Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Whole office was professional.

Amazing Dr
Dr Adler took the time for a thorough question and answer! He suggested food to help with my issue that no other doctor I’ve see for 30 years has told me! He has a very nice bedside manner. Since Dr. Adler diagnosed me with Crohn’s, he took the time to get my medicines right. Suggested some life changes. And has all around made me feel much better!. I highly recommend Dr Adler!

patient review
I have been a patient of Dr Adler’s for a little over a year now and highly recommend him. He is highly professional, and I felt he listened to my concerns as a patient and worked with me to help me achieve my goals. I feel at ease in his practice and love the flexibility of the mobile phone virtual visits. I have recommended Dr Adler to my friends for their routine colonoscopy exams as well as when they have a digestive issues. He is very well trained, patient, easy to talk to and professional.

I first saw Dr Adler for follow up after a cologuard test ordered by my internist was positive. He was knowledgeable, kind, and decisive. He explained the specificity and shortcoming of the test, answered all my questions and gained my confidence. I recently saw him again because I was exposed to listeria and had some symptoms. He again answered all my questions. He checked current CDC guidelines and other source documents in confirming his recommendations. I trust his judgment, knowledge and skillls completely.

I have had several colonoscopies from Dr. Adler. He is very thorough, gentle, and friendly. the whole practice, Glen Endoscopy, is well run, caring, and comfortable. Dr. Adler is recommended by, at least my internist, and based on Dr. Adler's schedule, I assume others.

This was my first colonoscopy experience, but at 57 I knew I needed it done. I had some trepidation going in, but from the time I walked in to the time I walked out, it was stress-free and comfortable. I believe there were five people I interacted with. Each was great at making me comfortable, putting my mind at ease by explaining everything that they were doing and what would be done. Once in the room, the anesthetist administered the drugs and I was "out" and within seconds. I "came to" after a very deep and satisfying sleep. There were no complications during the procedure, and images were shown of a few polyps that were found. I was given the option of a follow-up call a few days later which I declined. They did call with the test results a short time after that. In summary this was an easy procedure done by a skilled and caring staff. I was impressed!

I have been seeing Dr. Adler for many years, primarily for my routine colonoscopies. He is excellent, personable, and runs an outstanding team. I just had my latest colonoscopy yesterday. I commend the team of professionals that I came in contact with. From the time of my arrival to my departure from the center, everyone I came in contact with were professional, kind, sensitive, and responsive to my needs as a patient. This included the nursing staff, anesthesiology staff, and all the assistants involved in the service. Thank You!
