Allison Lovell, M.D. is
originally from Greenwich, Connecticut and attended Manhattanville College
(Purchase, NY), graduating with a BA in Biology (Cum Laude) in just
3 years. Upon graduation, she worked at the internationally
renown Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute in NYC doing research there
and at the Mt. Sinai Hospital. This work stimulated her
interest in clinical medicine so she concurrently enrolled at
Columbia University in NYC to complete her pre-medical/cellular
biology educational requirements.
She received her medical training at St. George's
University School of Medicine, headquartered in Bay Shore, New York and did her
post-graduate training in Internal Medicine through the Yale
University residency program and received her Board-Certification in
Internal Medicine after successfully taking the required board
examinations.
Dr. Lovell has worked with local
medical groups over the years and also served as a staff physician
for Indian Health Services at Rincon where she ran the
pre-natal clinic in conjunction with obstetricians from the Sharp
Mary Birch Hospital. Her skills with ultrasound and as a
Radiographic Supervisor came in very handy there. She also
served as the sole physician at the Rural Health Clinic in Borrego
Springs where she learned more about the Life Flight system than she
probably wanted! Most
recently, she worked at the San Marcos satellite office of the
Graybill Medical Group.
In addition to her internal
medicine training, she has gained good experience in the fields of
occupational and urgent care medicine (and had worked with Drs.
Pearson, Booth, and Shimmin at the Industrial & Sports Medical
Center in the 1990's). She is very comfortable caring for
typical childhood ailments, as well.
She is energetic and
passionate about her profession. Her attention to
detail and her dedication to her patients compliments her warm and
caring personality. Philosophically, she partners with
her patients and teaches them about their conditions as she believes
that this facilitates better management of their health issues.
Adolescent medicine and women's issues are among her strengths.
She is the mother of two great
sons (who are aspiring actors) and her interests include tennis, bicycling, and
hiking and off-roading. |
