“Dr Allen is my hero!”
I suffer from scoliosis and have for over 40 years. My spine correction surgery completed at age 14 collapsed and my back was broken in two places. I was in tremendous pain on pain meds for 10 years. I couldn’t breathe and my heart wasn’t properly functioning. He saved my life. Since 2019 he has worked to rebuild my spine and I am now off pain meds and living a normal life. He is still caring for me. He truly cares about me and making sure I continue to be able to live with a better quality. ❤️
