About
Philosophy of care
I am a strong advocate for patient-centered care and always try to put myself in the shoes of the patient. My job as a clinician is to fully inform patients and their families about their health condition, prognosis and treatment options so they can not only make the best decisions for their own health, but also be happy with those decisions.
Why I entered medicine
While my educational background is in biomedical sciences, many jobs I worked before I became a clinician involved customer service. My favorite part about those experiences was making people happy and their day a bit easier. Medicine allows me to combine my love for science and biology with my passion for helping people.
Community involvement
I am a part of local groups that promote conservation.
Personal interests
I enjoy several hobbies in my free time, such as playing musical instruments and exploring the region for new sights and restaurants.

Comments
"Alex was so easy to talk to about a topic that is not easy to talk about. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed when I was anything but. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"All questions and concerns were addressed. Physician and office staff was awesome."
"I thought Alex was excellent. He answered all my questions. He checked my incisions. He spoke to me about, you know, care from, you know, from now on and that if I had any questions or concerns that I should call. He looked up some information for me that I was concerned about. And he explained everything perfectly. I was very pleased."
