Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Won’t go back.
I went to have a cyst removed and he only drained it and gave me antibiotics. When I went fora follow up visit he said I had to go to the surgery center to have it completely removed. That became a problem as I was told it would be a local anesthetic. The surgery center said it was general anesthetic. So I’m not going since he doesn’t communicate well and can’t do a simple procedure once and be done.

Great doctor. Performed my weight loss surgery. He didn’t explain in detail the complications of the weight loss surgery overall but he is willing to answer any questions or worries you may have. When you go to a seminar a ton of info IS provided. As a surgeon he is top notch! I’m very satisfied with my experience. I continue to see him a year after my surgery.

It was the worst experience of my life. The receptionist scheduled my appointment at 9:00 am. I wasn't seen until 10:00. The doctor came in looked at my lumps. TOLD ME STAGE ONE CANCER IS 1'm or less STAGE TWO CANCER IS 1'm to 3mm. STAGE 3 is 3'mm or more .STAGE 4 cancer is the same but in different locations. He told me I needed to go and have surgery ASAP. I went to a vascular surgeon thank god..I'm fine.. I was going out of my mind for weeks..WORST EXPERIENCE

Sketchy Doctor and shady practice. Doesn't explain anything and just wants to charge you RIDICULOUS amounts of money. Do not trust any of them... RUN before they do irreversible damage AND rob you!

Dr. Alexander is very old school because he spends time with you and doesn't have a computer in front of him. He helped me connect with a specialist that was perfect for me and also called the MD and expedited my appointment thank you Dr. Alexander
