Personal Interests
Dr. Allen is married and has a daughter. He enjoys hiking, teaching his daughter to ski and walking the family dogs.
Philosophy of Care
My approach to caring for patients centers around their trust, particularly trust
in my commitment to helping them feel better. This begins with being accessible, in
clinic and in the hospital, so they feel someone is focused on their needs right away.
I enjoy direct discussion where we can share details comfortably so not only do I
understand what is wrong and how to help, but so they understand their illness and
can participate in decision-making. My patients learn quickly that I share their hope
that all problems are fixable, and that their impact on the rest of life at home,
at play or at work is minimized. I make sure they know that there is no such thing
as a trivial question. If knowing the answer would make them feel better, it is always
worth asking.
Having been raised in Palo Alto, and currently raising my
family in the area, I am thankful to be able to help my community doing a job I love.
