Block Allan MD

I made an appointment with this doctor, 2 weeks ago, for today at 2pm. Wrote it down on both my calendar and my iphone. Got to the office at 1:30 and his VERY RUDE receptionist told me the appointment was for 10am. I never would’ve made it for that time because we were returning from a trip, very late the night before. He came out and was also very rude. Told me he could not see me until next week. I told him I was in an extreme amount of pain. Never even asked what the problem was and then proceeded to tell me he was not a pain doctor. I have a pinched nerve. He’s a Neurologist for Christ sake! My previous doctor from Chicago recommended him (said he’s known him for years!) and I told him that. He acted like he had no idea who I was talking about. My husband just stood up and said, «Let’s Go!» This man has no bedside manner and in all honesty, should not be practicing medicine! Never even apologized. Furthermore, his receptionist is the worst I have ever come in contact with!

Dr. Block is a fantastic physician. He takes the time to sit with his patients and actually listen. He is extremely casual, which he does in order to make patients feel more at ease. I would definitely recommend him to others in the future.

HORRIBLE!!!
DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!!!
If I could give this Dr. Allan Block a zero star rating I would. He doesn’t even deserve the title ‘Doctor.’.
I have been a migraine sufferer since I was a teenager. Having tried many different methods of treatment that have been unsuccessful, I thought I would give Dr. Block a try… since he specializes in Neurology (for adults 18 and older).
For starters, he was wearing jeans with a pair of bright blue sneakers. Extremely unprofessional. He then walked me back for an ‘exam’… which consisted of checking my reflexes and checking my blood pressure. Then he asked me to come in to his office. His office looked straight out of Kindergarten… Batman pictures, action star heroes, and animated drawings ALL over the room.
He asked me what medications I have already tried and haven’t worked. I gave him the list of drugs that I have never saw any results with, and told him the only thing that seems to help is Percocet, as it seems to help with the pain control of the migraines.
Dr. Block stopped writing and said «Sorry, I don’t prescribe pain killers, and I don’t know what else I could suggest to you.» He then played around on the computer, printed out a page on ‘Drug Dependency’ and handed it over. Please note… I am a 28 year old, professional female that has NEVER abused any drugs. This man was way out of line.
He then suggested I drink more water to help with the migraines. End of appointment. I walked to my car and started crying. This man was inconsiderate, and honestly made me feel like I had a problem… and I don’t.
Fast forward 6 months… I receive a notice in the mail that I have been sent to COLLECTION for non-​payment to Dr. Block, in the amount of $ 161.00 (original bill was $ 350 for 10 minutes).
Not ONCE did I receive an invoice from their office… and having paid my co-​pay, and the insurance already paying $ 200… why on earth was I charged this?
Thanks to Dr. Block and his ridiculous staff, I have a pathetic and uncalled for charge on my credit for for the next 7 years. I just hope that you read my review and NEVER go to this Doctor.
