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.

Just avoid. Save your time.
I've never seen so many add on services at a doctors office. Bill bill bill. And forget getting a refill on a prescription. Need another visit for that. So you will always run out and then need to reintroduce the substance to your body. Any licensed doctor should know that's not a very effective treatment plan. But it's about billing here. Office staff is atrocious. 3 times Walmart called them for the last refill. Denied. Did they notify their patient? Of course not. Ryan Allen wasn't bad, but he is solely responsible for running is office properly. State licensing board complaint filed today. Enjoy the paperwork. Now I waste time like you did to me. My wife received a bill for some anti aging service not covered by the insurance. $140. Of course there's no up front estimate or explanation of additional charges.

He and his staff are great!
Dr. Allen has been great. Takes time to explain conditions and go over various medications that can help. He's easy to talk to and you won't feel apprehensive going over any issues you're having. He's very personable. The staff is also great and they always try to find me an appointment. I do recommend!

I usd to have him as my primary doctor and I must say I wish that I didn’t switch insurance and was able to keep him. I am definitely going to see if I can get him again since I now have Cigna insurance again. He has been the best doctor I have had the opportunity to receive care from hands down. Very thorough and educated!

He's not accepting new patients. In fact, I was dropped without any type of notice because I hadn't scheduled an appointment in 3 years -- and since I'm now considered a "new patient" I can't get in to see him! Very Unprofessional, in my opinion, not to at least give me a call or send a reminder to schedule an appointment.

I saw years ago he is egotistical. But he did really help me. Now, after the way he treated my wife, and we caught him lying and berated us verbally . If I had a recorder it would have caught him saying. All he wants to do is walk in and hand over the prescription and walk back out. I literally could not believe what we had just been told.

Dr. Allen has been my physician for four years and the only one who really cares about my health. I have tummy troubles which causes me to visit Dr. Allen more frequently. He listens to me, gives me the best medical tests to find the cause of my problem and follows up on my treatment. He has a sincere and caring bed side manner you will not find any other Doctor like that. Dr. Allen is top notch and I'm so lucky to have him care for me as a Doctor. This is the best Doctor ! I give him 5 stars .

I would not recommend him to anyone. He patronizes his patients and refuses referrals to specialist because he believes that he has already figured out the best course of action. He missed a break in a patients knee because he passed off her pain as her being old, and making something out of nothing. She walked on it for weeks before he let her get x-rays. He is currently forbidding his MA from submitting a referral to a wound care specialist and she is about to lose her foot.
