My girlfriend is currently seeing Valarie Mathis-Allen. The problem is she’s falsifying records. She said she talked to me and I had concerns about her coming home in a court order. I have never talked to that woman. She needs to be investigated for falsifying medical records. She is a liar and extremely negligent.

This woman filed paperwork against me in court that was so misleading it was mostly fraudulent. Filled with half truths, outright misrepresentations, ignoring contrary evidence it nearly cost me my life because I was forcibly drugged. She needs to have her license revoked.

Valerie is a poor excuse of a doctor. She is condescending, vindictive and overall has poor bedside manners. The people she deals with need her help, but all she tends to do is make things worse for them.

Dr. Mathis-Allen isn't capable of treating any human and shouldn't be allowed to practice anywhere within the borders of the United States. This doctor is capable of really hurting a patient for life. I wouldn't allow my dog to see Dr. Mathis-Allen.I was terribly diagnose with a 'mental condition' by her and I actually had a serious heart condition where I could have died. BEWARE OF V.E. Mathis-Allen as a doctor!

This doctor needs to practice ONLY in a German concentration camp! She has no business treating humans. She should not be allowed to practice in Michigan or anywhere within the United States. She is a danger to her patients!

I had the misfortune to be assigned to Dr. Mathis-Allen 2 years ago after an attempted suicide due to PTSD. I am still dealing with the aftermath of this doctor's incompetency and sheer vicious attitude. I was not the only patient at that time who what abused by her. One patient suffering from post partum depression was told that she should give her babies away if she couldn't simply "get over it". I no longer am troubled by the painful divorce trauma I went through, but I am still dealing with the resulting despair and pain caused by a doctor that should have HELPED me. I simply hate her.
