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.

By far the best psychiatrist/addiction management specialist in this area. Dr Allen & his staff go above & beyond to make sure their patients are cared for appropriately. They do whatever it takes for their patients. They write letters to insurance companies to get authorization for meds. They’ll write letters for disability when appropriate. I’ve been a patient of their for at least 10 years & I won’t see anyone else!

Dr. Allen is the best psychiatrist I have ever been to and believe me ive been to a lot! He is very professional and thorough and most importantly he takes time with his patients. He explains everything in detail and has a warm and friendly attitude. You can tell he really genuinely cares for his patients. I would recommend him to anyone especially for addiction problems. He just spent almost an hour and half with me and cut into his lunch hour because he cares.

DR. Robert Allen is the most skilled individual in the addiction field I've ever encountered, i had been using various street drugs since i was a teen, which in turn cause some damage to my brain, eventually getting hooked real bad on meth i was refer to Dr Allen by my treating phyc at the time, who no longer thought he was able to care for my advance stages of psychosis associate with my meth use. well in 2 weeks i will be 3 years sober , without him i would be dead already

I have been seeing Dr. Allan for about 3 years now and he and his staff have been nothing less than professional, nurturing and kind. Yes, the price of seeing him is not cheap (especially to get started) but when I consider the doctoring that I have had in the past - the way I was misdiagnosed and given the wrong medications many times - the price is so worth it! These people actually listen to what you are saying and give exceptional advice and care.

I was lucky enough to be associated with the practice before Dr. Allen arrived, and when he arrived, it got even better. Dr. Allen and staff go over the top to make sure I'm cared for in a way that makes their office a safe, secure and responsible place for me. Treatment goals & decisions are mutually made, and on the few times I've needed urgent care with them I was seen close to immediately. I know they're there because of their dedication to their patients and love what they do. AWESOME!

Dr Allen is both professional and compassionate. He takes the time to listen and discuss different solutions to problems using the best treatment method. He is not one to tell you what you want to hear, and prescribe some drug you think you need. Be honest with him and he will treat you with the same respect and honesty. In the same fashion, his nurse Cathy, and all staff, have the same traits. In a world where healthcare has become such a business, they have maintained quality relationships.

I had a negative experience during my short time here and should of probably reported a HIPAA violation with regards to my experience with Dr.Allen and how his office handled my case, but thanks to the transparency of the internet, I simply recommend finding a more trustworthy and professional office.

Dr. Allen is very professional and caring. He takes the time to listen and explains recommended treatments/ medications in a complete and patient manner. He gives serious consideration to patient concerns. He was accepting of my choice to sometimes treat my psychiatric conditions with alternate medicine choices. He encourages an attitude that the whole person must be treated and treatment is more than medication-it is lifestyle choices.
