Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A Fine Team Indeed
I’ve been Dr Allen’s patient since he arrived in Tallahassee, which was 2015 or 2016. Anyway, there’s not a better doctor nor assistants for a team than this group. I moved back to Ponte Vedra Beach in 2022 & tried a couple doctors in my area, but none met the standard to which I had grown accustomed. Dr Allen, his nursing group like the head nurse Kim, & the front desk are like a family. Now I drive 6 hours round trip when it’s checkup time & know I’ll get the attention a patient deserves.

He is Awesome!
It took about 5 months of waiting to get an appointment with Dr Allen as a new patient. But it worth the wait. Dr. Allen is very attentive, listens to all my issues and provides the most comprehensive treatment plan. Every time I leave the office I have no answered questions. The staff is always helpful, polite and accommodating… I consider myself lucky to be patient of Dr Allen.

He has a great sense of humor also

Personable and kind
He is one of the most personable and kind doctors I have had since moving from California. He will listen to what you have to say as long as you are honest. I appreciate his bluntness. The staff are kind as well and willing to help you as long as you are trying to help yourself.

Dr Allen is one of the last doctors left who take the time to talk to you and get to know you. You never feel rushed. His office is well run. Kim who has been there since the office opened adds to the great experience.

My husband and I are new to the Tallahassee area and were concerned about finding a primary doctor and staff, as great as the ones we had care for us from our hometown and we have. Dr. Allen and his staff are professional, kind and caring people. I am confident we have found the right place for all our health care needs.

Had a recent occasion to use the services of Doctor Brian Allen and was very pleased with the overall experience. The front desk receptionist was friendly, helpful and professional as was the nurse who took care of the preliminaries. I found Dr. Allen to be very friendly, professional And thorough. He took the time to listen to and answer all my questions.

My husband has been seeing Dr. Brian Allen for his physical for the past two years. I was initially pleased with him; as he is very nice. However after explaining my husband's family history during our last visit and how both of his parents had heart attacks before the age of 50, and his father had uncontrollable type 2 diabetes since his 40's and has since passed away; I do not believe he takes his patients health seriously. My husband; 50 in August has triglycerides of 780, fasting blood sugar of 180-200 and cholesterol over 240. Which Dr Allen had ordered bloodwork on. I explained to him that my husband's triglycerides were well over 400 back in 2012 & have only increased in spite of losing weight before. Dr. Allen had no issue with my husband's triglycerides being near 800 and offered no medications like metformin or a statins to my husband; who I am now trying to convince that he needs to work on his numbers; which he doesn't understand because his Dr. said everything was "fine".
