Philosophy

"My philosophy of care centers around the idea that a physician-patient relationship is built on trust, communication, and compassion. I strive to practice inclusive medicine, in which everyone feels welcomed and heard. Inclusivity is something I continually work towards and am ever conscientious of. Being considerate of people's needs is something that's deeply rooted in medical care; as clinicians, we must be conscious of being empathetic and compassionate, as these are foundational tenets of inclusive medicine."

I am still waiting for Dr Allen to read my blood results. MYCHART shows some red flags and I am concerned but cannot reach her and she has not reached out. My sugar shows 171 and she knows I've had some fainting spells and feel bad. Dr Arnold would have already sent a letter in my mailbox by now.

I went to discuss perimenopause. It was dismissed as she doesn't prescribe hormones. She also ordered a thyroid test that I did not agree too. All she seemed concerned about was routine preventative care that declined as it was not why I was there. I will be looking for a different provider.
