Dr. Alois Joseph Binder, MD

Dr. Bender took care of my broken ankle that I had broke in three places I was walking within 2 days after surgery no pain did knee pain medicine that's experience of any doctor I've been to

I love going to going yo him, but I hate having to go and see his nurse Meghan she's extremely rude and difficult all the time!! That's one of the reasons why I wouldn't . The front office is very difficult also. When you go there but television is so loud you can't even hear yourself think!! Too bad cuz she's a great doctor and a great listener. Anybody will be falling in love with his manners and the way that she deals with his patients I wish you didn't have that women there and I would be very happy and me and a lot of other patients that were talking in the front room feel the same way. He is only reason why I gave it 4 stars

My very first visit with this doctor was several years ago when I just knew that I was going to have to have a knee replacement. My style is to tease or joke with a doctor to "feel them out" as to many important human qualities. He took that ball and scored immediately, great sense of humor, witty come backs, humanitarian qualities, strong religious beliefs, good education and excellent experiences. The exam ended with my being told BY A SURGEON that I do not need surgery, all that I needed was some self induced physical therapy. Upon my next encounter, I had already been told by my internist and a pain doctor, that I was in need of a hip replacement surgery. After his own x-ray and diagnosis, he agreed. We set a surgery date, which had to be postponed due to a hernia which decided to become prevalent on the night before my scheduled hip replacement. I think he was as disappointed as I was, for he knew I was already at the top of my pain threshold, as he had instructed me months… before that I was too heavy for the surgery and I needed to lose a lot of weight (over 100 pounds). The surgery was delayed 6 more weeks which seemed as an eternity. During surgery, unbeknown to me, he ran into a serious problem. I not only had worn out the ball portion of my hip but also the pelvic ridge bone and he had nothing to hold the new socket secure. Medical textbooks told him to sew me back up and let me live the rest of my life without a hip. Yet, as he told me after the surgery, "The Great Physician" gave him an idea, to cut off what was left of the ball (less than 1/2 inch, cut that piece in half, which created a near perfect ridge bone arch, all he had to do was buff it off, and attach it to each side of the pelvic arch with two small s/s screws...the socket snapped in place as normal, to which he attached it with the usual s/s screws that come with the kit, and I had a new hip. Not many doctors can think on their feet like this one, nor take any type of risk that is not textbook. Truly, God has blessed this doctor with a bit more common sense than most.

Bedside manner is fantastic. Explains everything. Never makes you feel that he is in a rush to complete the visit. Well worth the wait to see him. Great & caring Doctor.
