I presented Dr. Allan with a set of issues that have developed over the past couple of years. I've had all 6 joints replaced with the clinic and have developed difficulty with the simple task of walking. I asked Dr. Allan to 'quarterback' helping to figure out what the underlying cause(s) may be and put together a plan to fix it. He prioritized my issues (heart and lungs first) and then we will look for structural/physical/mechanical issues. I'm comfortable with and trust him.

I would recommend Dr. Allan to anyone in a heartbeat! My only cautions would be around the clinic itself - e.g. The sheer cost of everything from major procedures to simple bloodwork, as compared to nearly any other hospital or physician, coupled with the months-long issue I have been working with the ombudsman and billing on. This is not reflective of Dr. Allan in any way whatsoever however.
