Recently, Dr. Alpert received the Massachusetts General Hospital Academic Enrichment Grant and was named to Strathmore’s Who’s Who 2008. Dr. Alpert’s interests are in treating sports injuries via minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. He performs arthroscopy of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle. His main goal is to get patients of every age back to their activities as quickly and safely as possible after injury. Procedures such as arthroscopic rotator cuff repair of the shoulder, ACL reconstruction of the knee and hip arthroscopy are done on an outpatient basis. This minimizes post-operative pain, increases the potential for rehabilitation and can lead to a quicker recovery. Dr. Alpert is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American Orthopedic Society of Sports Medicine (AOSSM). He currently serves as a team physician for Judson University, Larkin High School, and Dundee Crown High School. In addition to treating patients with sports injuries, Dr. Alpert also commonly sees patients with work-related injuries to the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle, and foot. He performs Independent Medical Examinations and is Certified to perform Impairment Ratings as per the 6th Edition AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. Dr. Alpert lives in Inverness, enjoys playing golf, basketball and softball as well as spending time in the Chicagoland area with family and friends.

I saw Dr Alpert for a knee injury 9 yrs ago, would not go see another Ortho. Thank you -
Competent, knowledgeable and friendly.
excellent, told me what the problem was and laid out options available to me.
Always excellent!!
It is hard to rate the Dr because I barely saw him. I liked him, but only saw him for a minute. The PA did the exam, read and explained the x-ray and told me the course of treatment. She was very good.
Very thorough.
Precise and efficeient diagnosis.
Great service! Thanks
Excellent bedside manners with good credentials. The surgery staff were well prepared and took the time to explain the discharge instructions clearly. Heard very good comments from someone else who had a similar procedure by Dr. Alpert.
He acted like he was doing me a favor by seeing him for a few minutes, and he had the nerve to say that "we can only discuss one body part per visit". How stupid is THAT?? Then he told e that they see over 70 PEOPLE per day and if they spent time with everyone on EVERY problem they had, they'd never make any money! WHY WOULD HE EVEN say something like that??? AND, they should NEVER see 70 people in one day anyway. That means NO ONE is even getting close to adequate care. I'll never go back !
