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.

Women’s health whisperer!
Dr. Tara Allmen is an exceptional doctor. She cares about her patients well beyond her specific practice as an OB/GYN. She is an expert in womens health, really all aspects of health and well being. She always offered helpful actionable guidance whenever I’ve expressed concerns. Lastly she is very generous with her time. On many occasions, she will often call return calls during her personal time (which is above and beyond many other physicians in my experience.)

If in good health, go, if not, do not
She was my doctor for 4 years. I had to get a new doctor when i actually got sick. She isn’t into illness, questions, labs, diagnostics, or treatment of illness. Don’t waste your time.

Dr. Allmen is awesome
I've seen Dr. Allmen three times now, and she is great. I can be shy to bring things up, but she makes it very easy, and deals with anything I throw at her. I cannot recommend her enough!

Highly Recommend Dr. Tara Allmen, Gynocologist NYC
I have been a patient of Dr. Allmen's for over ten years. I was referred to Dr. Allmen by my longtime OGBYN when I started my menopausal journey. Dr. Allmen not only educated me on the intricacies of menopause, but she also got me though a very difficult time during this inevitable life transition. Dr. Allmen's examinations were thorough. Dr. Allmen was attentive, insightful, available, knowledgeable, caring and a great listener. Dr. Allmen gave me several different therapeutic options to navigate my transition, which is different for every woman. Together we determined my individual course of action and within days I felt at ease and more physically and mentally stable. After years of being a loyal patient and being in great gynecological health, Dr. Allmen just moved to a beautiful new office at 1056 Fifth Avenue in NYC. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Dr. Allmen & if you can’t get to NYC, she is the author of the highly acclaimed book: “Menopause Confidential”

Something's Changed!
I have been a patient of Dr. Allmen since 2016 and she was very helpful, at first, with peri-menopausal symptoms. However, lately (since her move to 5th Avenue?) she's been quick to dismiss my questions and concerns--and with an arrogance that is quite disturbing. I highly recommend consulting with a NAMS-certified gynecologist. Just not this one.

Dr. Allmen is a highly competent doctor. She works from a comprehensive, research-based model with an approach that is warm and humorous. Dr. Allmen is very responsive to my communication and follows-up immediately with pending issues (i.e., prescriptions for diagnostic testing, various referrals, testing results). I've been her patient for three years and plan to remain so!

I have been seeing Dr. Allmen for almost four years now. She is always professional and extremely knowledgeable about women's midlife experiences. She is very easy to talk to about private subjects and she injects humor into the conversation making it less uncomfortable. Her exams are thorough and gentle which I appreciate. She listens and helps sort out my chronic health issues so I feel very confident that I am in good hands in her care!

I reached out to Dr. Allmen during the pandemic when my doctor of 40 years retired. I never expected such a smooth and easy transition. She is warm, welcoming and extremely smart. Dr. Allmen has a beautiful and immaculate office, there's no wait time, and she is attentive to all of your needs. She takes plenty of time to listen, she's funny and totally understands the uncomfortable dynamic of a women who is experiencing the harsh symptoms of menopause. Her book Menopause Confidential is a must read. It covers everything you need to know about your changing body. I highly recommend Dr. Allmen!

Dr. Allmen is incredibly compassionate and thorough. She came highly recommended by a world renowned bone metabolic specialist. I had early onset osteoporosis. Dr. Allmen has attended to my bone health needs as well as my midlife needs. I live in New Jersey but drive to NYC to get my once annual visit with Dr. Allmen. She is worth the trip.

Dr. Allmen is probably one of the leading experts in the field of menopause and how is affects women. She has a great personality and she is quick witted and that makes it easy to discuss some of the more embarrassing and emotional aspects of being premenopausal or in menopause. Like a lot of women who live In the suburbs I have been to very good physicians, but they aren’t as versed on this topic. So my advice is she is worth the trip. She is extremely responsive to getting back to you. She is easy to arrange an appointment with. She doesn’t Keep you waiting. She wrote a book, it’s on Amazon and you will understand how she makes this relatable and a normal journey .You leave her office feeling renewed and hopeful that you can enjoy your active life.

Dr. Tara Allmen is a knowledgeable physician whom I highly recommend. A patient of Dr. Allmen for four years, I could not be happier. I first discovered Dr. Allmen when exploring the possibility of beginning HRT as I was in the early stages of menopause and was experiencing the associated side effects. Dr. Allmen who is an expert in this phase of life, was able to answer my questions and assist me in making the right decisions as I navigated this uncertain time. From the beginning of our work together, I have found Dr. Allmen to be prompt, responsive and thorough. I have never had to wait in her office, and she spends a generous amount of time with me each visit. Dr. Allmen is up-beat, positive and pro-active. Her intelligence and sense of humor make our time together a pleasure. She has opened a new office which is lovely, comfortable and spacious. Office staff is pleasant and helpful. I could not ask for more.
