Dr. Damian Arthur Allen, MD

Beware of this doctor! My mother had the unfortunate event of having Damien Allen as a hospital Dr at St Benards June 2023. She went in ER for pain shooting down her left arm, chest pressure, neck pain, shortness of breath. I thought this was common knowledge of a heart attack, Damien Allen thought other wise. He said you arm can hurt for other reasons, yes but with the other symptoms we were worried. I told him we googled heart attack symptoms to be sure. He said Google will tell you anything. He proceeded to take her off her heart, anxiety, and pain medications she had been on for years without consulting her prescribing doctor. Also put her on a smoking patch she had a severe allergic reaction to and 5 months later she is still dealing with the reaction from it. He has a very poor bedside manner, doesn’t listen to patient, and doesn’t care about anyone’s opinion except his. I would give negative stars if possible.
