Meredith Allen, MD, attended Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine in Rochester, Michigan, where she earned her Doctor of Medicine in 2021. She then went on to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis to complete her Otolaryngology residency in 2026. Dr. Allen joined Kelsey-Seybold’s Otolaryngology (ENT) department in July 2026.

Having shadowed care teams in a neonatal intensive care setting while she was in high school, Dr. Allen knew early in life that she loved working with patients and interacting with healthcare teams. As an ENT physician, she treats adults and children for a wide range of conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, and neck, including thyroid disorders, swallowing problems, ear infections, and sinus disease — and she has a particular interest in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and salivary gland disorders. Dr. Allen loves building relationships with patients and having the opportunity to make a profound difference in their lives.

Philosophy of Care

Dr. Allen uses active listening to guide in-depth discussions with her patients and provide high-quality, evidence-based care. Along the way, she ensures every patient feels empowered to participate in their care decisions that best address their individual concerns.

Hobbies & Interests

When she’s not at the clinic, Dr. Allen loves traveling, long walks outside, Pilates, and spending time with family and friends.
