How likely are you to recommend Dr. Alred?
I stumbled onto Dr. Alred 15 years ago as a diabetic. She has see me through mulaytiple crisises including stroke. One of her outstanding characteristics is taking the time to really listen to yocauu and talk with you before diagnosis and treatment. This sometimes causes long waits in reception, but is well worth it. Her diagnoses have for me have always been right dead on. Mayo Clinic loves her referrals because her patient workups are always so thorough.
