He was very short. No real explanation. I think he assumed I was familiar with the diagnoses. He mentioned things he saw when he but didn't explain.

My visit with Dr. Joel Alexander and his staff was great. My wait time was less then 30 minutes. Dr. Joel Alexander was very helpful,
gave great information about my diagnosis, and how it can be treated. It's only the beginning for me. Thanks Dr. Joel Alexander and Staff.
December 6, 2014Stacey W.Verified patient
Always liked him, which is why I went back to him today. I rated his bedside manner as excellent, but some may not understand it. He's not one for idle chit chat or sweetness and hugs. I don't need that. I need someone to tell me what's wrong, why (if they know) how much money, and what to do about it. He delivers on all counts with a good ear and a smile.
July 3, 2014Nora C.Verified patient
Dr Alexander was kind and knowledgeable. He was willing to answer all my questions and give me more than one path to a solution to my problem. I had a good first visit!
August 15, 2014Raymond W.Verified patient
Dr. Alexander is a blessing! He's very friendly, funny, and more than anything he's helpful. He always gives the best advice in regards to my allergies and I know he's a doctor who cares!
July 8, 2014Elicia M.Verified patient

Visit was great. Dr. Lee was professional as were his staff. Wait time was short and Dr. Lee explained all that was wrong with my injury.
August 26, 2013Michael J.Verified patient
I had to wait for awhile to see him. He was very professional and took care of my ear infection and vacuumed out all of the wax that was stuck to my eardrum from the infection. I was suffering for several weeks and now my ear feels great just a couple of days after seeing him.
