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.

Very smart and friendly doctor. Was referred to him by my PCP for high platelets. Very informative and put me at ease. I would trust this doctor 100%.

What a great doctor. Dug right in and was able to figure out what was wrong with my blood within a few hours, just by taking more blood and asking questions. What a great diagnostician.

Never go to a practice that isn’t busy, felt fortunate to get first appt within 5 business days. Recording mentioned give us 24 hours to respond, please don’t call multiple times, certainly reasonable. Got my call back in 58 minutes via the call log, referred by my Endocrinologist Dr Vinik whose recommendations continue to impress

I've been a patient of Dr. Adler's since 2006. Seeing him is like visiting with an old friend. He has guided my health from a dicey condition to a more than even keel. I highly recommend Dr. Adler.

Visit in person was fine. His Inability to dialogue regularly with,(actually he adamantly refused), can be fatal. He refused to communicate by email or Voice mail and never be returns messages for days or weeks . Call backs from Dr Adler are from the hospital in Boca Raton on Sunday afternoons. The gatekeeper nurses were non empathetic and downright mean as the would not relay any IMPORTANT information. That’s a gray area - I am not sure if they were “following orders” or they took the initiative to decide a hematoma covering my body was not worthy of a call back for two weeks. The reception people took messages with kindness but to no avail. The nurses nurses advised me to sit in a local urgent care. Dismissing my blood and bone cancer as“important” One time -an on call dr for Adler prescribed me antibiotics after his nurses refused to contact Dr Adler. It was too late as the vertigo caused a bad fall from sinus infection that had advanced. All his staff reflect who he is
