Dr. Allen can really put your mind at ease with his compassionate and calm approach. He listens to your concerns putting into consideration not just my opinion but also that of my husband. As I heal from surgery his skill really shines through... I am amaze at what he can do with a very long incision. I highly recommend Dr. Allen.

Dr. Allen is a compassionate and skillful plastic surgeon. He has performed very complicated procedures on both of my feet and I would highly recommend him. I am thankful that he is my treating physician.

He did my closure following my bilateral mastectomy and then did a revision to the closure. The results of the revision so that I could have smooth flat closure have been excellent.

Dr. Allen is a very knowledgeable and confident doctor. He performed a successful diep flap surgery on me that was over 6 hours right after my mastectomy. He worked with Dr. Debra Capko who performed the mastectomy. They were a great team. Both my husband and I felt confident with me in his hands. He was very patient with my needs and my questions. He was extremely patient with me since I had to make a decision on how I wanted to do my reconstruction since I had prior radiation. He was very caring after the surgery and made sure I was comfortable and well taken care of by his staff at the main Sloan hospital. His team is exceptional. I will forever be grateful for his patience and dedication to his profession.
