About Me

I’m Allison Rowden, PA-C, a board-certified physician assistant who joined Phelps Health in 2006. I collaborate with Phelps Health General Surgeon Dana Voight, MD. I commonly see patients for minor skin procedures such as excision (surgical removal) of lesions, cysts and lipomas and removal of tunneled lines (catheters or thin tubes that are placed under the skin in a vein). I also see patients for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, pre-colonoscopy/endoscopy visits and post-operative care.

Medicine is in my blood, you might say. My father is a physician, and I grew up making rounds with him at the hospital on weekends. I always knew I wanted to do something in medicine. After going on a medical mission trip and seeing PA (physician assistant) students in action, it solidified my career choice. Specifically, I loved my surgical rotation while in PA school and knew surgery was the right fit for me. After working with Dr. Voight as a medical student, I was offered a position working with him in 2006 and never looked back.

I believe that if you actively listen to your patients, they will tell you what is wrong with them. Listening is key.

I am originally from Columbia, Missouri, but have lived on a farm near Vienna, Missouri, since 2005, with my husband, son and daughter. We have several pets, cattle, chickens and hogs. In my downtime, I enjoy reading, hanging out with my family, cooking and baking.

Everyone was very attentive and made me feel important. Allison(NP) was so kind and took such care in explaining everything to me and she really listened to me. She didn't make me feel like my medical issues or issues were not important. She offered solutions or assistance to every problem I discussed with her. It goes such a long way when a medical professional makes you feel your medical needs are priority and not just another billing opportunity. Thank you for caring.

Allison Rowden was very caring, empathetic, and professional. She took the time to really listen and reassure me that we would figure out what was going on. After weeks of issues, she suspected the cause and ordered bloodwork that finally gave me answers and solutions.

Awesome surgical and follow up experience! It was great that my health issue was recognized and solved so quickly. Doctors and techs/nurses in ER were wonderful. Surgeons, surgery nurses and sleepy time doctors were great. I was so relaxed because I trusted what they knew and their skills. I tell everyone that from walking into ER to getting in my room after surgery was about four hours! The stars aligned and I had great teams working on me.

This was a preparatory consult for a colonoscopy. I thought it was a colonoscopy. They should make it clear for future patients that this is the case when doing a consult, not the actual procedure. Your staff is excellent, and they really care about their patients. Thank you

Allison was awesome! She spent plenty of time with me and made sure I understood my choices and the risks of each. I would definitely recommend her.
Dec 16, 2024
Even though I've only been a patient for a couple months, I'm always treated with respect and meant to feel right at home at all of my appointments. I really like how I'm invited to register before each visit with instructions on where to park and which entrance to use. I've had quite a few appointments in the month and a half since moving here and lost my calender that was my life line to keep track of my visits. So having the security of your staff reminding me when where ND how best to arrive has been a godsend for me. Sometimes it's the little things in life that set you at ease. The entire staff at each and everyone of my Dr. Appointments are the best thank you all very much it really helps me knowing you're there for me.
