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.

Will not use this provider any longer. Office does not take calls, nor leave message if they call back and miss me. I refuse to deal with a doctor i can't communicate with.

I checked in at 8:02 and was informed by the receptionist that I didn’t have an appointment. I told her that Dr Alost nurse had called me and told me that I had an appointment for December 1st at 8:30 .They finally squeezed me in at 9:25. That was very upsetting to me.

Smooth and efficient. This is a surgeon who does not force surgery if it is not needed. This is the second time that I have seen the doctor and he did not recommend surgery.

Visit was what I was expecting, check in was fast and easy. Wait time was less then I was expecting…Once in the waiting room all information was taken on why I was visiting and my records were updated. Dr. came in shortly after that and examined me asked questions and administered treatment. Everything went well.
