"Dr Adler is the best gastroenterologist!!!"
"Was able to get a immediate appointment for a gastro intestinal problem I was experiencing. His medical diagnosis of my issues was explained in terms that I could easily understand. He then prescribed medications to put me on the right track and follow up care."
"Dr. Adler is outstanding in all respects. I would highly recommend him to others."
"Dr. Adler was most accommodating. I was originally sceduled at another facility but it was a long way away and I was anxious to get in to see a gastroenterologist. I had a positive test indicating the possibility of cancer. My cardiologist recommended him and I was scheduled to see him the next day. He and his staff are wonderful. They carefully explain everything. Which helps allay a patient's apprehensions. My procedure went very well and I am most grateful. If you have a need of a gastroenterologist he is the man. Please do not hesitate. I am a nurse and have dealt with many physicians over the years and I really like and respect him."
"This was my first colonoscopy experience, but at 57 I knew I needed it done. I had some trepidation going into the whole process, but mostly uncertainty. But after leaving Dr Adler's office I was pretty amazed at how easy it all was. From the time I walked in to a warm and genuine greeting from one of the nurses (I think her name was Jackie) to the time I walked out a couple of hours later, it was stress-free, painless, and comfortable. Including the front desk person and Dr Adler I believe there were five people I interacted with during the procedure. Each of them was very helpful, making me comfortable and putting my mind at ease. When I was brought into the room for the procedure, the nurse anesthetist (Nikki or Nicole) explain what she would be doing, and after administering the anesthesia I think I was out within 30 seconds and "came to" after a very deep and satisfying sleep. There were no complications during the procedure, images were shown of a few polyps that were found, and I was told that I would get news of the test results soon afterward. While some people have reported being a bit loopy afterward, I felt no odd side effects and had a pretty normal day from there on. They asked if I wanted a follow-up "well-being check" which I declined, since everything had gone so well. The office did follow up with a phone call with tested results in a reasonable time. In summary, my experience with Dr. Adler and his staff was really "first rate.""
"Dr. Adler is a wonderful doctor and is very caring and supportive of his patients. He always seems to calm any anxiety causing symptoms that occur. I have been under his care for years and have been functioning as a normal person. Prior years I experienced many uncomfortable symptoms. Now I am doing well."
"Dr Adler’s verbal approach is very calming. He took the time before and after the procedure to explain everything. The people in his office are very kind along with all the professionals that helped during the procedure. Everyone at the center helped make something that one dreads a little more comfortable."
"On time, professional, courteous and safe environment."
"Very professional and concerned."
"My husband had a wonderful experience. Dr. Adler is an amazing doctor ... very experienced and professional but personable as well!! Wonderful doctor for people who have anxiety. He is an amazing person w a wonderful bedside manner"
"I’ve been with Dr Adler about 30 years, which clearly speaks to my faith in him and his effectiveness as a physician. I was encouraged to change to a gastroenterologist in the same system as my other doctors, but all this did was prove how on spot Dr. Adler is for meeting my needs and prescribing an effective solution to whatever problem needs addressing. I recommend him so highly that every member of my family uses him. Simply said, knows his stuff."
