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 is the absolute BEST in my book!! This super talented orthopedist goes way past “above and beyond” for his patients. I incurred terrible knee issues cleaning after an accidental discharge of water & no restoration companies were available. When I went to Dr. Allen in 2016, he was thorough, caring & knowledgeable. I also told him about a branding pain underneath my shoulder blade I had after a 2007 cervical surgery in Jonesboro. Five physicians could not diagnose the issue. He knew exactly what it was, gave me injections and within 24 hours the debilitating pain of 9 years was GONE!! He gave me my life back! Words can’t express how much I respect & revere this man. My injury led to a total knee replacement he performed. I was allergic to hypoallergenic glue used in incision. This would have happened no matter who the surgeon was! Dr. Allen’s expertise made this complication bearable & he gave excellent post op care. I praise GOD for Dr.Allen! He’s my go to guy!

Awesome. After an accident, Dr. Allen has provided such great care, wisdom, and concern. He has enabled me to become active again and continues such great continuing care. I have to exercise for many reasons, and he has worked hard to keep me active. Truly a God send for me!
