    I really appreciate Dr Allred and his staff for working so tirelessly with me for nearly a year to improve my quality of life. Dr Allred is exceptional at active listening and making assessments with his patients input. He is willing to include other specialities into the treatment mix and isn¿t afraid to acknowledge what he doesn¿t know. I appreciate his kindness, respect, and patience the most. I have never felt more heard with a doctor in my 40 years of treatment. It is rare to find a doctor like Dr Allred. He is very deserving of his position, and my entire family appreciates his care and concern for me and my unique case. Plus, I always leave happier after an appointment than when I came in. 100 stars!
