Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Surgeon
Dr. Allison made me feel important and answered all my questions. He made suggestions which I took his advice. He was kind and respectful. He was upfront with all aspects of the surgery. I would definitely recommend him. His staff was also really kind.

EXCELLENT SURGEON
My daughter had breast reduction surgery March 2022. After doing our research we consulted with Dr. Allison who did the procedure. First, he is so kind and respectful, gentle and understanding. My daughter is young, and he made her feel comfortable and confident in her decision. I personally had this surgery over 25 years ago with another doctor and can say from experience that Dr. Allison did a phenomenal job. She had minor bruising and swelling, her incisions weren't jagged and she was left with a nice thin line so once healing is complete the scarring will be minimal. Not only was this a physical journey for her, but also an emotional one. We talked to him about this, and he was really supportive, and offered that additional support to see her thru. We just had our 6 week post operative appointment and she is doing so well, so happy in her decision and so grateful for Dr. Allison!!!!!!! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. SERIOUSLY HE IS AN ANGEL ON EARTH!

Dr. Allison did an excellent job removing a large growth from our teenage daughter's scalp. He was careful to remove as little of her surrounding hair as possible and left her with an extremely smooth, clean line of a scar. We are only a couple weeks post surgery and we are so impressed with his attention to detail and how well she has healed.

I love my new breasts! I have wanted to get breast implants ever since my children were delivered and I finished breast feeding. My breasts were left a bit droopy and deflated. I, like many women, was a bit afraid to have surgery. After talking with Dr. Allison and his staff, I decided to take the plunge. I now look great (again) in my swimsuit and v-neck sweaters. Thanks Dr. Allison!

I started seeing Doctor Allison in 2011. I was referred to him by my surgeon. He has treated me for breast reconstruction after having breast cancer. I have always found Dr. Allison to be professional and honest. He listens to all of my questions and is respectful in his answers. I continue to see Dr. Allison for issues that arise and am still fully satisfied.

I had a fatty tumor on my temple that needed to be removed. My experience with Dr. Allison and Leslie was outstanding! Dr. Allison is a extraordinary surgeon with excellent interpersonal skills to put me at ease during the entire process. Leslie also went the extra mile to ensure that my insurance information was processed properly. I would recommend this practice any day and twice on Sunday! They are great!

After reading many reviews I was nervous to go see Dr. Allison but I wanted to be my own judge. Any of the negative reviews couldn't be more wrong about him! I LOVED him. He was very thorough. He walked me through everything. Very understanding , answered any questions I had and did a fantastic job on my breast reduction. Excellent bedside manner. Him and his staff are by far the best office staff I have ever delt with in every way. HIGHLY recommended!

Dr. Allison performed neck reduction ( neck lift ) surgery on me. From my first meeting with Dr. A. through the follow up care I received from him, I have nothing but compliments for him and for his office staff. They have all made my experience anxiety free. I have already recommended him to a few of my friends and will continue to do so for anyone who needs plastic surgery. My family and friends have all complimented me on how I look now. Why did I wait so long to do it?

I saw Dr. Allison in 2015. Two years later I am back to the drooping upper eyelids. I assumed the procedure would be permanent. If I had known this ahead of time, I never would have gone to him. From what I have read recently, the procedure should last at least 10-15 years if not permanently.

Dr. Allison performed a very long, complicated procedure on me about two weeks ago. I am extremely happy with the results. I was back on my feet the next day and ready to get back into my routine. He listened to my concerns and provided the encouragement I needed at the time. He obviously knew what he was doing.

I was in need of some stubborn fat removed from my belly and flanks that I've been battling for 20+ years. I met with Dr. Allison and he informed me I was candidate for liposuction. Dr. Allison is very friendly and I could not have asked for a better surgeon. The office and surgery center staff are also great. Very calm atmosphere in the office and surgery center. Excellent results only a few weeks after surgery.

Dr. David Allison saw me on short notice. I had developed an infection and fever about 10 weeks after having had a breast reduction out of state. He was able to see me within 3 days of my visit to the ER. The ER doctor had recommended him. Even though I was not a patient of Dr. Allison he met with me and examined my wounds & infected area. He also read through the ER release & agreed with the prescribed medicines. I felt very comfortable with him and his staff. Great bedside manner.

My experience with Dr. Allison was very disappointing to say the least. He was rude and unprofessional. He insulted me personally, he degraded me in front of his staff and patients in the waiting room. He discredited my injuries. All of this and he never looked at my burns. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.
