BEWARE!! You do not want to see this doctor. He is ONLY in the health care industry in order to over bill insurance companies. I was referred to this practitioner and when I checked his credentials I didn't find any board actions. I called to make an appointment and let his office know that I was a cash patient with no insurance and was looking for a specific type of doctor. I was never told that he does not write refills, but rather forces his patients to come into his office every month, which for a cash patient is initially $220 and then $150 every subsequent  month. He charges ridiculous fees too. He charges a $25 fee if you are more than SEVEN (7) minutes late to appointment and then they cancel the appointment and make you reschedule. This while I waited in his waiting room for almost 2 hours before I was taken back to a room and then waited another 30 minutes. They also charge a $50 fee to fill out paperwork that may be required by an insurance company, if it's more than 2 pages long!! Another Yelper wrote that she liked the tablet computers you use to do your paperwork on, but she perhaps didn't notice the additional fees they charge you to have digital paperwork/files. He refused to help me with the initial cost of the visit and told me he NEVER works with his patients if they cannot afford to see him. Apparently they would prefer to lose patients rather than help them out. Also when I called to make an initial appointment I was never told the doctor does not confer with other doctors, such as your prior doctor, and never writes refills. He also refuses to give patients additional medication if they run out over a weekend and can't get in to see him before they run out. Had I known about all this beforehand I would never have made an initial appointment. When I told that to the girl on the phone, she insisted that only two people make these types of appointments and they always tell the patients this. NOT!! Save yourself some serious hassles and stay away from this guy!! I've never seen a provider that refused to help out his patients monetarily if they are in a bind and really need help. I've never seen a provider that refused to speak with my old doctor in order to get additional information about me. And I've never seen a provider that refused to write refills and forced his patients to see him every month instead. Seriously, who does this? Oh yeah, Dr. Allen does!! Not to mention that not more than two (2) weeks after seeing this doctor I got very sick and found out I had gallstones and needed to have my gallbladder removed, but for some reason Dr. Allen MISSED this diagnosis. Hmmmm..not surprised.
