Excellent in all areas. Very professional and caring. Dr. Alderink listened to my concerns. When she was going to do/check anything about/on me, she explained just what she was going to do first. I initially went to see her with End-Stage COPD, underweight and suspecting the end was not too far off. Not only did Dr. Alderink change me to a better inhaler, she cared for additional concerns of mine. Another plus, she is highly intelligent and so very young. Not fresh out of the classroom, but people & health focused.

I'm not one to go to Dr's they make me nervous but Dr Alderink makes you feel at ease she's very kind, listen to you doesn't rush to get through your appointment she general cares about your health, and she's not shy to have tests done to get to the bottom of problems so you don't have to keep coming back and back.
