Dr. Allen K Mcleod

Dr Allen Mcleod has to be the most unethical health professional in the entire Roanoke area. First, he will see you 2 times a year and instead of trying to save your teeth he will generally find 1 or 2 teeth that are 'hopeless' and in need of a root canal and crown aka big $$$$$$. His receptionist, Donna, is perhaps the most 'non people' person working in a customer facing position I have ever encountered. If all is right with the world she is 'okayish'. If you do one thing out of line... well remember that movie from the 70's with Jack Nicholson and the nurse? When I filed a complaint against him with the state.... something I pondered and did not take likely (and have never done in my entire life)..... it was taken very seriously. He was given several pieces of 'advice' by the Commonwealth after he had told them I had cancelled 3 appointments.... in 10 years... TWO of them were when my parents died suddenly 3 years apart. They lived in California. So this man used the death of my… parents against me. He also used the use of antibiotics for abscesses.... for these 'bad, hopeless teeth' as using 'antibiotics in excess' when he is the one that told me they were infected. Unethical, unethical and did I say unethical. What really opened my eyes was getting in with a *wonderful* dentist who is amazing at his job, cares about his patients and actually saved every one of my teeth, two at a time over the course of a year.

All visits uncomfortable. If you told or ask Allen Mcleod any questions or told him anything, he and his staff always seemed offended or rude with their responses. All 3 of us told him that we didn't so much numbing because it gave all three of us a side effect of feeling like we couldn't breath good. His reply was that we did and that is the way he did things, we needed that much numbing and to relax. I have been his patient for years and have never owed him a penny and always paid ahead of time, even weeks. A very uncomfortable setting. We all will be changing dentist and I noticed he doesn't have good ratings for a professional.
