Dr. Alana John
Founder & Medical Director
Expertise Meets Personalization
Dr. Alana John is a triple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine, with advanced training in functional medicine and aesthetics. Born and raised on the Caribbean island of Grenada, known as the Island of Spice, she grew up in the lush countryside of St. David, surrounded by rainforest and farmland. Her early life, deeply connected to the land and community, shaped her holistic approach to wellness.
Before medicine, Dr. John worked as a science teacher, a role that honed her natural ability to explain complex concepts clearly, an approach she continues with patients today. She earned her medical degree through the Global Scholars Program, training across Grenada, the UK, and the US, before completing specialty training in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine. Her career has spanned diverse healthcare settings across the United States, from major academic centers to rural programs, including time-serving Amish communities, an experience that strengthened her respect for individualized, patient-centered care.
Her extensive education and experience give her a unique ability to address both the internal and external aspects of health, blending science and artistry for comprehensive, personalized care.

A Family-Rooted Vision
At the heart of Spiro MD is more than a medical practice, it’s a family.
Dr. Alana John and her husband, COO Bartosz Matejczuk, bring not only their professional expertise but also their shared values into the foundation of Spiro MD.
Coming from two very different worlds, they’ve built a life, and a business, that blends tradition, creativity, and balance. Bartosz, originally from Poland, carries the strength and steadiness of his Eastern European roots, holding true to traditional values of providing and protecting. Alana, born and raised on the island of Grenada, brings warmth, color, and a deep love for nature and connection.
Together, they create a grounded yet vibrant partnership, both in life and in business. Their blended family is central to everything they do, with their children involved in ways that match their unique personalities and strengths.
Spiro MD reflects these values:
