Katie Allen, FNP-C

I’m Katie Allen, FNP-C, and I work as a certified family nurse practitioner at the Phelps Health Waynesville Medical Plaza. My collaborating physician is Phelps Health Chief Medical Officer and Family Medicine Physician Darren George, DO. I joined Phelps Health in 2024 because I love their commitment to serving the community.

I see patients of all ages for a variety of conditions, including high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, anxiety, depression, diabetes, obesity and headaches. I also provide general health and wellness checkups.

I grew up in the Cajun country of Louisiana before moving to the St. Robert, Missouri, area, where I provided 12 years of civil service at Fort Leonard Wood. I truly felt honored to serve those who served me. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling, fishing, going to the river, tackling DIY projects and supporting my husband and children in their various hobbies.

I want to make the world a better place, one patient at a time, by helping to improve their quality of life. I enjoy seeing positive results and progress for the entire family. Life is hard enough without healthcare adding to the burden. To lessen this burden, I offer my patients and their caregivers the convenience of family appointments.

As a provider, I strive to build caring relationships with my patients through active listening, ensuring they leave each visit feeling seen and heard. I believe that every patient for whom I can make life a little better, in turn, makes me a better provider.

I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.
