Unparalleled excellence. In all the years I have worked at UAMS, and been a patient as well - I have not experienced this level of service and caring.

Dr. Allen is an amazing physician. He showed great concern, compassion, and kindness. He listened and allowed me to have input in my plan of care. He assisted in same day imaging and called me to discuss MRI results and made sure there is a plan for follow up. I am beyond grateful to Dr.Allen and his staff!

He disregarded my concern about the lack of mobility in my fingers and gave instructions I was unable to follow because of the splint on my arm.
