Alpert Michelle E, MD

Dr. Alpert is great. She’s attentive, professional, kind and an expert through and through. When you speak she listens and I can tell from the inquisitive look on her face as I talk that she’s coming up with solutions/​suggestions. My office visits have always been pleasant and precise, which I highly value. I highly recommend her services!

I have been seeing Dr. Alpert for many years. She knows her stuff, especially when it comes to thyroid conditions, hormones and adrenals. She is an out– of –the box thinker and will test and investigate issues that other doctors won’t. She practices both Integrative and Western medicine and knows when each is appropriate. Her answer is rarely to write a script before throughly testing and investigating an issue. I would be remiss not to mention Nelson, who is wonderful and works in the IV room. Brooke who works the front desk and much more, is terrific and always so helpful. The office would not be the same without her.

I have known Michelle for 10 years. I found her via an advertisement in a health magazine and from my very first visit I knew I had found the best!
Her whole practice has a warm, friendly, family type atmosphere and you always feel welcome and at ease when you go there.
You never feel rushed in a consultation with her and she never takes a condescending tone with you as so many others in her profession do.
I can honestly say I have never found a more attentive and helpful doctor (and that includes my time in the UK).
I have recommended Michelle to many people and will continue to do so without hesitation.

JUST TO CLARIFY: Dr. Alpert is an osteopath. This means she is a medical doctor (an M.D.) who has additional training in osteopathy. This makes her an M.D.-plus, not an «alternative» to an M.D.
Dr. Alpert is a sweetie. She is also a one-​of-​a-​kind physician in this day of conveyor-​belt, insurance-​driven, robotic doctors who can only write a prescription as they run from room to room. Dr. Alpert has created a patient-​centered, holistic practice in which YOU come first. You may have to wait a bit for your appointment, but when you get in the office with Dr. Alpert you have her full attention for as long as you need it. She listens, she thinks, she asks questions, she looks you in the eye. She has tremendous knowledge in mainstream, Western medicine, orthomolecular medicine (the use of vitamins and supplements), Eastern medicine (she practices acupuncture) and nutrition. She will work with you until you are satisfied that your problem has been resolved, and she will do what she can to keep you on track. Because of her belief in the natural approach, she will encourage and support you to resolve your health conditions through diet, supplements and lifestyle changes, but she’ll never shove an opinion down your throat.
Here’s something novel: when she doesn’t know the answer to something, she says «I don’t know.» She looks up things in her books, or says call me tomorrow, I’ll do some research. If she still doesn’t know, she’ll send you for tests or to another doctor who’s an expert in the area of your specific problem. This makes me trust her more, because I know I’m not getting the runaround. If, God forbid, I’m ever seriously ill, I will hope that Dr. Alpert is still my doctor, because I can think of no better ally in the medical profession than this gifted, down-​to-​earth healer.

Dr. Alpert is by far one of the best doctors I’ve seen.
I came across her when searching for a highly recommended osteopath in NYC.
In minutes of my exam she uncovered a dietary intolerance that I’ve been unknowingly dealing with for a decade. She was thorough, meticulous and a great listener. She took her time which is unfortunately increasingly uncommon in doctors I’ve seen lately in the U.S. She suggested a series of alternative supplements and books and gave me some real insight in to my body and ways to continue to lead a healthy life. Very helpful and warm office staff as well. I look forward to continuing to see her.

I was suffering from arthritis at age 35 and I was showing high levels of mercury in my bloodstream. Dr. Alpert recommended I get my teeth checked for mercury gas, (i had amalgam fillings). Long story short, I had all my amalgam removed and no longer have any arthritis pain. I owe this all to Dr. Alpert.

Dr. Alpert is actually an Osteopath.
I was at a loss as to how to fix my extreme fatigue and losing battle with an autoimmune disease. she is so smart, a great listener, and has many unique and useful ideas. She is currently treating me and I will go out of my way to continue seeing her because she’s made a real difference in how i feel. her office staff are very friendly also.
