This was my first visit with Dr. Alessi. I have a somewhat complicated issue and long history. This is the first time that any provider has truly listened and understood the impact that my symptoms have on quality of life. She took a careful and detailed history and exam, and provided a very thoughtful analysis and explanation of what might be causing the symptoms, as well as a plan of care that provides hope for improvement! I feel that Dr. Alessi represents the highest standard of care and I am grateful for her expertise and care.

I have never had a doctor be so pstient and caring and listened to all my conditions. She took the time I would want to go back and have her help me even if if I travel an hour .

Dr. Alessi was amazing! She really listened to my concerns, explained why I was having certain symptoms, and involved me in decisions about my care. I left feeling understood for the first time in years after seeing other specialists who dismissed my symptoms. Plus, we have a great plan to help me recover. I'm so thankful for her!
