All my life I have had health issues but none as bad as with my third child. After her birth I began to get sick and could not get well, I went to doctor after doctor and they alljust ran the smae tests and told me I was just depressed when what was happening was my liver was dying from long dosages of tributline. If my OBGYN had not sent me to Dr. Alley I probably would have died. Since then he has saved me time and again and treats me like one of the family. In the waiting room all the patients that are his say the same thing. I owe him my life and my sanity I wish everyone had a doctor like him.

I have been with Dr. Alley since he took over for Dr. Nelson at St. Marys. I find Dr. Alley with all the qualities of the above ratings and even more. He has NEVER been unable to be compassionate with any of my problems. He has always given me a straight answer and believes in a Higher Power.
