""Dr. Allen is polite, etc. My issue is, I was to have 3 bandings done at three separate appointments... [after which] the larger one... was still a problem. I sent a message via my portal to inform Dr. Allen of my situation. I received a return phone call a few days later from his nurse saying he would refer me to a surgeon? That was his explanation via his nurse?? It seems to me that he really isn't concerned with his patients.""
