Dr. Ellis S Allen III

No stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just tried to make an appointment for my husband. CASH PAY. Was told we don't accept cash pay patients. WTH??? Tried to get the receptionist to explain the rationale for that ridiculous policy and she said " I don't know. We just don't" Very poor customer service and first impression. I guess they would rather accept insurance (at a reduced rate) and wait and argue with insurance for their money that have cash!!!! This actually says to me everything that I need to know about this doctor and his clinic. Will gladly go elsewhere. No stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just tried to make an appointment for my husband.

I am a recently retired MD from Michigan visiting your beautiful area for 3 mos. My practice for 42 years has been internal medicine with certification in geriatric Medicine. Most of my work was consulting and teaching geriatrics. My wife while here became I’ll with a rare medical problem on top of a very painful secondary problem. This led to an emergency visit at Thomas Hospital. The ER physician recommended Dr Allen in Foley as did many people where we are staying. His staff was kind to get us in in 3 days. Now let me say that my wife’s medical issues would have challenged the best physicians in any academic medical teaching hospital. I informed Dr. Allen what our conclusions were but informed him that we still were not sure what was causing this. I was very impressed how quickly Dr. Allen was able to comprehend and address 3 serious problems and come up with choices for a plan of care. Three days after the visit there has been significant improvements and my wife is well on her way to recovery. I have been around hundreds of physicians in the academic world and Dr. Allen is what we hope all young physicians would become. He is very bright, understands medicine very well and is empathetic and kind with good follow up. You are very fortunate to have him in Foley Alabama.

Dr ALLEN and his nurse practitioner have helped me so much that I'm still living!!!!!!

I saw Dr. Allen for a serious infection. He tried several different treatments, but the infection did not respond. During the course of treatment he provided me with his persona cell phone number, and wanted me to call immediately if my symptoms became worse. Ultimately he referred me to an orthopedic specialist who saw me within three hours of being contacted, and after consulting with Dr. Allen he admitted me to the hospital. I could not ask for better treatment.

Unfriendly receptionist. Did not listen to what we needed and did not offer any suggestions. Is there a negative star rating?

Have been with several years great Dr and staff I thank all of them

Great group of folks. Old school and treat me better than I deserve. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks Doc!!

Dr. Allen is a very compassionate doctor and he has saved my life if you know the truth sincerely mr. Ray Allen p u g h

Dr Ellis Allen is a caring physician with a personal touch. His expertise for me is with infections and Diabetic wound care.

I am a RN, so my professional opinion and my experience as a patient is combined. Dr Allen has been instrumental in the management of my health issues. He has taken time to listen and carefully provide me with the stellar care that I need and deserve as a patient.

Has been my mother's doctor for 8yrs and has always taken great care of her. Anything she has ever needed he has taken care of.

Dr. Allen and his nurse Sue has helped my dad manage his health for years. They really do care about listening and helping their clients. Sue went above and beyond the call of duty. She submitted a prior authorization for a very expensive COPD drug, that my fathers pulmonary doctor's office refused to do because they said "it was too time consuming and they didn't have time to do it". The entire staff here are very personable and know how to treat people. We need more doctors and staff like them. KUDOS to you and thank you!!

He treats One symptom at a time, with one prescription at a time,per visit. And don't get a chance to list all your symptoms before he whips out his prescription pad and write the prescription for the first symptom that you mentioned. He is not interested in finding out the root cause of your illness but only in masking your symptoms. He also has a hair-trigger temper. I have heard him shouting at his staff and at other patients if they said something that went against what he believes. It

He gets angry very easily. He does not believe in anything that he did not learn in medical school 30 years ago. He believes there is only one way to do anything and that is the only way he will do it. He has a cliff notes for doctors that he uses to decide what drug to prescribe for what symptoms. He doesn't practice medicine, he practices Pharmacy. He will not accept any input from his patients. If you try to give him relevant information he puts you down for it and act as if you are stupid

Great Doctor

They just don't come any better than Dr. Allen! He is one of a dying breed of physicians, who actually takes the time to spend and listen to his patients. I am a retired R.N. of 23 years, and have worked with many, many doctors. So, not only do I make this statement as a patient, I also make it through the eyes of a health care professional myself. Also, he has a staff of wonderful, caring people that provide excellent patient care as a true "team". I have total confidence in Dr. Allen, and feel very blessed to be under his care.

He has always listened to my questions and comments. He is very knowledgeable. He takes time to explain any diagnosis.

Hair trigger temper. You had better not ask questions or object to anything. You don't get to have any input into decisions about your own health care. Doesn't try to find out what's wrong with you - just keeps prescribing medications to mask the symptoms. Most made me worse. He has one set of rules that he applies to every patient. Symptom X always gets treated with drug X, whether it works for you or not. Will not accept information from patients, thinks he knows everything possible already.
