Due to long term lower back issues occasionally my right leg goes numb causing me to fall. That is…read morewhat happened late in January 2022. After being misdiagnosed by a different physician as just having a bad sprain - and walking on that leg for about 3 weeks - I was referred to Dr T who, after exam and xrays discovered that I had a broken fibula. After reviewing the pros and cons of treatment surgery was scheduled fir the next day. I met Dr T at a surgery center (for outpatient surgery) and he performed surgery on my leg to repair the broken bone. I ended up with a plate and 9 screws in my leg and yes - that is as nasty as it sounds. I have seen Dr T several times for follow ups and post surgical evaluations. He is extremely personable and always takes the time to answer all of my questions. His office staff at this location are also very friendly and competent. Worthy of special mention is his Medical Secretary Chloie who is a truly magnificent communicator and is extremely efficient in getting me all the report copies I request. I highly recommend Dr T to anyone who needs orthopedic surgery and or evaluation.

He makes you feel very at ease and listens very closely to your concerns. He is a very skilled doctor and very caring. He took me to his computer screen and showed me my knee. He explained everything about my knee in detail and told me exactly what I was looking at, which was great because after 3-4 months of seeing other doctors, having x-rays, MRIs, Urgent Care's, I really hadn't seen this before. I have a torn meniscus, a torn ACL which is pretty much useless 2 fractures and a Baker's cyst. He made sure I was out of pain and we discussed a plan of action. He did not rush me, and this is one of the main complaints I have about almost all doctors nowadays. He is from the old school and a master at his profession. I highly recommend him.

My friend had recent shoulder surgery and absolutely LOVES Dr. Alley...and through her connection, I got an appointment right away. He also surrounds himself with a phenomenal, efficient and friendly staff. Dr. Alley spent an extraordinary amount of time with me during our initial consultation. He is an orthopedic surgeon...and quite the "mechanic". But...he's also personable, kind and has a great sense of humor. He specializes in shoulders and knees and performed my ACL reconstruction surgery 2 years ago. Everything went exactly as planned and I'm back to my many activities with no issues. Insurance covered everything. I refer everyone that I know to Dr. Alley. If you need to see an orthopedist, pay him a visit.

I called the Bone Health Center's department with the Bone & Joint center in Albany to speak to…read moresomeone about scheduling an appointment with an endocrinologist specialist. I was transferred to a woman named Julie whose voicemail said that she was either with a patient or in clinic. I left a message for a call back. Finally got a return call the next business day and Julie scheduled a telephone appointment with me for July 16th at 1:00pm. After waiting several hours, I never got that call. I called her back on July 17th and left her a message regarding the call I never received. When she returned my call, I asked her what happened to our scheduled call. Her response was that she went home sick. Rather than an apology, she stated again that she was sick and went home. Her next comment was "I don't call from my home to cancel appointments because I don't get paid for it". She called me the following week to schedule another phone conference for July 22nd. During this conversation, Julie stated several times that the doctor does not appreciate patients not calling in to cancel appointments and that she herself would get into trouble if a cancellation was not called in. I proceeded to ask for a time that we could have our telephone appointment on the 22nd and she could not confirm. I stated several times that I needed to know a timeframe. Finally, she agreed to "maybe 9:00". I did receive her call at 9:00am. Because I was unsure of the type of person I was dealing with, I had my husband present with me to listen in on the call. I completed my medical background with her and during this call, she gave me a November 9th appointment with an endocrinologist (out of respect for the doctor, I will not mention her name here) at Albany Medical. Julie mentioned again several times during the call that the doctor did not appreciate folks not calling to cancel appointments. Julie then provided me with her email address so that I could forward to her additional medical documentation which I did. I requested that she confirm with me that she received my emails. The morning of July 24th, I received notification that both emails were undelivered. I called Julie regarding the undelivered emails and she insisted that she gave me the correct email address. Finally she agreed that it was wrong, so she provided me with anther email address. While I was trying to relay back to her the correct email address she gave me, she insisted on interrupting me. I asked her several time to please let me talk. She then proceeded to tell me that from the very beginning, I was mean to her. She decided she was going to intimidate me by saying she was going to talk to the doctor about me. It made no difference to me who she was going to speak to, so I told her to take me off the appointment schedule and I hung up. I then called the Bone and Joint Center and I cancelled my November 9th appointment at 3:00pm with the doctor. I verified again on July 27th that this appointment was indeed cancelled, and of course it was. Because Julie was at fault from the start, she tried to intimidate and control the conversation. I find it disturbing that it was okay for Julie to not call and cancel my appointment with her, but it was okay for her to state on several occasions that the doctor gets upset with clients who do not cancel appointments. At this juncture, I have decided to seek medical treatment with another provider. If this is the best that the Bone & Joint Center can do when it comes to hiring folks to schedule appointments with their Bone Health Clinic, then I feel sorry for your clients who are in need of these services.
