Meet Danielle Allen, Medical Assistant:
Hi Everyone! My name is Danielle Allen. Let me explain a little about my life in a nut shell…
My interest in the medical field started during my senior year of high school. I had the opportunity to be part of an internship which allowed me to see the ins and outs of healthcare. This experience motivated me to pursue further education with a goal of being able to care for others. I started my higher education at Eastern Maine Community College in general studies. After completing my general studies, I moved back home and began school at Central Maine Community College in a program to become a Medical Assistant. In the winter of 2016 I graduated from school with an associate’s degree in Medical Assisting. I then began my career at Bridgton Family Practice in Bridgton, Maine. Later I moved on to work at Western Maine Family Practice in Norway. This is where I first met and worked with Dr. Gerchman. Working in family medicine I have enjoyed caring for patients of all ages, from newborns on. Over the last several years I have grown within my role as a medical assistant. I have really enjoyed getting to know people and their families on a personal level and helping with their medical needs.
I was born and raised in Western Maine. I am the oldest of three siblings. I graduated from Oxford Hills High School. During high school I was very active in sports year round, was an avid social butterfly, and a committed student. My life now is filled with joy due to my four legged fur babies Ella (lab/pit mix) and Carter (lab/plot hound mix) and my high school sweetheart/Fiancé, Troy. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, boating during the warm summer days, and skiing and snowmobiling during Maine’s winter season. I live life to the fullest!
The opportunity to work with Dr. Gerchman and all of his patients at Living Well Family Medicine warms my heart! I am honored and excited for this new adventure and I can’t wait to get to know you all!
