Ginger Allen, MD, enjoys the broad range of patients that family medicine provides. She enjoys being part of her patient's lives from caring for newborns to managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

She received her medical degree from the University of Washington and completed her residency in family medicine at Valley Medical Center.
