I have been a patient of Dr Alpert for many years. He has treated my shoulder and elbow issues successfully. He is knowledgeable, concise and pleasant.
Great care and supportive staff. Very confident of the process and results.
He suggested waiting a week to see whether or not my broken shoulder blade remains stable and thus, not needing surgery. I appreciate the option.
Thank you my left leg feeling better
