Dr. Allende is a knowledgeable, wonderful and caring doctor! I’ve been to numerous doctors, spent thousands of dollars and finally found one that actually listens and trying to help me. The best bedside manners, so informative and gave me the knowledge I needed to try and get me on the mend. I can’t thank him and his office enough for their compassion and professionalism. Words can explain how thankful I feel! ??

I have Scoliosis and Stenosis and because of back pain. I was going to Pain Management for injections. The injections didn't help, so I went to see Dr. Allende and very happy I did. After having an MRI he found why I was having the pain and we discussed surgery. He is a very caring, knowledgeable and professional doctor who treats you as a patient and not a number. He takes the time with you to discuss, explain and answer all questions. I am very happy my pain is gone. Excellent doctor!

I am so glad that I was referred to Dr. Allende, he takes his time with you, explains things in depth and actually shows you in your imaging exactly what is going on and the best treatment options. Dr. Allende is a perfectionist and does the best work.
His staff is very polite and caring. I usually am in and out very in a timely manner. I had been to a neurosurgeon several years ago and thought that one was good until I came to Dr. Allende and found Dr. Allende to be execellent.

Dr Allende is a true professional and I highly recommend his practice for your needs. He did my disc replacement in 2015 with no problems or issues. I am now working with him on back issues and have the same confidence level as before. I am located in SWFL and drive three hours to and from my appointments . I trust no one with my spine health other than Dr Allende.

He found a fracture from an ER visit 6 mths ago that went undiagnosed from Deland hospital, and two Orthopedist's. He reviewed the x-ray with me. He sent me for another MRI, and explained the results of the disc with me. He and his staff went out of their way for me, so that my insurance would cover my new back brace.

Dr. Allende was very personable. He explained images from my MRI thoroughly, in terms I could understand. He provided me with options, he made me feel like he was working with me to make a decision, not just talking at me.

One of the most respectful and kind doctors I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He actually listens to his patients instead of dismissing their thoughts and treats them with the empathy they deserve. I was so impressed I actually bragged to one of my daughter’s doctors and she happened to know his family for years, also being good friends with his wife. She told me they are good people in life and work. A hard characteristic to find in any doctor but especially in the field of neurology & surgery!

The office staff is very friendly and helpful. It is so nice to go to a doctor that truly cares about you and wants to know you first before he even discussed why I was there. Dr. Allende took time with me went over my mri’s frame by frame with me and explained every detail. . I have already had 2 back surgeries by him years ago and I actually changed my insurance just so I could go back to him now. I went to other doctors and just felt like a number. Would not trust anyone else.

Every visit is just wonderful. All of the staff, the nurses, nurse practitioner and Dr Allende are professional, courteous, friendly and caring. Unlike most doctor offices, they make you feel very comfortable, you can ask any questions and know, that you'll get an answer that you can understand and be very very comfortable with. I would recommend this practice to anyone who is in need of their particular expertise.

Dr. Allendale is the best doctor I've ever had. He takes the time to fully explain what your issue is and what he can do to correct it. His bedside manner is top notch and you feel secure in his care. I would fully recommend him to anyone who wants the best care you can get. Love this doctor and wish other doctors were as honest and able as he is.
