    One of the better doctors I have experienced at your facility
  • Jun, 14 2024
    Very comfortable with Dr. Adler. Excellent communication. Straightforward and kind. I've been doing much better under his care and while osteoarthritis can't be cured I've been able to manage knee pain by following his recommendations.

  • Jun, 5 2024
    Dr Adler was unrushed, focused and very clear. This is becoming a rare commodity is the health care system. I drove 6 hours round trip to see Dr Adler when there is a medical facility within 10 minutes of my home in Wenatchee. I will gladly do the same in the future. Thanks to Dr Adler, the staff and administration for the level of care provided.

    Dr Adler was on top of my problems. I'm seeing him for several things knees and hip. He allowed me to cover the all my needs and answered my questions as how I should go about getting everything done that would be the best to ensure that the least problems

    When doctor came into the room - I had never met him before - he immediately started talking very very quickly about various treatment options. He talked over me several times. It was difficult for me to get my questions asked. He had a spiel and was focused on delivering it. Because of this the questions I intended to ask - of which there were several - simply flew out of my mind. That was extremely disappointing as it can be hard to find time for questions during medical appointments due to the relatively short appointment slots per patient and the time between appointments.On the other hand, the info the doc did provide was comprehensive & easy to understand. Having seen several ortho physicians, Dr. Adler showed me an important explanatory x-ray from a different perspective that no other ortho doc had shown me. And he did finally slow down enough for me to ask the questions I did remember. A mixed bag. I have now met 7 doctors that work at MultiCare. I think 3 of them are excellent, 2 of them are among the worst I've ever seen, and 2, including Doctor Adler are sort of in the middle.

  • Apr, 3 2024
    Since my bileteral knee replacement 7 years ago I feel this team is amazing. I loved my care!. And recommend to anyone with orthopedic concerns. Best results.
  • Mar, 8 2024
    Dr. Adler did an exceptional job of explaining Risks, benefits, available, treatments, and guiding may and decisions after he had done his exam .very thorough. I've worked in healthcare for 30 years as an RN I know how pressed these physicians are, and he was still able to really engage me in the plan of care.
  • Mar, 8 2024
    Doctor was professional and courteous. Answered all of my questions and set a foundation of trust.
  • Mar, 1 2024
    Dr Adler's assistants, Ben and Kaney were excellent, listened, clarified the reasons for my visit.Dr. Adler replace my knee joint in 2020 and did an outstanding job. I have great confidence in him. He really knows the prosthetic joints extremely well. And is good at explanations.
  • Mar, 1 2024
    I have been to Dr Adler before and was very pleased with my care. Today seemed like an off day for him.
  • Feb, 29 2024
    The doctor needs an MRI to find out what is wrong with my right hip
  • Feb, 28 2024
    When my surgery was cancelled 10/31 (after I had already checked In), Dr. Adler changed his schedule to get me in 11/3 so I didn't have to wait until January or later. I have already recommended him to people.
  • Feb, 25 2024
    Dr. Adler has always been - in no particular order - amiable, attentive, considerate, courteous, empathetic, inclusive, patient, professional, and thorough, during these past few years of my being his patient.
  • Feb, 23 2024
    Dr. Steed was an exceptionally good communicator and listener and was extremely helpful in giving me in-depth information for next steps thinking and planning. I was fortunate to have met him. He gave me more helpful information than I have ever received from another orthopedist He gave me the most helpful information I have ever received from an orthopedist. Thank you, Dr. Steed

    Dr. Adler and his staff are always friendly and helpful.
  • Feb, 20 2024
    The visit was the best Orthopedic visit that I have experienced.
  • Feb, 20 2024
    It seemed like the doctor was trying to be extremely efficient almost rushed. It felt kind of mechanical and I did not feel like I got any clarity of my situation. Probably because he cannot tell exactly what is going on with my body.
  • Jan, 31 2024
    Only suggestion is for Dr Adler to slow down. His extremely rapid talking is challenging as he's giving lots of information in rapid fire . I did feel rushed as if he was just moving on as quickly as he could. However he was friendly, informative, and did allow for questions and clarification.
  • Jan, 28 2024
    Dr adler is professional, respectful, very knowledgeable and personable.Dr adler talks "with" you, not "at" you.
  • Jan, 28 2024
    Dr Adler obviously knows his stuff, however has a coldness and indifference when rattling off information for me to consider. Talked 100 miles per hour, no graphics (hanging on the wall) or specific information I needed to make an Irreparable decision.
  • Jan, 19 2024
    The doctor listened to my concerns about how I wasn't related at Allenmore during my hospital stay. I had no real concerns about my own health or recovery.
  • Jan, 11 2024
    He was efficient and went through my symptoms and I felt honest about all the options I have in treating my problem.
  • Jan, 7 2024
    It felt like he has just given up on providing anything (including hope) in my very poor recovery from the surgery he performed.
  • Jan, 3 2024
    I like that Dr Adler displays the before and recent X-rays to demonstrate stability of prior joint surgeries and to note changes in joint that hurts.
  • Oct, 27 2023
    Dr. Adler is one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of working with.
  • Oct, 23 2023
    Previously Dr had told me I had many options for my knee for injections only gave me 1 injection. It didn't help. Then told me there was only one other expensive $900 option that insurance didn't cover which isn't true. Did not offer anything else. Only to tell me to get another opinion from someone else. Because he didn't know what else to do. After keeping me waiting in the room for almost an hour. He offered me a knee brace after keeping me in the room for almost an hour.
  • Oct, 14 2023
    Dr. Adler was efficient and forthright. He seemed to hear me about wanting to dance after Total Hip Replacement. I do hope he understood what the form of dancing I do involves (jumping and hopping), as he seemed to feel it was not a concern. There was one question I did not remember to ask, but I have submitted it on MyChart and hope we can deal with it that way.
  • Oct, 13 2023
    Doctor Adler communicated very well. He explained what he saw in the X-rays and steps to take to improve my condition. It was obvious he custom taylored his diagnosis with his expertise. He did not minimize my condition and had showed serious concern. I felt as thought he listened carefully and gave me good information.
  • Oct, 13 2023
    Doctor listened, made eye contact and gave me time to tell my story
  • Oct, 11 2023
    This was a very good visit. Would definitely recommend Dr. Adler.
  • Sep, 22 2023
    Dr. Adler was recommended to me from a friend that had a past surgery with Dr. Adler. He met my expectations and more.
  • Sep, 20 2023
    Excellent doctor. Dr Adler's advice (I followed It) from my first visit over a year ago has been a game changer in how I feel. Very pleased with him
