Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She is very knowledgeable in what she does.
My problem got better from the previous visit and surgery has been delayed.

Good Doctor.
My visit with Dr. Allen was for a Nerve Conduction Study. There is definitely some discomfort with this procedure... But I found Dr. Allen very easy to converse with.

Focused and thorough!
I arrived at a followup visit for a back issue, but had a new shoulder pain that was concerning. Dr. Allen did a full exam including an Xray and ultrasound, diagnosed the source of pain, and helped with pain management, prescribing PT and a special compounded ointment that should help. Highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Allen is wonderful! From the moment she walked into the examing room and throughout my entire appointment I was impressed with her. She listened to my concerns with the issues I am experiencing. After my examination, she discussed with me her thoughts for my treatment going forward. I am extremely confident under her care and would recommend her to anyone.

Follow up visit. She recommended injection in left hip due to inflammation of bone spur. I have been seeing Dr Allen since 2017 after my lower lumbar surgery. She is very good at her specialty and I would highly recommend her.

I saw Dr. Allen last week for a knee problem and am already improved. I've seen her over the years for problems with each shoulder, low back, and hip and each time she has set out a plan to resolve this issue without invasive procedures or even an MRI. She evaluates the problem area with office ultrasound and I have yet to notice a charge for that. This country needs more caring physicians like Dr. Allen.

I love the wayDr. Allen practices medicine. She sees you herself instead of having to run a gauntlet of PA's etc before face to face time. She spends the time she needs to, does procedures herself, explains what and why she's doing things. She's taken me from a painful mess and returned me to functional and pain free while avoiding surgery. I wish I'd found her years ago.
