“My goal is to listen and help patients find solutions to their concerns at all stages of life. Patients will be listened to, taken seriously, and never judged.”

A board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Tempest Allen cares for patients in every stage of womanhood, drawing from her passion for obstetrics and experience with robot-assisted gynecological surgery.

Background

Dr. Allen knew that her calling was medicine from a young age. In high school, she had the unique opportunity to shadow a local OBGYN physician in her hometown of Atlanta, Ga., and she even helped deliver a baby at age 16. Her mother, a single mom and pediatric nurse, motivated her daughter to go to medical school.

Her extensive training in all areas of women’s healthcare and maternal medicine allowed her to begin her career in Akron, Ohio, followed by an established, 25-year tenure at Bronson Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialists in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Dr. Allen, her husband Jaime and their chocolate labs love the sunshine and southern charm of the Lowcountry, and enjoy exploring the history and culture of the area.
