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 likable and didn’t make me wait at all!
Very impressive brand new facility. Was in and out in 20 minutes even with X-rays.

Awesome
Dr Adler is a very nice man. He answered all my questions and I had a lot to ask him. He and his staff seem second to none and that put me at ease. I’m a pretty good read of people and Dr Adler is a genuine guy that has feelings for the people he helps. 100% recommend him and his staff.

Dr Adler looked over the X-rays and then examined my knee.He mentioned the arthritis and wants to do a conservative approach with an injection and see how I do with that.I appreciate Dr Adler’s approach.

The visit was short and to the point. I saw an x-ray which helped me identify that the problem of pain was elsewhere. We did not discuss what might be causing pain so I’m having to work that out for myself.

My visit was a followup. Dr. Adler was very reassuring that everything I’m still feeling after surgery is very normal. He took the time to listen to all my concerns. Dr. Adlers team is great and very caring. I would highly recommend!!

I was his first patient when he came to Orthopedic Institute when Dr Rodman retired and he is the only Dr that can treat me when I have a issue, there are not enough words to describe what a wonderful surgeon he is and a wonderful person.

A fantastic fantastic doctor !
Dr. Adler is the BEST doctor ! He is kind, respectful he listens and he has your best interest at heart. There is no other orthopedic doctor I would see. I missed 5 days of work after my knee replacement. I was told by the hospitalist that Dr. Adler’s patients seem to do better than most. Top notch doctor. Highly recommend!
