Everyone at the medical center north was professional, and helpful. The times I have seen Dr. Alstadt, I was seen in time, and the office is very efficient. His nurse, Kristen(?) is always very helpful, asks appropriate questions, and provides answers easy to understand. The office runs well, and responds in a timely manner when I have needed help.

Dr Alstadt was awesome, the work I had done was very hard to recover but I'm my back hasn't felt this good in probably over 20+ years. If needed I would not hesitate one second if I needed to be seen, I would recommend him to anyone needing that kind of care
