Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr.Allen was the BEST! He was through and he gave me options in what we could do . The day of my surgery U was very very scared he was very reassuring and I felt at ease . My meniscus felt good immediately. I would recommend him to anybody and am very glad and blessed he was my Dr:) don’t listen to the reviews of him being short he is professional and caring !

Background: I’m a 25 year old, very active female who played lacrosse at the collegiate level and continues to run + hike long distances. I saw Dr. Allen for the first time a couple weeks ago, seeking a third opinion, after seeing a doctor in Santa Fe for inner knee pain. From the start he listened, explained the possibilities, and laid out the different paths I could take to resolve it. Within two weeks he was able to see me, perform the scope, and schedule a follow up appointment. He was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the success of his patients. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Dr. Allen did not perform surgery but saw my 70 year old father on several occasions during 2019 and 2020. During the most recent appointment, Dr. Allen said, "Oh, you again" as his greeting to my father. His aloof attitude implied that he was doing my father a favor by seeing him. When my father inquired if his pain could be related to nerves in the area, Dr. Allen said it was possible or "maybe you're having a heart attack." Considering his father died young of a heart attack, I found Dr. Allen's comments very disturbing. As a result, my father underwent unnecessary cardiac evaluations.

I loved my experience with Dr. Allen. He was very knowledgeable and most importantly very straight and honest about the procedures and there after and what to expect. A word of advice to those of you having shoulder surgery. Do not try and exceed your instructions with post operative recovery like I did. There is a reason Dr. Allen stresses on keeping that arm in a sling until you start your PT. 4-6 wks post operative. Don't try to push it or do more like I did or he will.have to go back again!!
