I’m beyond grateful to of found such a great doctor! He is very thorough and spends a great deal of time not only treating me medically, but also on a personal level. This has made for a more comfortable patient/doctor relationship - In the past I have found myself holding back when seeing other doctors but that’s not the case with Dr. Allen. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of choosing Dr. Allen as my PCP.

I finally found a doctor after moving here a couple of years ago and was looking forward to seeing someone who appeared to be a great doctor. Dr. Allen is extremely condescending when you try to explain what is bothering you and cares more about talking about himself than helping you. He was answering text messages during my appointment, and when showing me an weight management app (one I already told him I had) he proceeded to take the time to enter everything he had eaten and/or done that day while I sat and waited for him to finish. I took my lunch break to go get a quick check up/physical and ended up being away from the office for almost 3 hours. When I said I was suffering from moderate depression ( telling him I know it's because I'm just stressed about a few things right now) he immediately prescribed me anti-depressants but didn't tell me what it was he was prescribing me until I finally stopped him after the 3rd time of him saying "we will up your dosage next time you come in" to ask him "what are you prescribing me?"..." oh its just like a pick me up.. kind of..its an anti-depressant." I chose not to take them. To top it off when I finally got my blood work results back I noticed they had my wrong personal information including my birthday wrong. Needless to say I am back on the hunt for a new doctor, and I am extremely disappointed with my experience with someone who appeared to have good reviews.
