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.

Dr. Alexander goes above and beyond in listening to his patients and making them feel at ease about their medical condition. He’s an excellent surgeon and genuinely cares for his patients.

Love Dr. Alexander and his office staff, especially, Lela. After years of seeing Dr. Alexander with arthritic knees I decided to "bite the bullet" and have my right knee replaced. This was my decision since Dr. Alexander had told me over the years to wait as long as I could. The experience so far (10 days post) has been easier than I thought. Just a lot of down time, PT and icing. I am not a patient person so this has been a little difficult. I have full faith in Dr. Alexander.
