Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I can't praise Dr. Alexander enough!! He related to me, he explained his view of my situation in layman's terms and then seamlessly had a technical discussion with my physician wife that answered all her questions and put her at ease. I felt wholeheartedly heard and taken care of!

My recent visit with Dr. Alexander at Cedars-Sinai was truly exceptional. Dr. Alexander demonstrated outstanding professionalism and provided clear, thorough explanations throughout my visit. His calm demeanor and attentive interaction made me feel at ease, and I felt confident in the care I was about to receive. Dr. Alexander took the time to address all my concerns and ensured I fully understood my procedure and potential future treatment options. Overall, the experience was top-notch, and I highly recommend Dr. Alexander for anyone seeking compassionate and expert medical care.

I have visited Dr. Alexander since 2019 and he has been always very knowledgeable and patient to my concerns/questions. I did have operation on July this year and he made a right decision on me, which I am truly grateful. Wonderful doctor.

He saved my wife's life after she suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage in November of 2013. He calls my wife the miracle patient, but it takes someone who creates miracles in the first place to put a title on his patient. He is without question, an OUTSTANDING surgeon.
