He was so nice and helped rule out things my rash could have been. We are trying a cream and steroids then I will follow up in 3 weeks to see if it’s effective. I was also late and he still worked me in, which I was grateful for because my dental appointment that day went over what was expected and I thought I wouldn’t make it in time!

Amazing doctor. Will absolutely continue to use him! So friendly, made sure to give me the full rundown on uses and side effects of all medicine prescribed, and super kind (nice dresser too).
October 31, 2023Michael A.Verified patient
My husband, children and I have been patients of Dr. Alexander for over a decade. We highly recommend him. Dr. Alexander is very attentive and knows what he is doing. Worth noting is we appreciate how he does not push injectables the way some Dermatologists do and he takes a conservative approach to cosmetic treatments as well.
