Alexander Adler
DO
My priority as a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation physician is to restore function for individuals. I am an active person who participates in many sports and loves living life via a wide range of activities. Many of us have different passions that make us feel whole. I strive to help individuals return to their activities of daily living and teach them how to prevent setbacks. The injury and recovery process is a variable experience. I have gone through it several times with a multitude of injuries over the years. Prioritizing listening, communication, and teamwork helps turn an individual's ailment into recovery and a return to normalcy.
