Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure.

If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Patients consistently praise Dr. Jason Alder for his thorough, patient-centered communication style. The vast majority of reviews highlight how he takes time to explain MRI and X-ray results in clear, understandable language, walks patients through diagnoses, and lays out multiple treatment options—often favoring conservative approaches before recommending surgery. Reviewers frequently describe him as knowledgeable, professional, personable, and caring, noting that he answers all questions without rushing or pressuring patients into decisions. Many also praise his supportive office staff and physician assistants, and numerous patients who underwent surgery with him report excellent outcomes, significant pain relief, and strong post-operative follow-up, with several saying they would highly recommend him to family and friends.
Patients also share
A small number of reviews point to areas for improvement. One review mentioned feeling rushed during a visit and that questions or concerns weren't solicited, while another noted the office was extremely busy, though the doctor still made time to listen. A couple of patients mentioned wishing testing and scheduling could move faster. One review expressed dissatisfaction that post-surgical MRI results and outcomes were not fully explained. These comments appear to be isolated instances rather than a pattern, as they are vastly outnumbered by positive feedback on the same aspects (thoroughness, pacing, and communication).
