About Me

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.

I chose David Allen, DO because he was the provider to both of my parents, and I've always respected his professionalism and friendly "bedside" manner. It also helps that he knows my family history personally so that he is not dismissive of my concerns like the first cardiologist that I saw from St. Luke's.

04/24/2024
My Dr. Allen is always there to answer my questions, he always tells me how I am doing. He goes over my records to see if I need Blood work, or if I need any further testing now. I see Dr. Allen every six months or if I would have any situation happen that I would need him, he always said to contact him to get in to see him before. I have much faith in Dr, Allen and St. Luke's Hospital I always get and have received the best care.

04/15/2024
Always the same. Goes over your condition and tells you what you need to do such as going back to a drug I was on and nottake the one that was given to me to replace It plus set us up for a echo cardiagram .He reminds me of the doctors I saw years ago who always made you feel like coming to see him. We travel 40 miles one way and It's worth It.

Check in was very easy. I was very quickly brought back with a nurse and completed blood pressure and medical history. Dr Allen was in as soon as she was done ..I was so impressed that Dr Allen had already reviewed my chart and history before coming in and was ready to discuss my condition .He said he was going over my history 2 days before my visit. He had already given my case thought and attention before I even got there. Dr Allen explained things to me in a way I easily understood and very patiently answered all my questions. I had issues with a first medicine prescribed and he himself immediately got back to me by phone to talk about what was going on . He then called a new prescription into my pharmacy and within 45 minutes from the time Dr Alan and I spoke on the phone..my prescription was ready for pickup. Although I am nervous about my condition I feel I am in the best hands with Dr Allen .Nurse Bonnie was also very helpful in answering my questions on phone calls to the office. I'm very confident I will get the best care needed here.
