As a family physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in ambulatory care and have a particular interest in health promotion and preventive medicine.
I am proud to be a family physician. I enjoy developing long-term relationships with my patients and strive to provide personalized health care.

Professional
I can't say enough about how fabulous Dr. Alexander is! I am a very demanding person and Dr. Alexander has always been very patient with me and navigated my numerous problems and figured out the right path with empathy and understanding. I know I've gone into his office and thought, surely he's going to be frustrated with with this time! But he lets me cry it out and we come up with a solution and I always leave with hope and relief. I'm so grateful to have him as my physician. This past visit, he didn't have an appointment until almost Christmas, but he had his nurse fit me in his schedule the next day because I was having back and neck pain. You don't find doctors like him anymore. He's one of a kind!
