Dr. Douglas Allen DO

I feel fortunate to have been guided to Dr. Allen. The previous Pain Management physician, was not giving of his time, nor did he offer me any options beside pills. Dr. Allen, has provided options, time, and information.

Dr. Allen is very knowledgeable and pragmatic. For my herniated disk, he recommended a conservative course of treatment (i.e. PT) rather than some crazy drugs or surgery. This is keeping in line with most of the research that I've read personally. The PT that he referred me to is excellent.

Dr. Allen was nothing short of perfect in my first ever visit with him. I was seen on time and then given all the time I needed to re-count all of my prior surgeries/medical history and carefully lay out the treatment I was I need of. Dr. Allen asked many questions and clarified all points before making his recommendation on how to best treat my severe chronic pain. I was 100% satisfied and look forward to my follow up appointment. One additional major plus is that Dr. Allen's practice offers too notch physical therapy on site so I can be monitored in progress by my pain management physician!

absolutely fabulous doctor. he is kind, understanding, personable and treats you as a person more than a patient. one of the best doctors I've ever had.

Dr Allen is a pleasure to work with - which is a great plus when dealing with chronic pain. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Allen was excellent! He listened to my concerns and got me set up with and MRI and physical therapy right away!

Dr Allen is very professional and caring, easy to talk to and kind. I highly recommend him.

He informed me well and he also listened well.

Dr. Allen was very attentive in my initial consultation. He sent me for an MRI, which I completed 7 days ago and which showed two herniated discs. Nonetheless, I have not heard from him nor been able to reach anyone in his office.

I have been treated very well and I solved my pain problem.

Dr. Allen was great, efficient and actually listened to what I had to say... highly recommend to anyone with back problems, etc.

Very knowledgeable in his field!

I have had a great experience working with Dr. Allen. He has provided excellent results for my lower back pain. I would highly recommend him.

Dr.Allen is the man of the hour, a fantastic doctor and an outstanding person. Never in a hurry, takes his time and listen to every concern you have.

Very educational and informative.

I found him to be very consultative, he took time to answer my questions and I am hopeful that the treatment he is reccomending is effective for me!

he was alright, I prob wouldnt reccomend him to anyone though

Exceptional patient care, highly accomodating, and speediness of results is how I'd describe my visit. My visit to Dr. Allen could not have gone better. First of all, let me say that I usually do not go out of my way to write reviews. However, I felt that this one really is necessary because of the quality of my visit with Dr. Allen. I booked my appointment only the night before and he was able to accomodate me. Additionall, I ended up being 15 minutes late to my appointment but Dr. Allen and his staff were extremely patient even though I was the last appointment of the day. Dr. Allen is one of the most friendly, personable doctors I have had. He listened very closely to the conditions I was experiencing and my background and then clearly articulated what he thought could be causing my lower back pain. He suggested it was best I get an MRI asap. To top the visit off, Dr. Allen personally called a nearby MRI center and asked for a personal favor so that I could have the MRI that night. I have rarely experienced such exceptional care and personal service. Given the severity of my condition and the anxiety that comes with having back pain, I am so grateful to have visited Dr. Allen. Tomorrow he will receive my MRI results, will call me directly to discuss, and I will know my diagnosis.

Dr. Allen was very detailed on explaining my MRI report and gave me several options regarding surgery and physical therapy- I was able to get an appointment the same day I called, and my wait time was only 2 minutes - I highly recommend Dr. Allen to anyone with chronic pain looking for answers and relief-

I highly recommend Dr. Allen. He clearly knows what he is talking about and communicates it very well to non-medical people like me. He also doesn't talk AT me, which is a skill that many doctors seem to lose, (or forget.)

Dr. Allen is very attentive, he sits and listens to his patient, examines them and give treatment as necessary. His staff is wonderful and I am truly glad that I found him. He shows that he cares.

Didn't pressure me into tests he thought were unnecessary but was very open about the usual protocol of order of tests insurance companies approve in. Great experience

Was great about looking into my issue with a no-fuss attitude and trying to avoid having x-rays or other treatment done for a problem that will most probably heal by itself.

Mr. Allen was patient and listened carefully to what I had to say. Mr.Allen was professional and gave a lot of advice on to to treat my ailment. The Executive Assistant Alex was pleasant and courteous as well!

positive

Very great consultation, was brief but to the point. Was hesitant to prescribe narcotic medications on the first visit, which I admire.

I was very impressed with all aspects of this office experience, from the cordial front desk, who checked to be sure my insurance was accepted to my experience with this doctor. The exam was prompt, thorough, and we had an excellent discussion about treatment options. I would highly recommend this practice, and look forward to working with this physician.

I thought Dr. Allen was extremely professional and helpful. He is more interested in getting to the root of the problem rather than just masking the situation with meds like other doctors I've seen.

I was pleased with the visit and would recommend him to friends and family

Great guy, very knowledgeable -- knows the big words but also how to bring them down to non-doctor level for us simpletons. Explained my knee problems with a model and discussed my questions at length. Feel like I'm now on the right track to recovery

This doctor hasn't helped me at all.

The provider was great very informative. However reaching him is horrible. I have called his office back to back left messages and no one has gotten back to me.I am so shocked and I am very annoyed. the provider was great but the staff has poor management skills they dont pick up the phone.
