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.

Great Doctor and Surgeon
I’ve had hip problems and pain that have continually gotten worse and no other doctor has been able to get to the root of the problem. He immediately knew the cause and the solution. He fixed my back 8 years ago when I had a disk missing. His staff is very good and they work as a team.

Dr. Robert Allen, Jr. performed very successful C6 surgery in August, 1995. I was popping pain pills up to the day of the surgery. He correctly predicted after the surgery no more pain medicine would be necessary. Over the years, I have gone to him and his staff for consultation after having other surgeons recommend back and neck surgery. Dr. Allen correctly diagnosed the problem, and I avoided a major surgery that was totally not necessary. So, Dr. Allen is an excellent doctor anyway you measur
