As a physician myself, Dr Adler is who i chose for my mother when she needed an oncologist, and he is whom i frequently choose to send my own patients to. He is compassionate and bright and I have complete confidence in his judgement

I have to strongly disagree with some of the negative reviews. I’ve seen Dr. Adler for over ten years. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in many areas. Even other physicians who have received his notes commented on his handling of my issues. A lot of people want someone they can talk to who o can answer their questions in an intelligent, informed way. Well, that’s Dr Adler.

Dr Adler is one of the most knowledgeable and caring physicians I have ever had. He is thorough, patient, and takes his time to find the best treatment options for you. I am so glad he is my hematologist! I thank GOD for him. He has used him to help save my life several times.If only he could be cloned, it would be a better world medically.
