The reviews listed below were collected independently of Eye Care of San Diego, Pendleton Eye Center through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr Allen takes time and care with her patients. I needed consultation on an eyelid growth, and she made moves with authorizing my insurance for it to be removed same day. The whole staff in the office is kind and everyone helped make my care go smoothly.

Dr. Allen is definitely a highly qualified Ophthalmologist who — I personally experienced in my eye treatments — is well versed in the latest progressive protocols available. Too, I have found Dr. Allen was able to patiently “walk me through” the proposed treatment(s), in a way that left me assured that I’d be totally satisfied with the outcome.
Lastly, knowing that Dr. Allen has practiced at Naval Med Ctr. SD (Balboa), it assured me that she was the exact right choice of Ophthalmologist!
