Patient Reviews
Aug 03, 2020
I’ve been going to Dr. Alexander since he was doing his Fellowship. There is no one I would trust more with treating my Ménière’s disease. He has implanted numerous PE tubes in my ear drum over the years. He always tells me what to expect before he does anything during the procedure. I’m very happy that I can now see him at the Rancho Bernardo Clinic.
