Biography
|
Jason D Alder, MD, FAAOS, is a board-certified and fellowship-trained spine surgeon. He is the Director of Spinal Surgery at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Frisco and Baylor ... Scott & White Medical Center - Centennial. He completed his training at top-ranked medical institutions including Orthopedic Surgery residency at Houston Methodist Hospital and a combined Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Spinal Surgery fellowship at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. Dr. Alder is a specialist in minimally invasive spine procedures and offers patients a comprehensive approach to spinal care, with a focus on patient safety and individualized treatment. Dr. Alder is a leading expert in the most modern advancements, including minimally invasive techniques, robotic spine surgery, stereotactic computer-navigated spine surgery and motion-preserving operations. He is experienced in all aspects of spine surgery, including laminectomies, discectomies, fusions and artificial disc replacements. In addition to authored publications in peer-reviewed journals, Dr. Alder has designed instruments essential to spinal surgery that are now being used worldwide. He has traveled in the US and internationally to present his work and also instruct surgeons in advanced spinal surgery techniques. Dr. Alder is proud to have trained and work in Texas. He treats all of his patients the same way he would treat his own family and would never recommend anything for his patients that he wouldn’t for a family member. He believes that most spine problems can be solved without surgery, but when surgery is necessary, the least invasive options should always be used. When not working, he loves spending time with his wife and three children, playing and coaching sports, and being a local founding member and team captain for All Pro Dads.

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. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. 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.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Jason Alder receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority awarding him perfect 5-star ratings. Patients consistently praise his exceptional communication skills, noting that he takes time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, X-rays, and MRI results in clear, understandable language. His bedside manner is frequently highlighted as outstanding, with patients describing him as caring, compassionate, personable, and patient. Many reviewers appreciate that he doesn't rush appointments and ensures patients fully understand their conditions and treatment options before making decisions. His surgical skills are highly regarded, with multiple patients reporting successful outcomes and complete pain relief following procedures. Patients also commend his approach of presenting multiple treatment options rather than immediately recommending surgery, and they value his attentiveness in listening to their concerns. His staff and overall office experience also receive consistent praise.
Patients also share
Very few areas for improvement emerge from these reviews. One patient mentioned wishing that testing and follow-up appointments could move faster, suggesting some frustration with scheduling or the pace of diagnostic processes. However, this appears to be an isolated concern rather than a recurring theme. The reviews contain minimal criticism, with nearly all feedback being positive or highly positive in nature.
