Patient Reviews
Jun 23, 2020
My husband was in so much pain he was unable to sleep or to even lie down. Dr. Alexander removed a cyst on his spine and he was INSTANTLY free of pain and slept in his own bed the night of his surgery. Dr. Alexander was thorough, compassionate, and informative. Would highly recommend him.
