This is 100% the place to go to!! I’ve been here a few times and every single time the front desk staff & Dr. Allan are so friendly and helpful. I don’t usually write reviews but this place deserves it! Dr. Allan is very professional and knowledgeable. He explains everything along the way and makes the experience very comfortable. He listens to your concerns. The Allan Center truly changed my life by fixing the concern I had! From the consult all throughout the healing process, 5 stars for sure! I can’t recommend this place enough.

My experience with Dr. Allan and his team, from my consultation to my recovery period was nothing less than 5 star.He is kind, compassionate and professional and really puts you at ease with explaining and understanding the whole process.I have never had an actual surgery or even stitches in my life, so I was a little nervous.He is a specialist in this area and an extremely skilled Surgeon. He knows exactly what he is doing and I couldn't be happier with my results! You can't even tell that I had a procedure done it's flawless.I am so grateful that I took the time to research and met with Dr. Allan.

I went to see dr allan for a labiaplasty and from the consultation to the procedure itself was great. During the consultation I addressed my concerns about the procedure and we came up with a solution that would make me feel as comfortable as possible. I was pleased at how fast I was able to make an appointment for the surgery. The day of the surgery was great, I arrived on time and the nurses were ready for me. I want to say a special thanks to Brittany as she was an absolute delight to talk with and explaining things to me the whole way. I strong believe that It’s important to have a kind and compassionate nurse/team beside you during these surgery’s. if anyone is thinking of getting this done but is maybe afraid like I was, just know there’s an amazing group at dr Allans and they go out of their way to take great care of you. The procedure was practically pain free too.Very clean and modern facility.

I am extremely pleased with Dr Allan and his team. From the moment I met him, in tears I might add- he was comforting yet professional. Anything related to females and their insecurities is such a delicate topic and I felt at ease the entire time. Melissa was great, straight forward and felt like i was talking to an old girlfriend. She cheered me on and wiped my tears away.I had my surgery last Friday. The facility was clean and the nurses there were like no one I’ve ever met in my life. I was terrified, riddled with anxiety and they had a way of calming me through normal conversation and cracking jokes. Who would have thought I would be laughing preparing for a surgery. I was comfortable the entire time, Dr Allan explained what was happening throughout the entire surgery and it was over before I knew it.I have text him a few times to follow up on concerns, some of which I felt I knew the answer to but hearing his response somehow put me at ease. For a doctor to give you his cell phone number and to reply instantly both times, to me is amazing. I am sure I overreact and message him things I probably don’t need to, but he never makes me feel like I am a burden.Healing has been easier than I thought pain wise and I am extremely excited to see how everything looks once I am healed.If you have ANY insecurities, I highly recommend Dr. Allan and his team.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me get through my biggest insecurity.Ashley

The staff here is incredible. Melissa felt like my long-lost friend the entire time we were in contact on the phone, and she was also holding my hand while I had my minor surgery done. Such great energy! The office itself was warm and inviting and very clean.Dr. Allan was very professional and pleasant. He explained everything to me before the procedure was done and was very patient with my questions. Two weeks after my procedure I was feeling uncertain about how I was healing and I texted his cel phone with my concerns. He responded immediately and definitely put my mind at ease.After surgery they explained everything to me regarding the healing process, what I should and should not do, and they sent me home with medications, some supplies to help me heal better, and a little package with the doctor's cel number.Even my 6-week follow-up visit yesterday was a positive experience. Dr. Allan assured me that I was healing well and that if anything happened that made me concerend, I just need to call them and make an appointment to be seen.Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed and satisfied!😊

My experience surpassed expectations from the first contact, process appointments, procedure and aftercare. Dr. Allan and the staff (*especially Melissa) were discreet, understanding, readily available and sympathetic to my needs. I felt exceedingly comfortable the entire time and they were very easy to communicate with. I am thrilled with the results! Deepest gratitude and I would most certainly recommend the Allan Centre to women considering specialized procedures. Thank you kindly for a most positive experience and splendid outcome!

I was almost too nervous and self conscious to even make the initial call to the Allan Centre, but I'm so glad I did. Melissa made every step of the process as simple and comfortable as possible - it's clear that she cares deeply about improving women's lives, and is genuinely excited for her clients. Doctor Allan is a knowledgeable, friendly, and talented surgeon, and I highly recommend him. I'm so happy with my results.

