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.

The best!
My hubby & I wanted a baby but he had had a vasectomy & I was 38 years old with PCOS. Dr Allen & his staff were so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We were able to retrieve 8 healthy eggs after genetic testing & our 1st implant worked!!!! We had our healthy beautiful boy when I was 40 years old! I had him naturally at 41 weeks (not recommended by the high risk doc FYI). Our son is thriving. I know my case isn’t always usually, as many women I know had to try up to three times for their implant to take, but it is possible, and especially with Dr. Allen & his suburb team. Good luck to you!!!

Dr.Allen is really great. He really cares about his patients and gave me hope when other Dr's left me with none. He has stayed up on all the latest technology and is the best in his business. I had success with my first IVF after trying for 10+ years to have a baby. I have a heart shaped uterus I was over 40 I was told I would not be able to carry a baby. Well Dr Allen said he thought I could and he was right. I have healthy twin boys now! Thanks for everything Dr Allen we're so blessed.
