“Dr. Alley provided unparalleled skill matched with a Yeomans work effort. I was seen on short notice, had a necessary procedure scheduled promptly. I got treated with excellent surgical skill, and my post-surgical care got managed with focus and empathy. I am a few months removed from knee surgery and am stronger than when I went in. All of this is attributable to Dr. Alley and his team.”

“Today was a very professional and informative visit. I arrived for Dr. Alley to check a knee that had flared up a few times in the past months. This past weekend I ended up with a visit to the emergency room due to an infection that was in my other knee. Dr. Alley knew nothing about my infected knee. He Examined my right knee that I was there to ask about my left knee. I explained to him about the infection. He followed by examining my left knee and making sure it was ok/improving. He then told/showed me how to care for it thoroughly. It was a great visit!”

“Dr. Alley was great in the Urgent Care, as was the person who put on my cast. Both provided information I did not receive during my previous experiences with your facility that have made it much easier to deal with my injury and recovery. Dr. Alley was also informative during my subsequent visit. I also appreciate his sense of humor. Your facility itself (both Urgent Care and the clinic itself) both treated me well; they were polite and responsive, I got in to see someone very quickly, and the checkout process was smooth as well.”
