"Dr. Answorth Allen surgically repaired my torn ACL back in 2000. Today in 2023 still walking great, active in sports and so happy that I was able to see him and get his recommendation. I wanted to avoid surgery all together but so glad I met Dr. Allen. So professional and a lifesaver! Sincerly, Natanael Santos"
