Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2024
Dr. Biju Alex is an absolute professional. We (my family) have been really searching for a great Gastroenterologist in Columbia, MD for a long time. Dr. Alex came highly recommended from another well trusted specialist. From the get go, this is my down to earth honest opinion about Dr. Alex. Dr. Alex is extremely caring, loving, and compassionate. He does NOT rush his patients as many other doctors do. He listens to you and your health complaints and concerns very carefully. He really spends his valuable time (up to an hour and never looks at his watch) with patients without rushing you. Of course, Dr. Alex does not smile as often as you like or chit chat as other money centric doctors do. He is very gentle and NOT arrogant as other doctors I came across. I can personally vouch that Dr. Alex absolutely cares and is a well trained compassionate physician. For me Alex is a God sent guardian angel. He is a miracle worker.
