Reviews
She's awesome very personable does a great job
Please do NOT use this doctor. Dr. Alyn L Adrain did a simple outpatient procedure on my father in April 2011 and then sent him home. He was back in the at the hospital and in the ER a few hours later. No one at Miriam Hospital in Providence RI ER check my fathers blood the during the many hours he spent in extreme pain laying on a bed covered in his own vomit. Had they checked it or had this Specialist Doctor Adrain came to the ER after she was paged and called they might have found out days sooner that his blood was full of sepsis. The sepsis entered the blood stream after Dr, Adrain did a simple Endoscopic Ultrasound that my father went in for to have something that showed on a cat-scan looked at closer. She found a gall stone and proceeded to remove it and in the process tore a piece of his Bile Duct without knowing it. Then woke him up and sent him home. He didn't know about the stone and never agreed to have it removed and was still woosey when my mother left her offer with him.
During the five days he lay in the CCU at Mirian Hospital with all his organs shutting down until he died not once did this doctor call me back after I left her messages or come to his room so I could speak to her.
I know doctors are human and humans make mistakes but I would prefer others know this and find a doctor who cares more. Who double checks on procedures, who returns calls to dying family members and who follows up on patients when they end up in the ER hours after they tear a hole, by accident, inside them.

I was extremely nervous about seeing a GI. Dr Adrian came in and immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. I have procedures scheduled in Sept. She seems very knowledgeable, caring, and willing to explain things in a way I could understand.