I highly recommend to any women or mothers who are having any kind of incontinence issues to see Dr Allan. I went to the women's clinic for a couple years and was not getting the results I wanted. I went to see Dr Allan, was told my options, got booked in for surgery. It's now been a month since my surgery and when I went for my follow up today I asked the doctor if I could hug him. I feel like a grown woman again. It sucks there is so many women out there dealing with this, but there is a hero and his name is Dr Allan. He was amazing prior to surgery making me feel more comfortable, his staff was amazing as well. I am ecstatic I got this surgery!!

This clinic is amazing, from the first phone call to Mellissa getting me in within days, to the actual procedure itself. The nurses were incredible checking on me every minute and making sure that I was comfortable and had everything that I needed. They stayed beside me the entire procedure and made sure I was okay the entire time. The clinic was clean and organized, there was nothing out of place during the procedure. Dr. Allan was nothing short of amazing, he made sure everything was what i wanted before he started. I texted Dr. Allan many times during my recovery as i have a pre-existing condition. He responded by calling and following up with text messages within minutes, even on the weekends. He checked in daily with me after, he was calm, courteous and knowledgeable. The procedure itself was painless, completely numb feeling nothing, not even tugging. I would highly recommend this clinic and the staff.

My entire experience with the clinic was professional and amazing. Melissa was my first contact and talking to her on the phone was like chatting with my closest friend. She understood my concerns and insecurities, and made me feel super comfortable. I was traveling from out of town, and they went above and beyond .. working around my schedule and making me a priority.Dr. Allan made me feel very comfortable, and talked me through every option and step of the procedure. He’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and talented. I highly recommend him.

From my initial inquiry, through to post surgery the service and care was excellent at the Allan Centre. Dr. Allan and the staff were professional and made the experience comfortable and easy. Melissa from the office went above and beyond to make the whole process seamless and easy, ensuring everything was lined up perfectly with my flights coming in from out of province. Both Dr. Allan and Melissa have been diligent in following up post op and are quick to respond to any questions. Recovery has been smooth sailing with absolutely no pain. The very best health care experience.

I cannot say enough about the amazing treatment I received at the Allan Center! From my first contact with Melissa at the office, to booking my appointment, the surgery and in the aftercare; everything was exactly how I expected it to be. Absolutely first class and professional. My results were great. Let’s be honest, I did have discomfort and concerns afterwards; but Dr Allan made himself available to answer my questions and make me feel at ease. And as a result of the perioneoplasty, my sensation is greatly improved, and sex feels so much better!

I am so happy I found this clinic everyone made me feel extremely comfortable, when I went to other clinics I felt judged and not cared for. Dr Allan made this so simple and comforting, he did an amazing job I can’t belive how uncomplicated he made the process . Definitely happy to say the least.

My experience with the Allan Centre has been nothing short of absolutely remarkable. When it comes to dealing with the female human body - augmentation, repair and dedication to ease and detail by Dr Bruce Allan and his reputable staff are impeccable. The facilities are extremely well sanitized and maintained. Clean, vibrant and bright. The staff are non-judgemental, caring, empathetic and kind. Dr. Bruce Allan has a very soft mannered beside presence along with knowledgeable input and precise attention to your needs and YOU. He is also a great listener and takes all of your concerns into high consideration and literally removes them each step of the way.Whether you are considering labiaplasty as a cosmetic procedure, or to remove discomfort, or as a procedure to help you heal from the intangible experiences in your life; this medical team Will stand by your side with the upmost of professionalism and care that one should and could expect from a surgeon and his staff. The procedure is relatively quick, painless and I felt very relaxed and at ease. Throughout the procedure you are reassured, not only Dr Allan but 2 other nurses. You’re spoken to with compassion, you are asked about your comfort level and are given warm blankets should you need them. You are in extremely good hands, Dr. Bruce Allan and his staff are attentively eager to give you exactly what it is that you need. This is directly reflected in his work which is undoubtably the best I have ever seen in all of my experience.Dr. Bruce Allan makes himself readily available before surgery, during and immediately after and throughout the weeks of recovery.No question is a silly question. They’re all answered immediately and professionally. Overall, was one the best positive changes I have ever had the opportunity to make!To the Allan Centre:“I want you know that you have added to my life in immeasurable ways. I will always think of your benevolence; and speak of you all with kind words. I finally feel free to heal and to truly enjoy my body. Thank you all so much for all that you do and thank you for having such a positive impact on my life and I’m most certain, many others.”We are constantly making changes to our lives daily, whether it be cosmetic, medical, mental, emotional financial etc. let’s embrace each other and make them positive as the centre has done for me. #womenwhoempowerwomen #empoweroneanother #selfcare #selflove #labiaplasty #yourbodyyourchoice #postivestepforward #embraceyourbodyAnderson.
