Dr. Abed Alo, MD

Dr Alo operated on me.Very painful colorectal issues that will last a lifetime.His office, decked out like a king,this man is the most know it all,arrogant,Dr.If you experience pain from 2 general surgeries ,DONT EXPECT THIS MAN TO CARE AT ALL !!!!!!!!!!!! I was referred to him after a emergency chopper flight to st Vincent hospital and a emergency surgery.I was sepsis,no blood pressure and close to death.BEFORE he ever looked at the surgical sight when I met him he made quite clear that he gives 2 weeks of pain medication and no more.REMEMBER,THIS WAS BEFORE HE EVER EVEN EXAMINED ME.He continued to tell me to take NSAIDS,EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW I CANNOT TAKE NSAIDS.He did not care whatsoever.At one point his staff hung up on me on the phone saying,I DONT KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.Said he dropped me as a patient,AFTER I FIRED HIM .He is a awful Dr.IF YOUR IN PAIN,YOU ARE A DRUG SEEKER.I wouldn't let him treat my dog.

Dr Alo has in his literature,you will receive 2 weeks of pain medication after surgery.He has no compassion for patients who may have presented with very painful post-op pain. People are not objects on an assembly line.Stating the amount of ANY medication you will receive pre-operative is not practicing medicine. That's an assembly line.He has NO IDEA what a patient will need post-op unless he is a god who can see the future.No bedside manner,barely makes eye contact or listens to his patients concerns.His office rarely answers questions left in the patient portal.

This is a doctor that pulls a diagnosis out of thin air in hopes that it sticks. Didn’t do any x-rays, CT scans, nothing. I suffered for two months, ended up in the emergency room, where they did testing and diagnosed the problem correctly. I had surgery… I requested another physician /surgeon who corrected the problem. I was in the hospital for 11 days. I don’t recommend this doctor to anybody.

Long term patient of Dr. Alo

I have been a patient of Dr Alo for a number of years...probably 10, maybe longer. The office itself is very professional and helpful. Dr Alo himself is...well, I'd say he exudes confidence, which is to me is reassuring. I do not have to see him often, but when I do the experience has always been particularly good.
