Renee Allen

Hi, I’m Dr. Allen, and I wear many hats: OBGYN, physician leader, author, media personality, and entrepreneur. I have a diverse background in clinical, academic, and executive roles, as well as a passion for women’s health and wellness.

Renee's journey

I was born in Jamaica and raised in Toronto, Canada, where I earned my Master’s of Health Science Degree in Community Health and Epidemiology from the University of Toronto. I then moved to the US to pursue my medical degree from Michigan State University, College of Human Medicine. I completed my residency training in Gynecology & Obstetrics at Emory University and joined the faculty at Morehouse School of Medicine for four years. I then spent nearly a decade as an OBGYN Hospitalist in Atlanta, GA, taking care of women with complex obstetric and gynecologic conditions

love for Leadership position

In 2019, I decided to switch gears and take on an executive physician leadership position within the largest health system in Georgia, where I led Performance Improvement and education initiatives to make healthcare better, safer, and more efficient. I also created two innovative solutions for the nation’s leading health performance improvement company, where I worked as the Principal, Physician Clinical Operations until 2023. One of these solutions was focused on Women’s Health, particularly Maternal Health – my first love. In this role, I applied my clinical and operational expertise to improve healthcare outcomes, reduce costs, and increase patient satisfaction.

I’m now an author, physician leader, media personality, and entrepreneur, pursuing my passion projects and sharing my insights and experiences with the world. I’m also a sought-after consultant and thought leader on women’s health issues and other hot topics in healthcare. You may have seen me on CNNEspanol, heard me on ReachMD, or read my articles in publications such as Good Housekeeping, Business Woman Magazine, Bustle, and Fit Pregnancy. I love to engage and educate audiences on issues related to pregnancy, sexual health, menopause, and other wellness topics.

I’m dedicated to reshaping the lives of individuals, both domestically and abroad, through my clinical, leadership, and media roles. I’m a proud member of the Jamaican diaspora and I live in Atlanta, GA with my husband, a french-trained chef, and our son. We love to travel, eat amazing food, entertain, and spend time with our village of close friends and family.
