Do not by any means visit this doctor. Will diagnose you incorrectly and brush your symptoms off.

My husband and I have both seen Dr. Allen and have been very satisfied. He took immediate and appropriate action, when my husband had a significant health problem that he was not even aware he had. I have had no problems with appointments, timeliness or the staff. I think Dr. Allen will become an even better doctor as he matures in his profession. We are totally satisfied with his care.

Receptionists are rude and uncooperative. Limited availability to schedule appointments. Not impressed and will not be returning.

My husband and i had a visit today and have been very desperate for help but it just felt like we were cattle and he wanted to move us out just as fast as we came...there was definitely a lack of bedside manner.
