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.

Euthanasia??
Dr. Alsdorf is the most unprofessional physician I have ever had. Me and my father both had him as a main dr., I am 32, my father passed in 2021. I found him in his apartment and had previously asked Stephen alsdorf to stop prescribing him alprazolam multiple times because it was well aware by me and his dr. That he was drinking himself to death. He continued to prescribe two prescriptions of 30 1 mg alprazolam a month without one visit, knowing he was drinking from the minute he woke up until he passed out. Until I found my father dead in his apartment, with atleast 4 bottles of 30 count 1 mg all over the apartment. He was my main physician but everytime I asked him why he did so he smirked and said he “did not have time for this”. Honestly a disgusting man and should have his license taken away. I found my father with so many prescription bottles with stephens name on them while I was calling 911. And all I ever got was a little giggle and that he “didn’t have time for this”.

No words. Dr Alsdorf had me on 4 hypertension meds trying to get my BP down to that of a 22 year old. I monitored my BP on the meds, sent him the results....and his response was "still too high". What is a patient to do with that information. No new appt....no change of meds? Started having dizzy/fainting spells...went to a cardiologist in another city...told me I was way overmedicated and took me down to just one of the four meds. All fine now for months...and BP good...for a 72 yo. Also had covid symptoms although tested negative. Mentioned to Alsdorf that I was having some chest pain.....subdermal(?)...but worth mentioning. "I can't imagine what that is, but no sense doing tests because if it is benign they will just come back negative." After which...he reminded me that he was "two minutes" late for his next appt, so we could discuss the issue next visit. The quotes are real.

Doesn't believe in Western Medicine. He's arrogant, lies and tries his best to get rid of you ASAP. His practice was seeing 4 patients every 15 minutes.

Dr. Alsdorf has a very friendly nature about him and he talks to you as a patient. He doesn't talk down to you as a patient. Very nice to have a conversation with a out what ails you and has always been a good listener.
