Steven Mcallen's Online Review Report Card

Not a trustworthy person. Has a tendency to lie and rip off people, despite earning a lot of money as an internal medicine doctor. Recommend avoiding at all costs.

Primary visit was heart related. Secondary was for previously scheduled lab work and a general health visit. He took my blood pressure, asked about a recent episode, grabbed his prescription pad and we were done. Very little explanation regarding the new prescription and handed me a card to a cardiologist. I called the office the next day to see what the results of lab work showed and am still waiting for a response. And to boot, I have been a patient for over 20 years. Time to move on!

My primary physician retired in May 2022. I needed to find a new primary.My insurance listed Dr McAllen as one of the approved choices. I called Dr mcallen's office and spoke with the receptionist to make an appointment. She said the doctor would have to review my information to accept me as a new patient. The only information she took was my name, age, and insurance company. She said the doctor would be back to me within a week. After 10 days I called again and was told the doctor was still reviewing my information and would give me a decision soon. I waited another week and then called the doctor's office again. I was told again that the doctor had not looked at my information. It seemed to me that there wasn't much information to consider. I think it is pretty rude to be this inconsiderate to not be able to get back with someone and say “no or yes”. I think this doctor has little, or no interest in serving our community

I am 73 and Dr. Mcallen is the kindest, most caring doctor I have ever met. His skilled diagnosis has saved my 80 year old sister's life.

2/27/2021 Dude's an INCOMPETENT, CLUELESS QUACK. He caused the death of my father in 2005.

I have been going to doctor McAllen for over 10 years when the local hospital told me to go home and die he saved my life by getting me transferred to Stanford

I've been a patient of Dr. McAllen's for over ten years. He's bright, quick to pick up on issues, a very good listener, and very easy to talk to. If there's any issue with him, it's that he has limited time for each patient, and thus it's possible for patients with multiple conditions that he might miss something. I make out a note in advance, and give him one copy and keep a copy for myself. It works out fine for us. In one urgent situation on a Sunday, he responded by phone within 30 minutes. In my opinion, this is a good Doctor and a fine person who has to deal with all the limitations of private practice that we all face in America today. I highly recommend Dr. Mcallen.

after coming back from 2 week cruise with very bad coughing he told me to wash my hands more often, no meds, no follow up, nada! Since I have HMO I have no choice for other Drs., the good ones are not available.

Wants to treat symptoms rather than dig down and try to find 'causes'. Misses too much. He 'burned out' too quickly. Merely mention (no more than 'mention') the fact that this morning your back aches and you will be billed as having had a 'diagnosis' of bone pain. Collect the buck and move on.

Continuing patient of a number of years. Prompt, knowledgeable, gets to the point, has always been helpful, though he is quite rushed as are most of the MDs in our area. I bring a list of issues, we review it, and I'm usually happy. Certainly can recommend him but he doesn't accept all insurance, so be sure to check
