As a healthcare professional and travel nurse who has worked in multiple facilities, I was disappointed with my experience at this visit. At check in, I informed the receptionist that I had never received the email with my paperwork or instructions.

Dr. Alexander is outstanding. I went in for hair loss around my edges, and he came in, took one look, and immediately knew exactly what I needed. He prescribed me medication, and I was on my way feeling confident.

The treatments he gave me seem to have worked quite well, though the visit was very quick and there were a couple of other issues I wanted to ask him about or that he should have noticed on my head and neck that did not get addressed.
