Philosophy
"My philosophy of care centers around the idea that a physician-patient relationship is built on trust, communication and compassion. I strive to practice inclusive medicine, in which everyone feels welcomed and heard. Inclusivity is something I continually work towards and am ever conscientious of. Being considerate of people's needs is something that's deeply rooted in medical care; as clinicians, we must be conscious of being empathetic and compassionate, as these are foundational tenets of inclusive medicine."

Dr Allen gives her full attention to the patient. She listens, is patient, you do not feel rushed, she offers advice but lets the decision be up to the patient. She allows your experience with her to be very relaxed and calm.
