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.

Dr. Alder is thorough and extremely patient. My twins have been under his care since they were 2 years old. I can honestly say Dr. Alder has never once made us feel rushed during the visits. He is always very thoughtful and takes time to listen and explain. His office is clean, staff are nice, and wait time has never been long. I would highly recommend Dr. Alder to any parent.

Dr Alder is wonderful with healthy kids. I wouldn't go to him if your child is actually sick! He regularly misdiagnosed my son. Most notably was when he diagnosed him as having ADD which actually turned out to be EPILEPSY! BIG difference! He repeatedly made backwards comments about my son on several occasions and called me a bad parent for not agreeing with his (incorrect) diagnosis. He went OFF on me (as in full out yelling) for taking my son to the ER one time and told me I should not be taking him to specialists (he is also immuno-compromised), but should only bring him to his office.

Doctor is rude and belligerent, refuses to listen to parents and only cares about racking up copays rather than addressing serious health issues.
