Dr. Alfers has been my therapist for the better part of 3 years and has been truly helpful. I came to him while I was struggling with ADD/ADHD issues at work. Within the first few sessions Cory quickly learned how to communicate with me and we were very rapidly able to put a plan together.
I never felt like he was passing any judgement, which made it very easy for me to speak my mind. Dr. Alfers was great and listened to me speak and was then very helpful in pointing out ways I approached being ADHD that I didn't even notice. He is very honest and not afraid to share his thoughts, but does so

I was recommended Dr. Cory Alfers in October of 2013 by a colleague of mine who was a patient of his. I have been been undergoing talk therapy with Dr. Alfers on a weekly basis since then. I would highly recommend him to any prospective patients.
Throughout all the time I have interacted with Dr. Alfers, he has conducted himself in a patient and friendly manner. He has responded to phone calls and emails in a timely fashion, and warned me in advance of any interruptions in our scheduling due to holidays, vacations, etc.
I believe one incident in particular exemplifies his courteousness toward

I've enjoyed my experience with Dr. Cory Alfers. Let me say that following through with the our sessions has helped me through one of the more challenging times of my life. Everyone is different but his program worked for me and therefore I'm motivated to write this review. Highlights: Easy to talk to, great listener and flexible.

I have been a patient of Dr. Alfers for close to three years. His practice specializes in ADD/ADHD for adults. A few quick things to note:
- Office location is metro accessible and centrally located
- Getting appointments after the initial examinations is really easy and fast. I have gotten same day appointments without any issues.
- He is willing to work with you on selecting the best treatment plan.
- You have to pay for the sessions out of pocket so you will have to file the claims yourself. It is the case for a majority of therapists these days
I am not sure there is much else to say but

Dr. Alfers is great! I found him after my primary care Physician advised me that my ADD assessment was over 20 years old and asked me to speak to a specialist before continuing to prescribe my very outdated meds. I found Dr. Alfers on Google and made and appointment.
Let me stop my review here and say, if you are looking for a doctor who will tell you what you want to hear, or blindly prescribe the medication you are currently on, look elsewhere. If you want a professional who will give you an objective opinion about your treatment plan and options, make an appointment you will not regret it.
