I'm very happy with the care I've received from Dr Allen, so far. I've seen her twice, with the first time being for a nerve conduction study and then a follow up with x-rays and cortisone shots. She also referred me to get physical therapy. I've had that twice but no one has ever actually targeted the exercises to the specific problem areas. Was super grateful to leave there in much less pain than when I arrived. Hoping to get the issue solved through physical therapy, opposed to having to have regular injections just to be able to move. I've been happy with the last three physicians I've seen at emerge ortho, each for different parts of my body, ha.

Staff and doctor made me feel a little rushed. Very proficient medically, but not very friendly. They, in their defence, were bothered by some malfunctioning computers.
