Board certified in nuclear cardiology, cardiovascular medicine, and internal medicine.

St. Luke’s Heart & Vascular Center, Heart Failure Clinic, specializes in the treatment and management of patients in various stages of congestive heart failure. Our focus is on the education of patients and their families to become full participants in their own home care, improve their quality of life and subsequently reduce the need for repeated long hospital stays.

Dr. Allen oversees the clinic and brings extensive experience through his advanced heart failure/transplant fellowship at Temple University Hospital. He introduced the Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) to St. Luke’s. The VAD is a mechanical pump used for patients who have a weakened heart awaiting transplant or who are not candidates for transplant. Dr. Allen also specializes in pulmonary hypertension and has opened St. Luke's Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, the first in the region.

He went to review my Echo himself, then sent me his comments & evaluation to My Chart so I could read It. I was very appreciative that he did this.”

“The visit was fine, I have been seeing Dr. Allen for years, he is my cardiologist. Why do you always ask is he the doctor who I call for all my medical needs, when the sytem clearly knows Dr. Allen is a cardiologist? You ask a lot of questions that are simply not relevant to reality. Kinda pesty.”

“This was my first visit to Dr. Allen after a not so great experience with a different Cardiologist in a different network. I was very impressed with the fact that he had taken the time to review my chart prior to my visit and was familiar with my case. He was very thorough and took time ti answer questions and explain things so my family and I could understand. During this initial visit, I decided that I had finally found the right doctor for me.”

My first time they're not office for the time I walked in until the time my appointment was done nothing but respect courtesy from the reception who checked me in to the medical assistant who did my triage to the doctor himself were nothing but professional They took the time to answer my questions. They did not rush me on anything and I would definitely recommend that facility to other people.”

“I have been a patient if Dr Allen for a year now. I was diagnosed with Pulmonary hypertension and Dr Allen has been managing my condition throughout this year. I can't tell you enough how wonderful Dr.Allen is. When I was diagnosed I was very concerned.. I Never heard of this before. Dr Allen was very thorough explaining it all in a way that totally put me at ease. I was out on meds and have been seen various times and had various tests.. Dr Allen is very thorough. This week's visit we were going over some things and mid sentence Dr Allen asked "ARE YOU OK?? I FEEK LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG. WHAT'S WRONG??".With that I started crying because I was having issues and feared it may effect my heart condition ....Dr Allen talked with me...explained how he had my heart condition was under that I was perfectly fine. That what I was going through was no way related. He then listened to me talk about my issues and was so kind and genuinely concerned . He talked to me for awhile and totally relieved all my worries. He helped me more than he knows . HE LISTENED..HE CARED ..HE HELPED.. This way way above and beyond what I was there for. He gave me such good advice and I will tell you I left his office with a whole new outlook that day. Talking with him turned me around.. I hope he knows how much I appreciate the fact that he realized something was wrong .. He stopped and made me feel comfortable enough to talk ...he listened. And he helped.I guess being a cardiologist he understands everything about the heart. Whether it's medical or emotional...I truly feel blessed to have a doctor like this. I'm glad I got this survey to tell my story .”
