Since that time this practice has grown to a 5 person practice of Board Certified Pediatric Cardiologists exclusive to Pediatric Cardiology and has become the largest free-standing Pediatric Cardiology practice in the state of New Jersey. The practice accepts virtually all insurances including the managed Medicaid insurance companies and works in a very close relationship with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The practice also retains a close affiliation with the Hackensack-Meridian Healthcare system.
Dr. Mitchel Alpert is The Director of Pediatric Cardiology for the Jersey Shore University Medical Center and the senior member and founder of Alpert, Zales, and Castro Pediatric Cardiology located in Brick and Middletown, New Jersey. Dr. Alpert founded Pediatric Cardiology in the 1980's in Ocean County and became the first Pediatric Cardiologist at Jersey Shore Medical Center to develop a Pediatric Cardiology teaching program at that Center.
I have been with the practice since 1987. As the practice manager it is my job to ensure smooth sailing for the doctors, patients, and office staff. It is my responsibility to oversee the intricate workings of the staff and doctors' schedules - "the buck stops here". If there is a problem or question, I am the person to see.

Dr Zales and his staff are amazing. What can be a stressful visit for a parent of a young child is very quickly relieved by the stress free environment they provide. Thankfully we left with a clean bill of health but will recommend them to anyone who needs this type of dr!

I never write reviews but This Doctors office was the most efficiently run medical office I've ever experienced. I'm in the field and whole staff from the receptionist to the tech to Dr. Alpert Zales we're amazing. Most organized office I've ever been to. Dr. Zales was thorough and communicated everything well. Highly recommended. Thank you

We had a great experience. My daughter was taken last minute, we didn't wait long and everyone was very nice and professional. Dr. Alpert was kind and thorough. Be wary of low reviews.they are usually very unhappy people. It's a stark comparison to what actually occurred when visiting this dr.

I was very impressed with Dr. Alpert. He was super knowledgeable, answered all our questions, was personable and easy to talk to, and immediately put our minds at ease. My son, his mother, and I left his office with answers after an EKG and echo done by the doctor in the office. Thank you Dr Alpert. Terrific experience.

Dr. Alpert was great. I took my 5 month old to him. He was very good in explaining the procedure. He works quickly and efficiently and his assistant was great with keeping my little one happy and sldistracted during the procedure.

If I could give a negative number I would! I made 4 appointments with this office and they called to cancel last minute every time giving me an attitude as if it's my fault that I'm a single mom who works full time. Extremely unprofessional! If she had t been seen by this practice whole in the NICU they'd be the last place I would take my child!

I hope this helps a nervous parent. I recently had a scare when my daughter complained of "heart pain." Where I quickly made an appointment with this office. The secretary was amazing and so nice and asked me all the right questions. Upon arriving, the receptionist at the desk was courteous and respectful and I only waited about 5-10 minutes before an amazing nurse assisted us to the examination room. DR ZALES -- I cant say enough about him. Exceptional doctor.

He was engaging and thorough and took his time to listen. There was no feeling of being rushed and he did multiple tests right there in the office (ekg and echo) to verify nothing was wrong. My daughter was in awe of him. The office itself is very clean and there are toys in every room to keep siblings at bay! Such a great experience and Dr. Zales is a 5+ star MD.
