Shows little patience or understanding. His demeanor is one of self importance and arrogance. He is either overworked or just lacks human dignity. He has an inflated sense of self.

Dr. Alexander is extremely knowledgable and has always gone the extra mile. Never once have I doubted his diagnosis or prognosis. I am truly blessed to have such an awesome doctor.

Dr.Alexander saved my life! i was so sick when i went to him i could barely walk across the floor without passing out. i was very thin and could not eat. Dr.Alexander understood me and he knew i could not eat on my own, he showed me he really cared about me, when i thought i was a hopeless case. He helped me see that i was worth saving and when i was wanting to give up,tired of fighting my eating disorder he stood up and fought for me and showed me i could get better, i was a strong willed patient, and probably not his easiest case, but he never gave up on me i was around 90lbs at 5'5&1/2ft tall. he made me see my weight#s and i would gain and loose he still never gave up on me 5 months later i went home healthy and a better person. trust me i had been seen by many doctors but he is the only one that i truly believed that he knew what i was going thru and genuinly cared and had patiece enough to save my life! i would highly reccomend him to anyone with a eating disorder or depression… witch i also suffered from he is a great dr.
