From the first visit, I knew that my twins would continue with Dr. Thygeson. He was very responsive…read moreand helpful. Once, when I was busy with the kids, he called me three times just to make sure that I went to the right place to have the blood test done for my twins because they have jaundice. The next day, he called me again just to make sure if I had the blood test for the kids. After he checked the results, he called us and informed us about the results, which was something to make us calm because we were worried about the kids I'm very satisfied with this doctor, and I recommend him for your kids

Both of my young daughters were patients of this practice for the last 3 years. We were very…read morepleased with the care up until this past year. One of our daughters experienced a very complex medical issue that landed us in the hospital with multiple admissions. We felt like we were left on our own to navigate this very difficult time. She had chronic respiratory issues and there were times I asked for multiple referrals to further investigate what was wrong with her. It felt like it was an inconvenience to send those instead being open to investigating all options. We often felt shrugged off. In the end, the specialty that diagnosed her problem was the referral that he didn't want to send. One of the times when we were in the PICU with our daughter, he came in and told us we should stop using her home pulse ox on her foot. I truly believe that thing saved her and actually ended up providing helpful information as she was aspirating and would drop into the 70's in her sleep. What a truly inappropriate time to even bring that up to very scared parents. We have since been into the office for an unrelated issue with the NP. There was concern of possible strep. A rapid swab was done as well as throat culture but the culture was never sent. I sent the provider 2 messages to follow up and she never responded. Super frustrating experience.

When my 4th is due, I plan to call and have her seen at least once by the GOT. Between my care, my brothers care, my kids care, and my nephews care - he has never been incorrect about a diagnosis or not given us the tools to fix an issue. You won't be in better hands anywhere else! - sincerely.... one of his now ancient "little chiefs"

We just finished our baby well checkup and I'm extremely happy with our visit this time. There was…read morea misunderstanding with my last visit as it was a first time patient visit and not a well baby check up. I truly appreciate that Dr. Avala took our concerns about our baby's head shape and quickly made a referral for that. The baby well check up was very much informative. We first met the student doctor Amir who was very informative, helpful, and kind. With him we discussed my baby's growth and milestones and then we followed up with Dr. Avala. We also caught our baby up with vaccines and made our next appointment for her 9 month check up.

Dr. Allen and the whole staff at Center for Living Health are all extraordinary…read more Before my son was born I hunted high and low for a pediatrician that would a great support my child and any future children I would have. I had a lot of qualities that the Doctor would need to possess and needless to say Dr. Allen went way above and beyond. My son was born woth a rare genetic disease which did not really take full effect until his second birthday. Dr. allen was able to see he was showing signs of delay very early on and referred us to the early start program. He was so kind as to encourage us with a message of hope that we would help Finn overcome his challenges. He was able to supply us with healthier options for teething issues, as well as, giving us advice on sleeping and preventing fevers. Dr. Allen helped us navigate the devastating turn shortly after my son's second birthday. After a two month stay at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital, our first stop was to see Dr. Allen. He was very quick to help build back up the encouragement that Finn is going to do exactly what Finn is going to do. Dr. Allen has given us a deeper insight on labs and diagnosis, he has been wonderul at giving us supplements to help combat the side effects for the nasty medication he needs to be on and hes helped with pain management. He has also given us so much help when we have emergency hospital visits. He has supported mothers intuition (which has been right thus far) he has referred us to compassionate specialists. All I can say is, we live Dr. Allen. He and his team and a bright and guiding light during our very dark journey and I am so grateful yo have such a caring, honest and intelligent doctor double check the qork of everyone else that is involved in Finns life. All doctors should be like Dr. Michael Allen!

I've waited a few weeks to write this review- I wanted to make sure I wasn't coming from an angry…read moreplace I brought my daughter (16yr old) To see Dr. Allen because of high sugar levels/borderline diabetes in October. We are a family that eats very healthy; no seed oils, everything organic, very minimal sugar. No sodas, no processed or boxed food. Nothing microwaved. My daughter is very active in sports, she runs and weight lifts on weekly basis- yet has a very hard time loosing a single pound. We don't eat out, no fast food. So the high sugar levels and extremely low iron levels puzzled me. Thinking something in her gut needs to be fixed, or her thyroid is out of order. I had a handful of tests that I've already had Kaiser order and brought those to the appointment. To my surprise, the doctor didn't order new tests, didn't suggest new tests, and hardly reviewed the tests Several times he asked her if she was stressed. Several times- as if to have her change her mind. My daughter said she stresses over school- but nothing out of the originally and nothing on the extreme levels. The push was for stress lotions and his own vitamins that was created by him and his office. I was hoping he would do an exam on her, maybe to see if her glens were swollen, or look at her tongue- none of that done He spent an hour with us... and brought in a box of vitamins and lotions. My mistake was buying everything he suggested. We even paid for a bottle of vitamins that they didn't have in stock- but promised to send them in the mail. I had to call 3 weeks after the appointment and they forgot to send us the items we paid for. Office is disorganized. They did apologize for the mistake- but I should not have had to call to look for the vitamins weeks later after paying for them. I carefully chose this place, because he is an MD and practices holistic care and because of the yelp reviews. But it was my mistake In choosing this practice- because all he wants to do is upsell his own vitamins and lotions and not recommend anything else. Very disappointed in the appointment My daughter mentioned in the car that every vitamin looks the same and joked that we bought sugar pills. I was hoping that during this appointment, additional blood work and stool tests would of been ordered to see if fats are digested correctly, T3, T4 and THS tests would of been requested, or allergy testing or some other test to see if her gut is working properly. something else to see why her iron levels are almost non-existent and why her blood sugar is so high when she consumes no sugar Save yourself a thousand dollars, and go someplace where the doctor actually wants to get to the bottom of your issue and not just by having you buy his own vitamins. How can you prescribe vitamins when you don't truly know what is wrong.

Like any new father, you tend to worry about the unknown. Everything from circumcision to the length of his tongue to eating and pooping and sleeping and crying have been explored within these office walls. With each question, Dr. Lucien has an answer that is direct, to the point, and usually puts us right at ease. He did the aforementioned circumcision, and he has administered all our babe's vaccine shots. His office staff is pretty swell as well. They always greet us with smiles and have patience when accidents happen, like our little man dropping a massive poo seconds before he is to be weighed. Dr. Lucien was recommended to us by family friends with kids and we will in turn be recommending him to other new parents. The overall care at UC Davis hospital is exceptional, and Dr. Lucien is no exception!
