I am proud to be a family physician. I enjoy developing long-term relationships with my patients and strive to provide personalized health care.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

Awesome and helpful
I was pleased with the level of concern shown during what was a hastily scheduled visit.
He is great, always friendly, and truly listens.
Very detailed professional and knowledgeable
I really like seeing Dr. Alexander. He takes the time to listen to me. When treating me, we have a conversation and not just the doctor telling me what to do. I appreciate his gentle nature and explaining everything so thoroughly.
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!
