Health Night Out presents Dr. Larissa Allen, Gastroenterologist on April 23 at 7:00 p.m.
Between 25–40 percent of Americans of all ages suffer from acid reflux and 20 percent suffer from a more severe form commonly called GERD. Why do so many people experience these agitating, often persistent, symptoms of indigestion? When should you seek medical treatment? Health Night Out will address these issues and answer your questions.
Dr. Larissa Allen is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. At April’s Health Night Out, she will focus on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Dr. Larissa Allen was raised in Tucson and received her undergraduate degree from Illinois State University where she graduated Cum Laude and also completed a four-year collegiate tennis career.
After returning to Tucson, she graduated from medical school in 2008, subsequently completing her Internal Medicine Residency and Gastroenterology Fellowship at the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine. She is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.
Her specialty areas of interest are GERD, esophageal motility disorders and colorectal cancer prevention. She is dedicated to the Tucson community where she lives with her husband and three children.
