I hope I never need to visit the office again while hoping my kiddo never has a heart condition. However, I feel very confident in taking him to see Dr. Allen and Staff. They were beyond lovely, and made the experience fun for son. We would highly recommend!

Dr Allen has been my son's cardiologist since before his 1st open heart surgery. He's one of the most compassionate doctors. Top notch, great with my kids and takes the time to make sure the parents understand. He's a very large part that my son survived hypoplastic left heart syndrome going on 14 years now

I would definitely recommend Dr. Allen to anyone looking for a pediatric cardiologist. He has been treating my daughter since birth for a congenital heart defect. He is VERY good with the kids, and with the parents too. He takes as much time as is needed and is very thorough in his answers. All of our questions have always been answered in terms we could understand and he has never made us feel we were rushed. When my daughter was an infant and we were stressed and worried, he was always just a phone call away, with a reassuring answer. I feel that we have been given excellent care and that God blessed us when we were sent to Dr. Allen.

Dr. Allen has been my son's cardiologist since he was diagnosed with atrial flutter when he was a little over 2 year olds. I cannot say enough about how knowledgeable and accessible Dr. Allen has been over the years. He is incredibly patient, thorough in his diagnosing and explaining the heart issues that my son suffers from.
