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.

I have been seeing Dr. Ali for the past 10 years. I also see her NPs from time to time. This place has changed my life for Good. I did TMS treatment and it helped me taper off a lot of medications I was taking. The staff is very friendly and they are very flexible with their schedule. Highly Recommend Allen Psychiatry.

Amiable, Tremendous and professional Doctor
Dr. Ali is an amiable, tremendous and professional Psychiatrist. Her humor and radiant demeanor, counts for half the cure. When I first saw her, I was in the cavernous, darkest moments of my life. Clueless about how to go any farther. In a brief span of 2 weeks, she lifted me from my doldrums and return to my normal strength and vitality -- no less than magical. In short, Dr. Ali is an outstanding Psychiatrist.

Cares about building empire, not patients
You will rarely see Dr Ali, just one of her ever growing nurse practitioners. Never the same one either, always a new face going off the last persons notes. They never go over the side effects of the drugs prescribed, and I timed one of my last virtual visits and it only lasted 4 minutes.

Leave yourself plenty of time to refill a prescription. Between the doctor, the insurance and the pharmacy, it may take days to get your medications refilled rather than hours. Rather than sending an Rx for each med you need between appointments, you have to contact the doctor if it’s a controlled substance. They don’t plan ahead. They see so many patients that personal care is the least of their concerns.

Dr. Ali cares about me. She cares about my health. She is very compassionate, empathetic, and honest. I randomly found her in a google search and I'm so glad I did. I owe Dr. Ali a great deal of gratitude. I was also very impressed with her current, innovative, practices to treating mental health. The staff is also very friendly and easy to work with. She is the BEST!

I absolutely love Dr. Ali! She is passionate, intelligent and highly skilled. I cannot even begin to explain all that she's done to help me not only manage my condition, but overall well-being. There are times when she has responded to me during off hours and spent well over my allotted time to ensure I left in good spirits. She's even advocated for me over medical services I am entitled to but did not know how to go about receiving them. No idea where I'd be w/o her - hope never to find out.

I commend their office for always making sure I am using my medicines as prescribed. I had problems with prescription drug abuse for a long time and everyone else only talked to me for 1 minute and handed over a script to me. Dr. Ali held me accountable for my sobriety. She cared enough to listen to me and helped me identify my dependence on xanax. She is the first doctor who actually helped me reduce the total number of meds I was taking. I wish more doctors were responsible like her.
