Incompetent staff. Doctor might be good but his staff is useless. Apparently they only have 1 person doing referrals it takes her 5-7 business days to submit anything. You could be in pain unable to walk and it doesn't matter because you have to wait until she gets to you to even submit a referral and then wait for the next specialist to have an opening. Unacceptable and ridiculous. Also they only open for 5 hours a day? They close at 1-2pm and Fridays at 12. What kind of medical office has such limited hours? Changing PCP not going back.

It's hard to choose a PCP off of a name and address. I'm telling you, I lucked out today. Dr Allen was super professional and ultra friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions efficiently but didn't make me feel rushed. I felt right at home in his office and his staff were super friendly. From the moment he stepped into the room and addressed me, I knew I made the right choice. He has a great bedside manner and I'm happy to have him as my primary care provider.

Dr. Allen and his staff are truly incredible. One of the most dedicated medical teams in Southern California. They are always kind, helpful, and pay very close attention to the details of their patients. With Dr. Allen, you are not a number, you are not "another file," you are treated like a family member. Dr. Allen has been my and my family's PCP for 15+ years, and the care in unrivaled. They are committed to personal attention and what health care is truly meant to be. Best of the best.

Absolutely the rudest person on the phone I have ever spoken with while trying to schedule an appointment. Called to see if I could get an MRI done and the women behind the phone said to call back later. I asked if anyone could help me schedule something and she repeated herself if a very rude manner and said that's why I told you to call back later. Told her I'll take my business elsewhere because of how rude she was and she hung up the phone. Not sure about the service at this place but they for sure need to look at the people answering the phones.

Due to a staff turnover my last review was not very favorable. However, Dr. Allen has a new staff and they are awesome. Dr. Allen is on time 95% of the time, unlike some other doctors where you have to wait for sometimes up to an hour or more in the waiting room.
He takes his time listening to your problems and treats you with care.
I definitely would recommend Dr. Allen as your primary doctor.

Dr Allen has been my primary care physician for over 10 years. I trust him completely! His staff are friendly, efficient, timely, and I always leave there smiling and feeling completely taken care of. He has referred me out to specialists who have taken fabulous care of me also. If you wondering if there are still doctors around who treat you like part of the family, look no further than Dr Allen :)

Dr. Allen is amazing! I am very lucky, my husband has been seeing him for a very long time and told me I should visit him when my General doctor retired 10 years ago. It was the best medical decision I could have made - and now even our grown sons see Dr. Allen!
All you need to do is read his Bio - he is an accomplished physician that listens to his patients and treats them with care and kindness.
Also, Scott and the rest of the office staff are awesome!

Dr. Allen is an outstanding physician! Not only that, he is a very laid back, calm, cool and collected person that you can feel comfortable talking to about what ever medical issues you may have.
He has been my General Practice and Aviation Medical Examiner for the past 19 years and has been spot on with each diagnosis.
From the flu, sprains, torn achilles tendon, torn bicep, etc... this doctor knows exactly what he's diagnosing.
If he feels that he needs to refer you to a specialists - he has a network of top tier physicians who can get you the treatment you need so you can get on the mend

They are a great bunch. From the 2 Doctors to all the employees. They really seem like they want to accommodate me and my family. What a great feeling to have my general practice Dr be so cool and awesome. Thanks Dr Allen and Dr faccet. The other cool thing is that they cover for each other when one is one vacation. Both Dr's are way cool really.

They take like 2-3 hour lunch breaks, they close earlier than other offices, and they still try to fine you after you've paid a fine. I missed an appointment, paid the 50$ fine only to have them mail me several more times saying I still owe them 50$. Joseph Allen didn't once make eye contact with me, barley talked to me, barley gave me any time. The nurses were nice everyone else in this office is terrible. Good luck getting an appoitment, they always try to schedule me like 2-4 weeks ahead of when I call. Never going here again.

After CVS contacted Dr. Allen's office twice, and I called their office twice, they didn't respond to approve a simple refill on medication I need. They had from Tuesday until Friday to do it, and just didn't. They're closed on the weekends, so this left me without medication I need for several days.
They now use a calling service to answer their calls, so the receptionist I talked to twice wasn't actually able to talk directly to the doctors. To me this feels absurd and unacceptable.

I previously only saw Dr. Allen for annual exams. So, never really had a good or bad experience. I must say, I hate going to the doctor unless I'm dying. Unfortunately, last week I ended in the ER for breathing difficulties. I followed up with Dr. Allen twice since the incident. He was very knowledgeable and within days of my ER visit, I was finally breathing more than 50% of my lung capacity. He is very personable and kind. His staff is very friendly, especially his nurse. It really does feel like a "family" practice. I am delighted to have him as a doctor...and now less hesitant

I see Dr. Allen when Fassett is out of the office. I'm a long term patient, by long term I'm talking 20 years. I would say our relationship started out a little forced, rushing me in and out of the office. I will say in the last year or so Dr. Allen has grown on me. He was very proactive when I came in recently for a skin check and he removed the questionable mole for a biopsy... good thing he did, as it was pre canercous. Thanks Dr. Allen! One other thing,I am so happy he got rid of the nurse with long hair and glasses. Her name escapes me, she was nasty to patients, and shoved paperwork

Extremely knowledgable. Diagnosed me with compartmental syndrome correctly in the first five minutes of seeing me. It's Extremely rare he knew what it was right away. It is almost always misdiagnosed for shinsplints. He is Friendly easy-going and knows what he's doing. And it is Easy to get into see him. What more can Ask for.

PLEASE READ: This office NO LONGER DRAWS BLOOD for labs at their location. I just paid $50 for a "how do you do", a blood pressure read, temp check and a referral. They really should inform people over the phone when making an appointment, this was a complete waste of my time and money.
It is inexcusable to be asked over the phone what you are seeing the doctor for, to tell them "for a blood test only", and then to be told to come in without mentioning that they no longer draw blood. I have been with this office for years, I would have hoped they would have had enough respect
