“I love Dr Alpert. I went to him as a second opinion but when I met him, I love his "bedside manner" , he told me options, out comes, he even knew what insurance will cover, so now he's my #1., my knee feels better just from experience with him, the office and his staff”

Dr. Alpert agreed with my analysis and verified the CT scan. He then referred me to a pain specialist.

I was looking for a second opinion. Dr Alpert was great. I did see his PA prior but he spent a lot of time with me. Was very informative, very knowledgable and I felt so at ease. I actually felt relieved where as I was not sure about my future options with my original doctor. My otiginal Dr. did not spend any time with me. I saw his PA more. So I I definitely want Dr Alpert to be my doctor.
February 18, 2026Rosemarie M.Verified patient
Everything went perfectly! I was greeted immediately by staff at desk. My paperwork was already on record and I no other details to provide. I was greeted in a warm and friendly manner by all staff and PA, and they showed care and concern for how I was currently feeling. My appointment was for a scheduled cortisone shot and I was given the option of having it administered by the PT or by Dr. Alpert.
January 29, 2026Melissa W.Verified patient

Even though was their first day in their new location, once I was called in, it was run like a well-oiled machine. First seen by nurse. Then x-ray tech. Then PA. Then the doctor. Dr. Alpert is a great doctor with a supportive medical staff.

Dr. Alpert assured me, after looking at my X-rays, assured me I wouldn’t need a knee replacement. I went in with a very painful knee. Walked out pain free after the cortisone shot. Very pleased.

December 2, 2023Karen B.Verified patient
Dr Alpert , on January 20th , 1996 , performed an emergency operation on my broken ankle in Huntington Hospital. I had fallen down the stairs in my home. I broke both ankles. The right ankle was just a fracture, but my left ankle was broken, and my foot turned around. He had to put a plate and 11 screws in my ankle. He continued to treat me, and nearly 20 years later, in January 2016, he assisted in putting in a new ankle. After 20 years, wearing a boot that measured from my knee to the bottom of my ankle, I was able to walk normally and without pain. No more boot!!! I have had problems with my knees, and he has continued to treat me for this problem. In the near future, he will be performing a knee replacement on the right knee. I am now 80 years old, and I expect to be able to go back to work after the operation. He is AMAZING!!!!. Words can not truly explain what I think about Dr. Alpert. I thank God for putting him into my life. Thank you, Dr. Alpert!!!

All of the office staff were friendly, helpful and made me feel comfortable and respected. Dr. Alpert’s assistant was professional, friendly, thorough, listened and shared information with me.
Dr. Alpert was very kind, professional, made me feel comfortable, valued, explained things to me, answered my questions and we decided on next steps. He was reassuring and welcomed any contact with their office, if I needed, in the future.
