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.

Disappointed – Nov 02, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Alley?
Very unfriendly and uncaring. Insisted on me coming in to change blood pressure meds although I have an immune disease. The corona virus would likely be a death sentence for me but he refused to call me anything in. I used him for 3 visits and he told me he preferred I find another Dr. for I had too many things wrong with me and he couldn't help me. Sorry excuse for a Dr. in my experience with him.

When my long-time doctor retired, I searched for another mature, older male doctor because I so missed my previous doctor who had seen me through various health issues, a divorce and my daughter's death. Dr. Alley did not disappoint. He is just as knowledgeable and caring as my previous doctor. I am so grateful and pleased to have found him.

Very caring doctor, he is wise and I think he treats me probably like he would for his own mother, and that is always what is best for every condition and symptom.
