John M Allen's Online Review Report Card

I have been to see Dr. Allen for two separate procedures. The first was extraction of a lower front incisor that was causing crowding. This was in preparation for Invisalign correction by my orthodontist. The procedure required a bone graft, and he warned me that this was a difficult area due to bone loss (I am in my 60s). Nevertheless, he was confident that it would help me and we went forward. I'm so glad I did! Not only did he do a fantastic job with compassion and skill, but the bone graft went perfectly and I was able to successfully complete the 2 courses of Invisalign -- my teeth are so much better! The second procedure was for a serious infection under an ancient molar root canal. I went back to Dr. Allen because of my first experience. He immediately recognized the seriousness of the infection and got me in quickly for the extraction. Once again, he did the job quickly and beautifully, sparing the bone and making it possible to one day get an implant. And guess who I will see about that? Why, Dr. Allen, of course!

My primary dentist referred me to Dr. Allen for the extraction of all 4 of my wisdom teeth. For background: my wisdom teeth were not causing any pain, and none of them were impacted. They were, however, badly decayed, and my dentist felt that "saving" the teeth through fillings and the like were not worth the effort. I was told that extractions would avoid issues in the future. Nonetheless, I didn't like the idea of surgery, so I went to the consult with Dr. Allen with some apprehension. The staff began the visit by taking a panoramic x-ray of the entire mouth, and then I was placed in a private room for the consult with Dr. Allen. I was impressed by how Dr. Allen thoroughly reviewed the x-ray, physically examined the teeth, and discussed options. Given my age and general health, Dr. Allen recommended two separate extraction procedures: 2 wisdom teeth extracted on one day, and then the other 2 extracted in a separate procedure after I had recovered from the first procedure. He also recommended deep sedation for both procedures. I grumbled hearing this, not wanting to go through two surgeries, the possibility of complications during each procedure, two recoveries, etc. He also explained that after each procedure, I was looking at 3 to 4 weeks to fully recover. (More grumbling on my part.). Dr. Allen understood my reluctance, and left it up to me as to when (and if) I wanted to schedule the procedures. He was friendly and professional, and did not apply any pressure in terms of making a decision then and there. I left the office with a price quote for the procedures. Some time later, I cleared my calendar and went through with both procedures. I was impressed by how smooth the entire process turned out. Dr. Allen is truly a fine surgeon, utilizing all the latest equipment/technology to ensure my safety and comfort. I also have to say that his office is one of cleanest medical or dental offices I have ever visited. The staff in the front office, and in the back "surgery room", were great. After each procedure, Dr. Allen had prescriptions for antibiotics and different pain meds ready at my local pharmacy. He called my cell the evening after each procedure to see how I was feeling, and to answer questions. And then, a week after each procedure, I returned to his office where I was again put into a consultation room for Dr. Allen to examine the surgery site and confirm that there were no signs of infection or complications. Dr. Allen was "spot on" in terms of the total recovery time, but the pain medicines he prescribed were more than sufficient to manage pain levels. Overall, I am glad I had the extractions done, and grateful that the surgery was performed by Dr. Allen.

Dr. Allen has been, by far, the greatest medical professional I have gone to. I was extremely hesitant to have all four of my wisdom teeth extracted and put it off for years. Finally, I was referred and decided to go for it. The entire operation was about an hour and a half and before/during/after, not an ounce of pain. Dr. Allen did such an amazing job, I had no complications and was able to heal almost fully in one week. Again, Dr. Allen is such an amazing and caring doctor, I would absolutely recommend anyone who has doubts about their teeth extraction to go to Dr. Allen!

Needed an emergency consultation for a wisdom tooth that has decayed into my nerve. First impression was very good. Facility is very nice. Front desk associates were professional and helped me figure out my insurance applicability over the phone and was very responsive and patient, which I appreciated. My consultation visit went smoothly, they got me assessed in a timely manner. Dr.Allen accommodated me due to him having to take an important phone call during our consultation and waved some fees for my inconvenience. He took the time to really go into the details of what we need to be aware of for the procedure . I have my tooth extraction appointment set and will update my review of my actual procedure.

Dr. Allen is the most compassionate, kind and genuinely nice man! He has the most wonderful bedside manner. He takes his time with each patient. He takes the time to when meeting new patients to explain what procedure needs to be done. He listens to his patients and answers questions. His office staff are professional and so nice! The office is clean and nicely decorated! Dr. Allen is gifted and truly a healer! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of oral surgery, especially if you have a complicated case! Dr. Allen is excellent!!

Took my daughter to this Dr. for wisdom teeth removal. After an hour and a half Dr. Allen said he could not do it. I was taken out to the parking lot. They were already waiting on an exit door there to hand me my daughter. They handed me a girl with so much anesthesia on her that she did not know what was going on. She was totally distraught. He handed me a prescription for antibiotics because he did cut his gums, but did not extract any of them. They just put her in my vehicle and had me take her back home in that condition. I thought she was dying.Three weeks later another doctor performed a successful extraction of all her four wisdom teeth in a little bit over an hour.

I've had 4 surgeries with him for different reasons he's awesome!!! I won't go anywhere else he's so nice and caring I've known him since 2013 I believe that was my first surgery. I'm a young woman and I have never experienced any "inappropriate" things there at his office.
