Alvin Adler

Do NOT use him as a doctor. I feel like I got scammed from a doctor which feels so wrong and icky. I went just for an appointment to see what I could do about acne --- a cream or a medication or something -- and when he was examining my face he asked if he could pop a pimple and I was like sure. Little did i know that 5 second pimple pop would be $300 EACH. So now I have a $600 bill when all I wanted was a covered by insurance long term plan for acne. I feel disgusted and I don't know how that was legal, I was never told that that would cost me money, i thought it was a part of the exam.

Do not go to this doctor! I went to see him for my scalp issues and during my visit he saw I had acne on my face and took he took initiative and look at it. I did not ask him to take a look at it, nor he asked my permission nor he warned me that he will charge me for this as a separate acne visit!!! As well during my visit I felt a very weird vibe from him. In the beginning of my visit I felt he was looking at me and after he suggested since it is my first visit he can look for moles on my whole body. Obviously I would need to undress for that! My gut feeling was telling me that something is very fishy in here and I felt very uncomfortable!! He noticed that and said ok, maybe next time! Even getting my prescription was something not right, he particularly prescribed me a specific medicine, that was very expensive. The pharmacist concat him asked if I can use the exactly equivalent medicine just cheaper and he said no! The pharmacist was suspicious and said that he is involved in some kind of shady businesses. I ended up getting that expensive medicine which they had a some kind promotion going there you had to call and they shipped this medicine into my home for $50. He gave me this promotion/coupon. After I received the bill there was a little bit over $300 which I had to pay for acne visits!! Which I did not asked for nor I was warned I will be billed for it seperatly!!! I feel scammed and contacted BBB to make a complaint! Please be aware of him!

My appointment with Dr Adler was a waste of time. He looked at my almost healed rash on the back of my leg, diagnosed it as "dermatitis", and gave me a prescription for some cream. Never mind that the rash has reoccurred 4 times in the last 3 months with burning, itching and oozing blisters ( he never even asked me to describe what happens, only how I treated it,) and never mind that I have had these rashes every spring/early summer for the last 6 years. Upon departure, he suggested that perhaps I might have pennies or coins in my pocket that could irritate my skin. I do not have any pants with pockets at the back of my knees, and also told him that the rashes followed sun exposure. Needless to say, he seemed utterly uninterested in my problem, and I felt I dismissed in the 5 minutes he gave me.

Dr. Adler is very through and professional. I’ve seen him on at least 8 occasions and waited little more then 10-15 minutes at the most. As far as the comment from the first reviewer, Dr. Adler does what is an excellent practice doing a full body inspection annually. During this evaluation he marks all moles, etc to watch year to year. I would definitely recommend him if you care about to level of professionalism and care.

This doctor charged an exorbitant amount of money for a procedure he didn’t know how to do and needed help with doing. Following the procedure, my problem was not solved and I was told to return again. My issue was not solved so I came back only to be charged the same amount for the same procedure and yet again, nothing solved. I went to another doctor in hopes to solve my problem and it was fixed in one visit at about half the price. This is exact doctor you should not visit, dishonest and looking for cash.
