After returning home, he met his bride, Melissa, and they were married in 1997. Dr. Allen attended Portland State University and graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in General Science. He then moved across the country and attended Tufts University of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA, graduating with his Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2009. Dr. Allen currently serves on the La Pine Advisory Group Board which aims to resolve our local health issues while working to bridge La Pine’s dental, medical and mental health community. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Oregon Dental Association and Central Oregon Dental Association. Dr. Allen and Melissa’s greatest joy are their two children, Michael and Megan.
