health pros Gary Allen, M.D.

Gary Allen, MD, FACS, is board-certified and fellowship-trained in cardiothoracic surgery. As the medical director of cardiothoracic surgery, his expertise complements the extensive list of advanced diagnostics and life-saving treatments at the Florida Hospital Waterman Heart Center. Serving residents in West Central Florida and the surrounding communities, Dr. Allen and his dedicated staff offer a variety of treatments and services for patients with disorders of the lung, airway, heart, and great vessels. He is one of very few surgeons who performs “beating heart” surgery in the majority of his open-heart surgery cases, where the heart is not stopped, only slowed down with medication. This revolutionary technique is less invasive and much safer, decreasing the risk of kidney or liver complications. Along with Dr. Stanley, Dr. Allen is expanding his practice to the residents of Lady Lake and The Villages by seeing patients regularly at Florida Hospital’s new The Villages Center for Health.
