Dr. Ginger Alred: BHC Shelby Internal Medicine 1010 1st Street North, Alabaster, AL 35007

"What terribly run practice. Appt time was 2:30 pm. Was seen by Dr. Alred at 4:45 pm. No apology. When I questioned the staff as to how far behind she was running, no one could tell me. They indicated this was normal wait time and said to me "just because your appointment was 2:30 pm, doesn't mean that's when you should expect to be seen by the doctor." How do other patients manage to take a half a day off work for what should be a one hour visit? If you have tons of time to kill and enjoy sitting in doctors offices unattended to, Dr Alred is perfect for you."

"I absolutely love Dr. Alred! She is so knowledgeable and very sweet. She cares about her patients and takes the time to listen to what the problem is. She never rushes through her appointments. I have been seeing her for a while now and I wouldn't trust any other doctor. Sometimes there is a wait - but it is SO worth it when you know that behind the door is a very loving doctor. Her staff is also very friendly. If I could give her 10 stars I would!"

"Wow. Dr. Alred is a rare find. She has taken so much time to get to know me, to understand my health concerns & issues, and starts with the facts. about me as a person. When something is wrong, she typically knows exactly what it is, but she doesn't play guessing games. She does the appropriate diagnostic testing and lab work to get to the bottom of what's going on. .I am a facts based person. She starts there and goes beyond by combining her vast knowledge and me as a person, to come to the right diagnosis. She genuinely does care about her patients. I don't know what I would do without her!"

"I absolutely LOVE Dr. Ginger Alred!!!! Not only does she love her patients, but she is very well equipped to take care of our Medical Needs. Dr. Alred is such a dedicated, determined, & driven doctor until she will not stop until she knows all of her patient's issues have been addressed & being taking care of. The one thing I love the most about Dr. Alred is when she reminds me in her own unique & comical way that I do not have it all figured out. After listening to my little theory, she'll chuckle to herself & say..."Wellll if you try it this way, don't you think it would be better for you?!?" I just politely pick up my notebook, ink pen, & start taking notes!!!! #gottaloveher #DrGtotallyrocks"

"She is very Rude! She was on call for my doctor, Dr. Gary Howard. I was sick as a fog. I explained to this idiot that I had been sick for about 3 days and earlier, I had left a message for the nurse to phone me in an antibiotic for my upper respiratory. Due to whatever reason the nurse did not call me back, so I called the on call number, when Dr. Alred called me back I told her if the coughing that I had been doing at night and that I was coughing up a greenish discharge and I needed a zpac. She told me to use over the counter meds. I told her I thought it was an infection because it did not get better after taking over the counter meds and Dr. Howard always gave me a zpac for inflammation that was greenish yellow. This heifer said, I am not Dr Howard, take otc meds and then hung up. I would never recommend this doctor to treat my dog! She is as very rude and unconcerned. Dr. Howard shows that he really cares about his patients and h is very caring towards them. I don’t know why he has this uncaring pardon to be on call for him! Do not go to this rude rude rude doctor!!!!!"
