Terrible Doctor! I wish I never took my daughter to see him. He not only failed to help her, but he caused her so much pain & frustration. Alessi is a total waste of time and has little or no idea what he's doing!

Please, Avoid Dr Alessi at all costs. My son saw Alessi for some minor issues, and not only did Alessi not help, he made the issue 10x worse. We spent almost a YEAR seeing him and Alessi treated my son like a guinea pig, feeding him medication after medication! How dare he call himself a professional!

Absolutely horrible at responding to his patients. I sent multiple emails requesting an appointment and was continuously ignored. Also left multiple voicemails and still nothing. Finally, received an incredibly rude email saying I never reached out and he does not want to work with me. I would never recommend this Dr. to anybody. Absolutely HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE experience. Whatever you do, pick another doctor.

Dr Alessi is the best Psychiatrist my daughter and I have ever had! Not only is he great with diagnosis and meds, but he is a lot of fun to talk to!

I am a former patient of Dr. Alessi and I can attest, he was horrible in both attitude and treatment. In short, I saw him as an adolescent for a year, during which time he fed me different drugs like candy. Many drugs had awful side affects...lethergy, dizzyness, thoughts of suicide. My parents saw me getting worse and I stopped seeing him. I can't stress this stress enough, don't see this Dr.
