in under an hour (maybe in 5 mins), nor should you have to pay a $250.00 co-payment and wait 3 hours to see an ER doctor who isn't the one who is going to follow up on that wound later anyway. 

Direct care means doctor-patient; me-you. Giving us both more time with our families, enjoying what we love most. 

Whether you are healthy or have complicated medical problems my practice is for you. The monthly membership is affordable and includes many services that insurance-based practices must charge for which can save money for your family.
