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’ve been a patient of dr Alexander for 17 years . He’s a great dr. Takes time with his patients and explains things. The best Dr I e ever been to.

The best of the best
Telehealth
Dr. Alexander has been my doctor for over 30 years. I have a long, very difficult health history which includes severe heart disease, kidney (renal Cel) cancer, diabetes, and spinal stenosis. He has helped me through it all. I have several fine doctors on my team which he helped to put together, but make no questions about it, he is the captain of that team. He is the best of the best.

Listens!!
I've been a patient of Dr Alexander's since 2018. He never made me feel like he didn't understand or hear me. For me, a doctor who actually listens is THE most important talent a doctor can have.

Dr. Alexander and his staff are outstanding. He took wonderful care of my mother for 15+ years. The man is a gentleman and the type of MD that anyone would be grateful to have.
