  Growing up, Dr. Melissa Elizee loved volunteering at the nursing home where her mother worked. “I got to learn so much about the type of work and patients that she would work with, which made me develop a strong interest in geriatrics,” she explains.

  Julie Allen

  MD

  Dr. Julie Allen saw the impact that communication and cultural understanding has on patient care when her father had health problems—and it inspired her to become a physician. “I truly enjoy meeting patients, and I try to make a difference in their day with a friendly face, positive attitude, and respect,” says Dr. Allen, who is board-certified in family medicine. “As I help my senior patients meet their health goals, I enjoy learning from them as well.” When she’s not working or keeping up with medical research, Dr. Allen likes to shop for décor, cook for a crowd, cheer on the New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons, and visit family in the northeast. She hopes to see France and Italy one day, too.

  Aaron Pascual

  MD

  Dr. Aaron Pascual always knew he wanted to work in healthcare. “My love for science and to help others had no better fusion than to become a physician,” he says. He takes pride in being purposeful and sincere. “Being a patient is a very vulnerable experience and so by being as welcoming and genuine as possible, it helps to lay the foundation for a trusting and rewarding relationship,” Dr. Pascual explains. He says he felt especially compelled to work with the senior population after witnessing the lingering effects of COVID-19. Dr. Pascual considers this profession his calling. When not with patients, he loves spending time with his growing family. A fun fact about Dr. Pascual is that he was an avid scuba diver during college.
