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.

At 36 I was in need of a hip replacement and chose Dr. Adler out of a pool of doctors covered under my insurance. I'm glad I did. Great bedside manner. After my decision to have the hip replaced, called me later that night to make sure I did not have any more questions or concerns. Talked to him for about half an hour about surgery, family and the upcoming holiday season. Doesn't order unnecessary test or have you make unneeded appointments. Surgery went great and was back to work in 4 weeks. His nurse, surgery floor staff, and the summit facility are outstanding. Great communication. At 44 I needed the other hip replaced and wasted no time getting that one done there as well. Same results as the first. Highly recommend his services!

I had a right shoulder labrum surgery completed by him back in 2015. The shoulder never healed correctly and hurt constantly. When I’d go to post-op appointments with his PA, this guy would minimize everything and make it seem like I was making everything up. I would ask to see Adler instead of this PA and I never get back in to see Adler after surgery, just the PA. Finally, I got sick of being screwed around and went and got a 2nd opinion. My shoulder had become frozen because he kept me in a sling way too long! So I had to go through ANOTHER costly surgery to get my shoulder capsule released and I ended up needing a bicep tenodesis to get my arm/shoulder to fully move again. The 2nd opinion Dr couldn’t believe how Adler performed this surgery on me and he kept emphasizing that he “had to clean up a lot of mess left over”. Please do your homework, as I don’t want anyone to go through what I had to go through.

I tore my MCL and my meniscus when I was about 22 years old. Grade 1 and 2 tears can be healed with PROLOTHERAPY. Prolotherapy has been around sense 1961 and it was never mentioned to me for 36 years. At 34 years old, my MCL tore completely off and I needed surgery. A few months after the surgery, my back problems got 100 times worst. I'm finished! This was a avoidable surgery in my case! Big Hospital care is dangerous and can ruin peoples lives thinking it's the only option. I'm really mad!

Dr. Adler did a great job on my total knee reconstruction (ACL replacement and root meniscus repair). He did a great job of listening and coaching me through the surgical and recovery process. He and his staff are responsive to questions and issues of concern.

I love Dr Adler. He gave me options as to how to repair my arm. He told me surgery would be best and got it done the next day. Very little pain and terrific alignment of the hardware. AWESOME DOCTOR
