More than 1 year agoSantiago O.Verified patient
Excellent orthopedic doctor. Early appointments are best between 7 and 8 am becsuse he has so many patients that he gets backed up later in the morning. Also, this site was very easy to use and much faster than calling and waiting for someone to come on th he line to set up an appointment.
October 15, 2019Debra K.Verified patient
Dr. Alost was very professional, great bedside manners. Explained everything to me. He was not in a rush to get on to his next patient. He made sure i knew everything that was going on with my injury. I highly recommend him.

Dr Alost is the best. He listens attentively and speaks both English and Spanish. He did a complete exam and Xrays on my mother. I strongly recommend him to anyone needing an Orthopedic surgeon.

I saw Dr. Alost to get a second opinion regarding me injury and I'm so glad I did. He was straight and to the point and saved me many headaches!
September 12, 2017Initials hidden
Dr. Alost is very knowledgeable but needs better communication skills with his staff. He needs to not snap at them in front of patients. He also needs to spend a few more minutes with the patients instead of just rushing you out.

No complaint from Dr. Alost, it's just that I have to wait for more than an hour, that should not be had to happen. It's way to much time every time I see this Doctor.

I was 10 minutes late due to traffic congestion-it's a very busy practice. Everyone was courteous. He was straight to the point and honest. He couldn't do anything about my situation but it never hurts to ask and I would recommend him.

October 25, 2016Dennis B.Verified patient
I went to Dr. Alost for a second opinion re: my last knee replacement. I have not been able to bend it even with physical therapy. He was very kind in his explanation and assured me that my actual knee replacement was fine, but I needed a manipulation to bend my knee to get me back to full use. I am excited because my surgery will be in 10 days -- no long wait! Thank you!!!

Dr Alost is great it's just the waiting that is hard to understand. You have a 12:45 appointment but aren't seen until after 2pm. Just very frustrating when you work and lose so much time.
