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.

Amazing DR.

Dr Alley is an excellent doctor, with a terrific beside manner, who always listens carefully to all questions and explains in detail the answers so that I can understand. I really appreciate the knowledge, skill and experience that Dr. Alley brings, as well as the thoroughness he is able to have with follow-up and careful coordination. I have on many occasions called after hours and have always been responded to within minutes. His staff are excellent, and wait times are definitely reasonable. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Alley and his office.

Dr. Alley is personable and provides care to the whole person. His staff is excellent. Never feel rushed or like you can't ask a question with any of them. Highly recommend.

Shortly into my first appointment he began saying humiliating things. He condemned 2 diagnoses that I have had for over 10 years, for which I regularly see highly-skilled specialists. He contradicted other doctors' recommendations for my health issues, such as a gluten-free diet. When questioning me about my family environment, he interrupted me with condescending remarks. At my 2nd appt. he called me a liar. Such condescension is appalling, arrogant and prejudicial.

Thought that hernia surgery would be real rough on me. I heard horror stories about people struggling to get back to work within a month. The only reason I know Josh did something is that the the hernia is no longer there and there was some supper glue on my belly button that slowly came off! He operated on Thursday and I was back to work on Monday (could have gone back to work on Friday). I had more problems with the anesthesia than the surgery. I tend to be a hypochondriac.
