This was my first visit with Dr. Allen. I was a little nervous going into the appointment but after speaking with the first medical assistant I was at ease. When Dr. Allen entered the room, his personality and willingness to listen to everything I said made me more comfortable and gave me the opportunity to discuss everything I needed.
