Dr. Allen was very attentive in my initial consultation. He sent me for an MRI, which I completed 7 days ago and which showed two herniated discs. Nonetheless, I have not heard from him nor been able to reach anyone in his office.

Exceptional patient care, highly accomodating, and speediness of results is how I'd describe my visit. My visit to Dr. Allen could not have gone better. First of all, let me say that I usually do not go out of my way to write reviews. However, I felt that this one really is necessary because of the quality of my visit with Dr. Allen. I booked my appointment only the night before and he was able to accomodate me. Additionall, I ended up being 15 minutes late to my appointment but Dr. Allen and his staff were extremely patient even though I was the last appointment of the day. Dr. Allen is one of the most friendly, personable doctors I have had. He listened very closely to the conditions I was experiencing and my background and then clearly articulated what he thought could be causing my lower back pain. He suggested it was best I get an MRI asap. To top the visit off, Dr. Allen personally called a nearby MRI center and asked for a personal favor so that I could have the MRI that night. I have rarely experienced such exceptional care and personal service. Given the severity of my condition and the anxiety that comes with having back pain, I am so grateful to have visited Dr. Allen. Tomorrow he will receive my MRI results, will call me directly to discuss, and I will know my diagnosis.

Dr. Allen was very detailed on explaining my MRI report and gave me several options regarding surgery and physical therapy- I was able to get an appointment the same day I called, and my wait time was only 2 minutes - I highly recommend Dr. Allen to anyone with chronic pain looking for answers and relief-

I highly recommend Dr. Allen. He clearly knows what he is talking about and communicates it very well to non-medical people like me. He also doesn't talk AT me, which is a skill that many doctors seem to lose, (or forget.)

Didn't pressure me into tests he thought were unnecessary but was very open about the usual protocol of order of tests insurance companies approve in. Great experience

Was great about looking into my issue with a no-fuss attitude and trying to avoid having x-rays or other treatment done for a problem that will most probably heal by itself.

I was very impressed with all aspects of this office experience, from the cordial front desk, who checked to be sure my insurance was accepted to my experience with this doctor. The exam was prompt, thorough, and we had an excellent discussion about treatment options. I would highly recommend this practice, and look forward to working with this physician.

I thought Dr. Allen was extremely professional and helpful. He is more interested in getting to the root of the problem rather than just masking the situation with meds like other doctors I've seen.

Great guy, very knowledgeable -- knows the big words but also how to bring them down to non-doctor level for us simpletons. Explained my knee problems with a model and discussed my questions at length. Feel like I'm now on the right track to recovery
