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.

Lucky to have found Dr. Allen and PA Baker
Dr. Allen is a wonderful doctor. She is a no-nonsense doctor who cuts to the chase. PA Christopher Baker is the best. He is knowledgeable about all things orthopedic and has a vast body of experience. I feel fortunate to have found these two out here in the desert!

I have been a patient for 10 years, and each year it gets more difficult to see the Dr. And when I have medical tests, I rarely get a call back about the results and end up having to call and then wait for a callback and hope I'm home when I get that call. Even worse, I get an assistant who calls me to "read me the results" and who is unable to answer any questions about the results, so I end up witing several more days for a call back from -- not the dr. -- but from an n.p.

I left a 5 star review and cannot find how to change it. My problem with Dr. Allen is not her ability as a doctor, but her lack of availability. She is my primary doctor and I've not been able to see her for over two years. While I do appreciate the hard work and help her PA's has given me, that doesn't negate the fact that I only seen my actual doctor twice. Once when I was a new patient and once when I was willing to wait over a month for an appointment.
