I was Dr, Allen's patient for close to 30 years. He was the best doctor I ever had on all levels! I sincerely miss him.

Dr. Allen was my physician for approximately 30 years. I just found out he has retired, and I am concerned about finding another family doctor as good as he was--the best doctor I've ever had. He spent time answering all my questions and never tried to hurry me along. The few times my family needed to use specialists, he paved the way for us to see very fine doctors. His staff was also great, as well.

I was treated so poorly by the office personal. Very RUDE and people who work here! I would never go back into this office. I have been a signed to his office since Apirl, just because you never get sick DOES NOT make you a NEW! My insurance spoke with Virgina 4 mos ago the moved us over to his office. We tryed to make appoints but couldn't get in, maybe because they don't even answer their phone till 10:30 am, they close 2 hours for lunch and close at 5pm. Save yourself for this very ruse office, dont ever go!

Truth is Dr. Allen was once a wonderful and competent physician. Sadly, he has continued long past the time when he should have retired. He has become quite stubborn and opinionated and is not the pleasant man he once was. I do question his competency at 84 years old ...

I don't worry about getting sick, because I have a good doctor and Dr Allen will take good care of me, he actually listens to his patients. His staff is great too.

He's kind and considerate, I always wonder whether Docors really do. Scheduling patients every ten mnutes or so..leaves very little time to UPDATE is the way I read it..It should be manditory for all Doctors to spend a day a month..updating their knowledge base. Doc Allen says he stays current enough with the latest findings. He claims he meets regulary to stay current. He's Older but knowledgeable.

Dr. Allen is a consumate professional. He is so sharp and has a very calm demeanor. Although Dr. Allen is a senior he keeps up on all the latest medical breakthroughs, etc. Dr. Allen is careful and deliberate when it comes to your care. Again I feel very fortunate he is my doctor.

Dr Allen knew right away what the cause of my two month long cough was and my visit with him was very pleasant ; I immediately felt comfortable in knowing that he is very experienced and knowledgeable.
