ALLEN LATRICE MD FACOG

I really love Dr. Allen as a person and as a doctor, but there are 2 issues that just can’t be overlooked. The first issue is her staff. They’re so rude. The front desk rep is always in a nasty mood. At first I thought I might have caught her on a bad day, but she’s always curt and rude. Dr. Allen’s nurse has moments when she can be nice, but she’s always making excuses for my second issue. Dr. Allen is ALWAYS running behind schedule. I’m currently sitting in her office, and my appointment was at 4:30. I arrived at 4:20 and it’s 5:29 and I have yet to be called. There is always a long wait. I have never come to her office and not sat in the waiting room for at least 30 minutes. My time is just as precious as the doctor’s, and it should be respected. I’ve tried scheduling appointments first thing in the morning, right after lunch and on different days of the week and it never fails that I sit and wait.
I had a surgical procedure and came in for a follow up. I was a couple of weeks after my procedure, and still in a great deal of pain. I had waited 45 minutes to see the doctor and finally went to the front desk rep to find out what was going on, and she rudely asked me if I wanted to reschedule my appointment. I told her, of course not! I want to see the doctor… now. I’m in pain and have sat forever and don’t want to come back to sit again.
This will be my last time coming here. There are way too many options to be disrespected this way.

She seems like a great doctor. But I went in for a annual and discussed some issues. I was billed for my annual and for asking a question. I have never had that happen. If you want to pay for each question asked and have a lot of money…

If you want to wait an hour to see the doctor every time you have an appointment then see Dr. Allen! The worst customer service from the girls at the front desk. They have terrible attitudes and do not care about your wait time at all! Never again!

Dr Allen delivered me when I had twins in 2008, I found her great. However, I tried to get a appointment today with Dr Allen and the lady on the phone was so unhelpful, she told me there were no appointments (Dr Allen was on vacation, but only for a week). When I told her I’d go somewhere else, she then offered me an appointment in 6 weeks time! I told her I’d go else where, to which she replied ‘okay’. Way to go to lose business. I’ve referred many people to this office, I won’t be anymore. The office staff are as important as the Dr in my opinion, rude unhelpful staff makes it an overall unpleasant experience, no matter great the Dr is. Very disappointing, I’d be really annoyed if my staff treated my clients in this matter. My Dentist office will go out of their way to get people appointments, they’ll call me if there are cancellations and they’re really accommodating and professional, hence why I’ve been going there for 10 years. Maybe the staff at this office should be sent for training there.

Dr. Allen has been taking care of me during this pregnancy and she is so easy to talk to and interact with. Nothing but good things to say.

Dr. Allen has delivered 4 of my 5 daughters and she is absolutely amazing! Beside manner is awesome, she takes her time and is sure to answer all questions. Her staff is very patient and kind as well. I highly recommend her!

I like DR Allen as a person. She spends time answering questions and gives great information. My problem is with her surgery skills. I had a C section and the scar she left on me from a Horrible closure was disgusting. She is Not good at closure, and rushes it. Weeks after birth she checked the scar and thought it looked fine. I had a second opinion from a plastic surgeon and they had to add stitches and then eventually i had to have a revision surgery to try to help the horrible scar. Also, my sons circumcision is not even and looks weird. I certainly hope he doesn’t have to fix that down the line. These important things to a woman/​Mother and my son. She should at least try to be better at it.

Dr Allen is a fantastic OB/​GYN! She is thorough, a consummate professional and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr Allen!

Dr. Allen took care of me during my 2^nd and 3^rd pregnancies. She is OUTSTANDING and I highly recommend her. She guided me through 2 high risk pregnancies and kept me safe (alive!) and deliever two healthy preemies. I still see her for my annual exams and have always been happy with her friendly staff.
In addition to being an OB/​GYN, she is a mom who understands what it is like to go through a pregancy while working. I have referred many friends to her adn they have all been happy with her office.
