About Us
At Allen Veterinary Hospital, we are dedicated to providing top-quality veterinary care for your beloved pets. Founded in January 1986 by Dr. Mike Overton, our hospital has been a trusted part of the Allen, Texas community for over three decades. In 2010, after 16 years of service, Dr. Alan Coffman took over the practice, continuing the legacy of exceptional pet care that Dr. Overton established.
Our team is committed to delivering the best possible care in a welcoming and state-of-the-art facility. We specialize in small animal medicine and surgery, including soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, dental work, radiology, and in-house laboratory services. Our comprehensive services also include new puppy and kitten exams, geriatric evaluations, and yearly examinations with immunizations.
We understand the importance of keeping your pet's teeth clean and healthy, which is why we recommend annual dental cleanings to prevent tooth decay. Just like humans, pets can lose teeth if their oral health isn't properly cared for. To ensure we provide the most effective care, we recommend keeping a simple health journal for your pet, including details of vet visits, vaccinations, and any changes in behavior or diet.
At Allen Veterinary Hospital, we strive to make both you and your pet feel comfortable. Our qualified staff is caring, patient, and happy to explain everything clearly. If your pet ever needs a procedure that requires anesthesia, such as dental cleanings or surgery, you can rest assured that they are in good hands. For some pets, especially the very young, old, or ill, we may recommend additional tests like X-rays or lab work to ensure everything goes smoothly.
We are proud to have earned the People's Choice Award for Best Veterinary Practice in Collin County for eight consecutive years, with two additional years as first runner-up. Dr. Alan Coffman was also honored with the prestigious W.R. Bilderback, DVM Award by the Texas Animal Control Association for his outstanding contributions to the animal control profession in Texas.
In addition to our commitment to exceptional pet care, we are proud supporters of the local community. We sponsor various local events and teams, including the Allen Eagles High School and the Allen Americans hockey team, multiple-time Presidents Cup and Kelly Cup champions.
At Allen Veterinary Hospital, we treat your pets like the cherished family members they truly are. Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional care that ensures your pet's health and happiness. We look forward to welcoming you and your pet to our facility and continuing to serve the Allen community with the same hometown care that has made us a trusted name for over 30 years.
