Dr. Alyson Fincke Axelrod

I could not ask for a better doctor than Dr. Axelrod. She’s very talented in her respective field. A professional that will treat you like a dear old friend. She cares. She’s a great listener, never rushed yet super efficient. She is thorough, informative, a quick forward thinker, with a warm and kind personality. Dr Axelrod has taken such good care of my mind and body. I am truly grateful to have her on my side. I have various issues with lower back, discs & spinal stenosis. I had my first epidural two days ago and as reluctant as I was about it, it was then next viable step I had decided to take. She took her time and had me at ease through the process. She loves what she does and it shines through her. I trust her tremendously. So will you. -Elise M

I cannot say enough about Dr. Axelrod. I was in extreme pain from a disc problem. She diagnosed and treated it perfectly. I am now pain free100% cured. You will not find a smarter or more professional doctor. And besides all that she is an extremely nice person.

Dr Axelrod is an outstanding physician. She is caring and extremely thorough in finding the very best outcomes for her patients. I only rate her at five stars because there is no ten star option.

I only rate Dr Axelrod 5 stars because there is no 10 star option. She is a caring, knowledgeable physician, who always seeks the best outcomes for her patients.

Dr. Axelrod is absolutely amazing. She truly takes the time to listen to and understand your concerns. She is very patient. She provides you many options for treatment. I was in constant pain before seeing Dr. Axelrod, but she developed a plan to treat my neck and back pain that has made all the difference in the world!! She really is the best!!!

Dr. Axelrod gave me another neck injection for my stiff neck. She is kind, considerate, knowledgeable and above all most professional with a side of humor. Which in her profession is needed. It helps put her patients at ease. A big thank you to Dr. Axelrod and her staff for all their care, much appreciated. Bill Mitchell

Everybody was very helpful and kind esp Dr Axelrod. She explained the result of my xray very clearly

Dr. Axelrod is a warm and caring physician who listens to her patient, reviews tests and images, conducts a careful hands-on exam, then discusses her findings in a way her patient can understand. Even on the first visit we could sense her competence, which was confirmed by the quality of her treatment.

Dr Axelrod is thoughtful and caring; however, in my case I sought treatment to my neck and back due to an auto accident. I had been complaining of constant pain in my neck and back literally since the moment of impact. She did not order any MRIs, she did refer me to a Neurologist as I had also suffered a head impact during the accident and prescribed therapy to relieve some of the pain in my neck and back because she noted I was not walking without pain. The first issue I had was the insurance company denied certifying the prescribed therapy because of a problem with the doctor's notes, when I called Rothman's EHT office where I had been seen to follow up WRT notes I was told I had never been seen by Dr Axelrod and there were no doctor's notes. Shortly thereafter I did receive two bills for my visit with Dr Axelrod; one from Rothman and one from a Reccon Orthopedics in Philadelphia for my visit. So obviously the billing portion that was triggered by my visit worked. She also saw my son who was in the same accident and prescribed a pain med for one of us, but something got confused in the order to the pharmacy because when we went to pick it up, the prescription was in the other's name who had not gotten a prescription from her. The Neurologist she referred me to in the Galloway area also never returned my calls, I was finally seen elsewhere for those issues. She did not note anything extraordinary on my return visit and I relayed to her the issues WRT prescription and notes. Long story short, my neck and back which is what I saw Dr Axelrod for continued to get worse, accompanied by increasing numbness and partial paralysis of my left arm/hand. I was seen elsewhere and closer to home and MRIs were finally ordered, it was determined I had four herniated discs in my neck. My lower back also continued to worsen and that was determined to have two herniated discs. These all required additional treatments. I saw other doctors at Rothman for other injuries sustained in the accident and was satisfied with my treatment, I have to say specific to my back and neck I had consistently complained of the same issues getting increasingly worse since the accident and was very disappointed she did not at least order an MRI and investigate further to try and identify where the pain was coming from, I genuinely believe a lot of the subsequent pain (which at one point became agony) I suffered would have been avoided.

What a thoughtful and down to earth physiatrist. Listened and helped me with my back.
