Dr. Todd Alea, MD

Dr Alea and his office staff are professional, respectful and great at what they do. I have had multiple injections for my back. He is masterful at what he does. I have never not had relief from injections that he has given me. I was finally ready to have prp injection for lower back and sciatic pain. I feel like a new person. First time in 15 years I feel like I can move freely without level 10 for pain. Dr Alea listens to concerns, explains procedures and discusses options for treatment.

informative, professional and courteous

I saw Dr. Todd Alea for treatment based on his recommendation that I was a “perfect candidate” for the procedure. However, after the treatment, it became clear that he did not take the necessary steps to order updated scans or reports to accurately assess my condition before administering the treatment. I had to be the one to recommend an updated MRI after the treatment did not work.Unfortunately, my condition had progressed further than what the treatment was designed to address, and the procedure was ultimately ineffective. Had Dr. Alea done his due diligence by getting the updated scans, it’s likely we would have determined that the treatment was not suitable for me.I was charged for the treatment despite this oversight, and I feel it could have been avoided with more thorough evaluation. I recommend that patients ask their medical history is fully assessed before proceeding with treatment here. He also accused me lying about it not working. Horrible for a Dr. to do. Make sure you request any updated imaging you may need as he will not recommend it himself. He will only do an x-ray and charge you for this and he will gladly take your money without really caring how advanced your condition may be.

I was very satisfied.

I came in January 2016, on crutches. Walking was extremely painful. Had stem cell shots in both knees and lower back & prp injections later. After a year, I can say, no pain, I walk well, I can even run to get out of the rain when I need to! This is not a fast process, it takes time to let it work. But it sincerely did work for me. I had one bad knee I didn't want surgery on and the other knee had an arthroscopic surgery done, that after a year still was painful. It's all good now! Carol Banker
