About Me
Hi, I’m Allison (Allie) McLendon, ARNP, FNP-BC — a mom of three beautiful girls, a lifelong learner, and a nurse practitioner with a heart for helping others feel good — inside and out.
My girls are my world. They keep me grounded, laughing, and inspired every day. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me outside in my garden, curled up with a good sci-fi or mystery novel, working on a DIY project, or hanging out at home with my family and our English bulldog, Lenny. I’m a bit of a homebody, but I love an occasional outdoor adventure — especially on a sunny day.
I fell in love with medicine at a young age. After spending a lot of time as a patient myself, I admired the nurses and doctors who made people feel cared for. (And yes — I’ll admit, Grey’s Anatomy didn’t hurt either.)
Over the years, I’ve worked in almost every corner of healthcare — Med/Surg, Orthopedics, Dialysis, ER/ICU, Heart & Trauma OR, Family and Internal Medicine, Surgical Services, Tele-Triage — and I’ve loved every single step. Each experience has shaped how I care for people: with honesty, compassion, and intention.
Today, I’m proud to call a small private family medicine clinic my home. I love the “small town” feel — where medicine is personal, not transactional. It’s where I’ve built real relationships with patients, and where I’ve learned that caring for people means treating more than just the physical.
That’s what led me to aesthetics and wellness. I’ve met so many patients who are strong, resilient, and hardworking — but struggle with how they see themselves. I wanted to offer something that could help them feel better in their own skin, without the pressure or high costs that so often come with aesthetics.
That’s how Aesthetics by AM began. I wanted to create a space where people could experience high-quality, medical-grade treatments — wrinkle relaxers, fillers, IV therapy, weight management — in an environment that feels approachable, honest, and affordable. A place where care comes before sales, and where every recommendation is made with integrity and compassion.
Because feeling good about yourself shouldn’t be a luxury.
It should be attainable, genuine, and empowering.
At Aesthetics by AM, that’s exactly what I hope to give you — honest guidance, fair pricing, and care that truly focuses on your health and confidence, inside and out.
