I have been a patient of Dr. Degnan for over 10 years. An important 10+ years as a woman finding her way physically and emotional. Going through many life changes from my late 40's to early 60's. Dr. Degnan understanding and support has been invaluable in this transition. She has always listened with kindness. A incredible diagnostician sifting through my descriptions to diagnose… See more
She encouraged me to get a new pet after losing my cat. Odette was the love of my life and I cried every day for years I couldn’t bring myself to get a new kitty. Well I am finally going to adopt a new kitty. She will be arriving here soon. I know I will be much happier and not miss Odette as much and she will bring joy back to my life.
I have included MDVIP in this testimonial because without them I never would have the fabulous Dr I have today. It all started around three years ago when I was sharing my experience with a friend about the Medical community in the US today. Never able to get in when you really need to, long wait when you got to the appointment I’ve waited up to two hours before! Etc etc. This friend ask if I… See more
Dr. Degnan, But for your excellence as a physician, my wife very likely would have died. You diagnosed anemia and sent for a confirming blood test. The count was so alarmingly low you suspected perhaps something went wrong with the testing. You repeated the test on an emergency basis. The result was worse than the first test. You called me and asked for an immediate transfer to our closest ER… See more
I've been seeing Doctor Alyssa Degnan for many years. She is the best! She's been with me through various health issues and lately has helped me cope with the death of my husband and related depression and anxiety. I feel that I can tell her anything and she will have an answer for me. Trust her explicitly. She's a great listener and I always feel relieved when I walk out… See more
I am grateful for Dr. Degnan's approach to care. She is thorough, caring, and direct. I recently complained of symptoms that were pretty generic (tiredness, fogginess, etc.). She looked at my record and noted that I had not had blood work for a while, so we started there. Each lab test led to another, and she helped me understand the situation by speaking in understandable language and… See more
I met Dr. Degnan over 15 years ago. I was immediately impressed and convinced my husband to use her as his primary physician also. We found her to be "so smart" and caring for us individually and as a couple. We found it so helpful to be going to the same primary care doctor. Her referrals were excellent and timely. When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, she became his so-… See more

I was privileged to have Dr. Alyssa Degnan as my primary care physician prior to her association with MDVIP. When she made the move to MDVIP, I wondered whether or not it would be worth it from a financial standpoint to follow her. I made the decision that it would be and it was an excellent decision for me. Although she rendered wonderful care prior to her involvement with MDVIP, the extra… See more
My doctor is Alyssa Degnan in Aiken, SC, and am I lucky and grateful to have her.
Let me give you an example of the kind of care you can receive from her. I had a check up, and Dr. Degnan found a mass in my chest that she said could be a potential problem. The following day she called me, and said let's not wait for the mammography folks to call me with an appointment. She and… See more
