I’ve already referred family and friends to Dr. Allen. I received quite a bit of information before surgery and an overwhelming amount of information and follow post surgery. This really helped to set my expectations and guides my recovery.

I had a hip revision surgery with Dr. Allen in November. After 26 years with the old total hip I am pleased to say I am on the right track now that I’ve had this revision and back to work full-time. I so appreciated Dr. Allen and his team throughout this process. The way everything was explained, the empathy and the work to get solutions that worked best for me in the pain management and physical therapy department. Thank you very much.

Dr Allen did a total knee replacement revision of my right knee. I was never rushed and he always took time to explain my procedure in detail, answer my questions and address my concerns. The entire process from pre- to post-op appointments, in conjunction with the Force app, was informative and smooth. I would highly recommend Dr Allen and his team!

Dr Allen did both my knees, 3 months apart. Both procedures went well, were well explained before, during and after. Minimal pain afterward and recovery went as expected. The office staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The Force app reinforced everything Dr Allen told me and was an excellent resource for questions. I would highly recommend Dr Allen and his team and will absolutely contact him if I need my hips done!!

Dr. Allen is professional and caring with an amazing bedside manner. His entire office staff is fantastic and always willing to help. I had left knee total replacement surgery and the outcome was a success!! I will be scheduling my right knee replacement in the near future. I would (and do) recommend him to anyone needing an orthopedic surgeon.
