About
Dr. Alonna Querns is a family medicine physician and the founder of SOAR Family Medicine in Path Valley, Pennsylvania. She studied Neuroscience at The Pennsylvania State University before earning her medical doctorate at Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her residency in Family and Community Medicine at Penn State Health in State College, PA. Her clinical work spans women's health, pediatric care, and chronic disease management. She holds particular interest in fertility, postpartum care, fatigue consults, and osteopathic manual therapy. Nutrition and lifestyle medicine also shape her approach with patients.
Dr. Querns grew up in a small business, forestry family in rural Central Pennsylvania. That upbringing built a deep commitment to serving underserved rural communities. During her early months of motherhood, her son Soren received a rare and complex spina bifida diagnosis alongside a congenital foot abnormality. He required multiple surgeries and is now walking. That experience sharpened her drive to provide thorough, relationship-centered care for children, parents, and young families. Patients know her as Dr. Q. Outside of medicine, she photographs families, babies, and weddings, and sings with worship teams at her local church.
