David A. Allen

I was Dr. Allen’s first intern and subsequently became his first resident. He gave me the opportunity to pursue my love of surgery and become a board-certified surgeon! I continue to use his advice and try to pass on what I can to other veterinarians.

Dr. Allen helped me to set the foundation from which I could grow a career. I am grateful for the opportunity he gave me, and I am thankful for the training I received from him.

I do not think I could have asked for a better mentor as a resident. Dr. Allen instilled in his residents the power of critical thinking, compassion, and, most of all, integrity. The support he has given me in my residency and after my residency has made me the surgeon I am today. I will be forever grateful for his guidance and friendship.
