Well l had a tumor the size of a golf ball on my pelvic bone, stage 4 cancer which he never caught. He did test on my back and not hip. Even told me my back was fine but I had numerous steroid shots, physical therapy and lots of pain killers for about a year. Got to 85 lbs and he would say l bet all your friends are jealous of your weight loss! I was dieing and he never caught it! Changed Drs and he caught it immediately! Drs make mistakes but l was also treated bad by his team of nurses and staff! This place is like a cattle farm! Again he ruined my life and now disabled due to not catching this sooner!

I have been a patient of Dr. Allen for 38 years. I was told by my NP who takes care of me in Pulaski that he has retired. I know there is no way I could talk to him, but I just wanted him to know how well I am doing. We have argued Tennessee Vols for years. If possible can you please let him know I will miss him and if I ever need a neuro surgeon again who would he recommend? Thank you so much. Merry Christmas.

NO other doctor will ever touch my back. I have had two back surgeries, one of them was major and the other was a rare cyst with a rare bad infection. He took excellent care of me and brought in an infectious disease doctor and his partners all came to see me. He is the BEST.

Dr. Allen is an excellent physician. I had severe leg pain due to a herniated disc and spurs on my spine. It has been almost a year since surgery and I am able to be active again. I highly recommend Dr. Allen!
