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 had the extreme pleasure and LUCK of getting into Norton weight loss center and having him as my doctor and that was almost 10 years ago and I haven't gained my weight back and I followed his instructions and lost almost 100 pounds and have kept it off and my surgery was almost 10 years ago I just wanted to say Thank you DrAllen

Acted like I was bothering him
I have had trouble with my stomach for a couple of months and ended up in the ER. They consulted a GI specialist and the a gastric bypass specialist, which ended up being Dr Allen. From the start he acted like I was bothering him and then after I was still in pain, I kinda got the feeling he thought I was a fishing for some narcotics! I was IN PAIN!!!! I told him I know there has to be other types of pain meds out there other than narcotics. So he finally scheduled my surgery, to see if he could find something wrong which he really seemed bothered about and after the surgery he didn’t explain anything to me and just sent me home.

Better communication skills needed
Dr Allen's communication skills and demeanor are awful. After experiencing severe abdominal pain I visited Norton Hosiptal to find the cause of the problem. 3 ER visits and 2 admissions, a scope a barium swallow did not definitively reveal the source of the pain. Dr. Allen performed surgery and did not talk with me after surgery. He told my bf that they found scar tissue from previous surgeries but did not say whether it was removed or what my next steps should be. He just left a picture with no explanation for us in the waiting room. And anytime I talked with him about my pain he treated me as if I was an addict looking for a fix! I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy.

Took my sister to see DrAllen, he did not listen to her or read information from her other doctor, My sister was made to feel as if she was a waste of his time, luckily another surgeon we consulted removed the lap band and resolved her condition. In 34 as a nurse had I never seen a doctor treat a patient that way. So sad.

I would not recommend him to anyone. Takes no time to explain anything at all. Not a hands on doctor at all. Time spent in room with you is less than 3 minutes

Great Surgeon and great person too! I like to give credit where it is due and my surgery could not have gone any smoother. I was anxious but the Doctor and the staff put me at ease and got the job done in a very efficient and professional manner. I am very pleased and relieved now!
