I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences in Orlando, Florida, and continued my education at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, where I received her Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies.

Allyson Pagan, MD

Allyson Pagan, MD

Hi, my name is Dr. Allyson Pagan, originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, I completed my medical degree at Ponce Health Sciences University and went on to train in both general surgery and internal medicine, including residency with HCA Healthcare/USF Morsani College of Medicine at Brandon Hospital in Brandon Florida.

As an Internal Medicine physician, my passion is preventive primary care-focusing on keeping you healthy, managing chronic conditions, and catching potential issues early so you can enjoy the best quality of life possible.

I take time to listen and believe every visit should be about more than lab results or prescriptions. Together, we’ll review your medical history, medications, personal goals, screenings, and vaccinations. My goal is to provide holistic, compassionate, and personalized care while building relationships based on honesty and transparency.

I am proud to serve the South Shore communities of Wimauma, Sun City Center, Ruskin, Riverview & Apollo Beach Florida, and to be your partner in health. I am fluent in English and Spanish, with conversational French and Italian, and I love connecting with patients from diverse backgrounds. My team and I look forward to seeing you soon.
