I have always received the best care from this practice & especially the primary care physician

First time seeing this PCP (Dr. Alexander) so it was more of a "getting to know you" session since he took over from a PA who left the practice. Very nice conversation.

Dr. A responded to my concerns about side effects by reducing one medication dosage to try it out. He explained the results of a recent ortho clinic assessment for osteoporosis, and recommended an action plan to gather additional information about a bladder issue. A lot accomplished in one appointment, but I appreciated his thoroughness.
