Dr. Allen is a board certified psychiatrist with added certification in Geriatric Psychiatry, Electro Convulsive Therapy,(ECT), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation,(TMS). A graduate of Montemorelos University, he completed his Residency and Geriatric Psych fellowship at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, now a part of the NorthWell Health system in New York. He has been associated with AdventHealth’s Center for Behavioral Health since 1997, serving as its Medical Director since 1998 and is currently the Section Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, Orlando campus. He stays busy with a full work schedule yet being a firm believer in giving back to the community, volunteers frequently and serves on a number of not-for profit boards, holds faculty positions at Florida State University, Nova Southeastern University, St. Matthews University, Kansas City University, and AdventHealth University where he is credited with developing the psychiatry curriculum for the Family Practice Geriatric fellowship program.
In his “free” time Dr. Allen tries to maintain a healthy active lifestyle. He has climbed Mt. Fuji in Japan, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and Volcan Baru, (the highest mountain in Panama). As an avid marathoner, he has completed numerous marathons and thereby has run one on each of the 7 continents over a 5-year period. In 2020 however, in an effort to bring awareness to the challenging needs in the area of mental health in the community, and in support of the Central Florida Mental Health Association, he completed the World Marathon Challenge race as a fundraising effort –7-marathons-in 7-days- on all 7 continents. When asked why? he harkens back to November 26th, 2008 when he and his family, by God’s grace alone, survived the Terrorist attack on the Taj Hotel in Mumbai India. Running then became a release valve. In completing 7-7-7 World Marathon Challenge for Mental health awareness he simply says, “the cause gave the courage” to complete it.
