Dr. Benjamin J Allen, MD

Dr Allen is very arrogant. I constantly have to remind him what procedure he did on me. He comes in talking at me and I have to stop him and say nooo that’s not what you did to me, it was this. When I told him I was in a lot of pain he asked why my pain pills weren’t working (probably because he wrote the dose as if for a child) and then proceeded to ask me if I sat home and did meth and heroin all day. He won’t even glance at my chart or my work requirements or my notes. I don’t feel like my answers were adequately answered (why does my knee still hurt? Well it’s because I did this procedure on you. Ummm no you didn’t, you did this procedure. Ok well then it’s because you’re not trying hard enough to stretch and succeed in physical therapy.) I’m sorry but this doc is a nightmare, I get terrible anxiety before every appt, just knowing what he’s like and what I’m going to have to deal with. He also kept telling me that “since I wasn’t an athlete” whatever way we repaired my joint would… be fine. I’m sorry bro just because I’m not an athlete doesn’t mean I don’t live an active life and deserve your best work. Never ever again.

Dr Allen was phenomenal. I had a really bad knee injury that I had been living with (unfixed) for at least 8 years. After seeing him once I was advised I needed surgery to fix the issues, within one month I had an mri, pre-op appointment and was scheduled for surgery. That time frame was phenomenal considering it wasn’t urgent. Before surgery he checked in with me and reexplained everything that was going to happen and before you know it I was awake and learning to use my crutches. I healed very nicely and now I’m doing things I haven’t been able to do in 8 years, or ever (I’m 26 years old). I highly recommend him and his staff and Bingham in general!
