“I used to go to Dr Alex when she was in the city and followed her when she moved to Long Island - I’m so glad she’s local for me again!! She is truly the best! Not only does she have wonderful bedside manner, she also takes a genuine interest in her patients and their wellbeing. She’s the best PCP I’ve ever had!”

They do not follow through. No called backs. I had labs done at a Northwell labs center. This MD office uploaded partial lab it’s been over a month since I have been wait for them to upload / review my labs or at least place the remaining labs to My Chart for me to review. I have called 3x spoke to the office rep 2x with no positive outcome. Third time l called the call center answer and she tried 3 time to get hold of someone at that office unsuccessfully. She took my name and number and request an urgent call back for me and I’m still waiting…….. (mind you it already the end of their business day).

Top notch doctor. She was very thorough and a great listener. I feel like I was talking to a friend who wanted to check in on me. I’ll definitely be making her my provider.
Verified patient
My experience during an office visit with Dr. Alex was great. She was very knowledgeable, and informative and physically examined my situation which I feel is important because not all doctors do. The patient representative at the front desk was also excellent. She was helpful and welcoming. Something I appreciate while not feeling well. Great office, staff and experience overall.
