Dr. Alford preformed surgery on my ankle in May 2024. I have some pain in my ankle that has started recently. He was attentive and knowledgeable. He made suggestions for next steps. He is an absolutely amazing doctor. I would not trust anyone else with my health. He knows my history and is amazing. Keep up the great work.

I recently had my first visit with Dr. David Wiley Alford at SBJ Specialist for an issue with my ankle, and I cannot recommend him enough. I was quite nervous about the visit, but the entire experience, from the moment I checked in, was wonderful. The receptionist was very welcoming, and the nurses were so nice, which immediately helped ease my nerves. Dr. Alford has an incredible bedside manner. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain his thoughts on my ankle issue in plain English, and laid out a clear, detailed plan for treatment. He didn't rush me at all. I left the office feeling confident in his recommendations and secure in my care plan. The follow-up appointment was handled professionally, and I knew I was in good hands. If you need an orthopedic specialist who is both knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients, Dr. Alford is the one to see!" ~Sandra Denease Bryant~

My visit didn't leave my long in the waiting area which is a plus. When I saw the doctor, he treated me with concern and with a great bed side manor. Over all, I finally feel like some recognizes that I am not just whining, but have a real problem. Thank you Doctor Alford and staff.
