Dr. Aliphas is extremely kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. I was seen within 5 minutes of entering the office, and the office manager was pleasant and professional. Dr. Aliphas took time to listen and understand my concerns and was very detailed in explaining why I was experiencing my symptoms. He never seemed like time was an issue. He was reassuring and patient and I am so glad I found this practice!

September 30, 2013Initials hidden
He was very knowledgeable, and very right on in his treatment. The only thing I would recommend is that the front office look neater. It was a disaster, and there were 4 people working back there, it made me nervous because I was new, and wondered if the doctor would be like the office workers- they were friendly, but they need to spend time making their workplace neater.
