Dr. Catherine Alessi, MD

What set her apart was her ability to factor in the interconnectedness of various aspects of my child's health, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to care. Her demeanor was characterized by a respectful and trusting attitude. At no point did she question our integrity or the information we shared about my child's condition. This trust in the patient's narrative fostered an environment of open communication and collaboration, allowing us to feel heard and valued. Despite the complexity of the case, her thorough examination led her to refer us to a different neurologist. This decision, far from being a limitation, reflected her commitment to ensuring my child received the most specialized and targeted care possible.In recommending her, it is not just her medical expertise that stands out, but also her compassionate and patient-centered approach. Her ability to create an atmosphere of trust and collaboration is invaluable, making our experience with her truly commendable.

Dr Alessi told my Son (who is a 19 year old above the knee amputee) that he would never get feeling back in his right hand after being diagnosed with Radial Palsy (which is a temporary loss of feeling in an extremity). She only conducted 1 out of 3 necessary tests and then told him there was no other options and that the next step is to start occupational therapy. Feeling in his hand DID come back. She caused an enormous amount of mental anguish and emotional pain for my son and all of us.
