Beyond the Practice

Outside of orthodontics, Dr. Allen enjoys playing guitar and studying music theory. He spends much of his time with his family, supporting his children’s interests, and taking walks with his wife and their retrievers. His most meaningful pursuits are raising his children and continuing to grow both as an orthodontist and a musician. 

In honor of Victoria Orthodontics' inaugural year, Dr. Allen will make a donation to the Lowry Nature Center at Carver Park Reserve, a favorite spot for Minnesota’s majestic Trumpeter swans.
