Dr. Bruce Allan started the Allan Centre in 2001 with a vision of a friendly and supportive clinic focused on women’s health and wellness. It was important for him to create a place where women could feel comfortable, heard, receive proper education and be fully involved with decisions regarding their gynecologic and sexual health and wellness.
Many of the patients who visit us don’t realize all of the services we have to offer inside these walls! Our knowledge and treatments cover medical, cosmetic and sexual health, so that we can meet each woman’s individual needs.
The Allan Centre has:
3 physicians
Dr. Bruce Allan PhD, MD, FRCS(C) offers care in the areas of medical gynecology, cosmetic gynecology and sexual health.
Commonly performed cosmetic procedures include the cosmetic laser labioplasty, cosmetic laser vaginoplasty, clitoral hood reduction and non-surgical treatments for vaginal laxity and improving sexual sensation.
Dr. Allan also offers medical investigation and treatment for women who experience low libido and difficulty with orgasm.
Dr. Heather Edwards PhD, MD, FRCS(C) has been at the Allan Centre since 2008, and offers obstetrical and medical gynecology care to her patients. Dr. Edwards delivers and operates out of the Rockyview General Hospital
Dr. Jocelyn Donnelly BMSc, MD, FRCS(C) has been at the Allan Centre since 2006, and offers obstetrical and medical gynecology care to her patients. Dr. Donnelly delivers and operates out of the Rockyview General Hospital
Our physicians routinely perform gynecological surgical procedures as well as offer treatment options for conditions such as menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding), urinary incontinence, vaginal atrophy, pelvic pain, fibroids, pelvic prolapse and other obstetrical and gynecologic conditions. For check-ups during your pregnancy our physicians typically take over obstetrical care around 26 weeks.
In order to be seen by one of our physicians for obstetrical care, medical gynecology or sexual health we require a referral from your family doctor or a walk in clinic. Cosmetic gynecology patients do not need a referral and can contact us directly.

Merle Morton B.Sc P.T. of the Canadian Continence Clinic has been practicing for decades. Merle specializes in pelvic floor physiotherapy, and offers treatment focused on pelvic pain, bladder and bowel function, pregnancy and post-mastectomy.
