Patient Reviews
Oct 21, 2023
I WAS FIRST SEEN AFTER MINING ACCIDENT WHEN HE HAD OPENED HIS PRACTICE IN HARRISBURG,ILL. HE LISTENED TO MY COMPLAINT AND TREATED ME IN ACCORDANCE. I STAYED UNDER HIS CARE UNTIL HE LEFT THE AREA. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AVAILABLE AND WHEN I HAD CONDITION THAT WAS BEYOND HIS EXPERTICE HE NEVER HESITATED TO GET ME TO AN EXPERT. IF URGENT HE WOULD PERSONALY CALL THE EXPERT IN CARE NEEDED AND GET ME IN PROMPTLY. ONE TIME THE DOCTOR ASKED HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE ME TO GET TO HIS OFFICE & HE WOULD BE WAITING. I`VE FOUND DR.ALEXANDER TO BE VERY EFFICIENT AND CARING IN MY TREATMENT. NOW THAT HE`S BACK IN MY AREA I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HIM AGAIN . G.R.S.
