Edward G Allcock's Online Review Report Card

Excellent

What can I say about Dr. Allcock? He's amazing! There are not enough doctors like him that exist in this day and age. He truly cares about his patients. YOU, the patient, come first. He is one of the only doctors I've seen, (I've seen alot) that takes the time to REALLY listen to what you have to say. Whether it's a quick or an extended visit well over the allotted time, he doesn't rush you. He takes his time and is very thorough. This isn't one of those practices that sees how many patients they can book in a day. I honestly can't say enough GOOD things about him. When he took the Hippocratic Oath he took it to heart! He always puts the patient first. The staff are caring and make you feel at home the moment you walk in. You're not a number, you're a person! They are courteous and treat you with the utmost respect. Dr. Allcock and his staff go the extra mile!! I would highly recommend this practice without hesitation!!

The only reason I would consider *not* recommending Dr. Allcock is that I selfishly don't want him to be too busy so when I want to see him he'll have an opening! I've never met a more thorough doctor. I really appreciate how much he is really looking to help, not just looking to get you in and out as quickly as possible. He was a bit late to the appointment, but he had an urgent patient issue he had to deal with. I don't mind waiting because someday that urgent patient might be me.

Edward Allcock, DO is a professional, caring, engaging doctor. He treats his staff, support team, and especially his patients with respect and optimism. He is a good listener, and he uses laughter as a form of rehabilitative medicine. Dr. Allcock is mindful of his patients' environments, their backgrounds, and their goals. He treads cautiously yet is forward-thinking, is aware of his patients' aspirations following rehab, and helps his patients achieve their goals by setting firm boundaries.

Dr. Allcock embodies everything you could possibly hope for in a physician. His bedside manner, empathetic nature, and analytic mind means you are in excellent hands. He never hesitates to get the tests that are needed, nor have another physician look at you to have a fuller understanding of what's going on. Always in Washingtonia's top 100 d

Dr Allcock is not only a good MD but also shines with positive energy and gives one more reason to use the outstanding facilities of the Virginia Hospital Center and Allcock, Thelma-Arlington Rehabilitation

Dr. Allcock lists himself as a specialist in the area of pain management but he lacks two important qualifications:1) He is entirely uninterested in a patient's pain - where it is, what causes it, what helps it, etc.2) He has the zero empathy, zero "bedside manner" and is only interested in sending people to his physical therapy practice, not in helping them reduce or cope with their pain.I was referred to Dr. Allcock when my Physiatrist of 7 years left the area. I came with records from that doctor's files and he said he wouldn't need them because he prefers to make his own diagnosis and treatment plan. The first thing he did was an exam that produced so much pain that tears came from my eyes - and I'm pretty tough. Then he said I should not take any medication of any kind - starting immediately. Finally, he prescribed Physical Therapy at the clinic that he runs in Arlington. When I asked him how, with severe spinal nerve compression and massive arthritis I could manage my pain with no medication at all, he laughed and said medication makes your pain worse, not better.If you check consumerscheckbook dot com, the largest directory of doctors rated by other doctors, his name doesn't get a single mention, though he sees a large number of patients.I strongly suggest you find someone else to see for your pain.
