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!
