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.

Very thorough and explicit
His immediate assessment regarding the cause of my hand issue was impressive. He also explained the reason for the issue, along with a smaller issue non related and is great at giving an option to rectify the problem.

Efficient Hand Doctor
I was seen by Dr Allen for the first time and he and his staff made sure I was given all of the information that was needed during my visit. Gave me my options and made me aware of both outcomes. I recommend seeing Dr Allen for Hand related issues if anyone is looking. Thank you and your staff for making my experience as easy as possible.

Skilled Professional Who Cares
Dr. Allen took his time to explain things and answer all questions. At a time where many physicians don’t have time for their patients and instead refer you to their physician assistant, Dr. Allen has always taken the time to see me and go over everything thoroughly. He did a fantastic job on my CMC arthroplasty. He is an asset to OrthoRI!

Excellent care
It was my first visit with doctor Allen for severe arthritis in both my thumbs. I was given excellent care by the whole team. They went above and beyond being I went in with an unexpected situation with my hand. I had been on vacation and was bitten by something on my pinky finger. It kept swelling causing cellulitis. They took care of that issue as well. It was a very nice office, clean, great setup, very attentive team, short wait, excellent service. I would recommend this doctor to all. Thank you Dr Allen.

Caring and thorough!
My visit with Dr. Allen was wonderful. From the beautiful facilities to the ease of scheduling and checking in, I felt comforted immediately. This was especially appreciated after dealing with a month of shoulder pain! Dr. Allen examined my X-rays (including an extra one for a finger injury!), explained my condition thoroughly, and was prompt in treating both my shoulder and finger. He is caring, personable, and all around a fantastic doctor!

Worth the Wait!
It was very busy so I had a long wait, but it was really worth it. Dr. Allen explained all my options, and told me what needed to be done. He gave his opinions, but let me make my own decision. I knew my wrist problem needed to be corrected.

I went to Dr. Allen's office for the first time, having severe pain in my right shoulder with limitations in the movements of my right shoulder. I was impressed by his great professionalism and knowledge in the area, recognizing my diagnosis immediately and giving me the appropriate treatment. Today I have only been to the doctor for one day and I am 80% better with my condition. I continue with the treatment and I imagine that in a few days I will be completely healthy. The physical area of ??the center is very comfortable and very clean and organized and the assistant staff is very friendly and helpful.
