Don't get trapped! If Sanford schedules you to see this Dr call them back immediately and cancel your appointment and schedule with anyone but him! See he signed some bogus non second opinions clause with the other Dr's there so once you see him you can't see anyone else in this field at this...

Dr Alchaki, is not only very smart and knowledgeable, he is kind and understanding -the perfect combination for a doctor!

I’ve been seeing Dr Boetel over the last 15 years. He’s been kind, respectful and has a great sense of humor which made me trust him even more. I’d recommend him to anyone.
