Dr. Terry Andrea Allen, MD

My experience here was horrible. This was my first yearly exam, and the doctor and nurse both began the appointment by laughing at my confusion regarding one portion of the procedure. Dr. Allen read my intake paperwork and made a decision about what the problem was before even speaking to me to assess my pain and experiences. The breast exam was performed with no explanation of the procedure. More upsettingly, the pap smear was performed without any explanation of the procedure and what it would entail. The lack of information regarding the procedure was incredibly distressing, and when I became visibly upset, both the doctor and nurse did nothing to address the situation. I received a brief apology at the end of my appointment ("I'm sorry that you're distressed"), but still no explanation of the pap smear. Additionally, Dr. Allen refused to give me a pelvic exam as she had deemed it unnecessary due to my intake paperwork. At no point did I have an opportunity to speak with Dr.… Allen about the concerns that brought me into her office, and when I attempted to start a conversation I was dismissed. I waited for about four months to see Dr. Allen- during which time I continued to have issues she did not address-, and she was in the room with me for less than 5 minutes. Both she and her nurse were incredibly rude and dismissive of my concerns for the duration of my visit. I am most upset by the lack of explanation I received for the procedures that were performed on me, and by the fact that the doctor only spoke to me while she was physically examining me, which meant I was not able to communicate as effectively as I would've liked. I would not recommend this practice to anyone. I have never been treated with so little dignity and respect by a medical professional.

So I met Dr Allen in 2005, she performed my first surgery then delivered our first child. we moved away. I'be been searching for someone like her but to no avail. I plan to travel to her 13 years later for a needed procedure. She's very knowledgable, has great bedside manner.

The Dr. explains things clearly; however, I waited 2 hours before I was finally attended to.

dr allen is great obgyn- she is not a dermatologist!

told me i did not need to call back when i was calling back about questions

I never experienced a such unfriendly staff. Very rude, as if you are doing them a favor by being in their office. Stay away from that practice, you won't regret it.

The office has been updated to make for a more comfortable and less clinical environment. I highly reccomend Dr. Allen.

Dr. Allen is a good, caring doctor. She spends time and listens to her patient and asks if you have any questions. As for her staff (one in particular...a receptionist) is rude.

Dr. Allen is very pleasant, knowledgeable and puts you at ease with her caring nature. I am glad to be her patient. I find some of her support staff to be a bit rude and one in particular who checks you out as you leave the appointment really makes you feel as though you are putting her out of her way and has a negative attitude.Office could use some sprucing up to make for a friendlier, happier environment.

was able to figure out first visit a problem that had evadedseveral other doctors
