    We were satisfied with clinic staff as well as treatment and my wife got relief from her shoulder problem. We will recommend to anyone to go with Dr Alexander for treatment of her/his ortho case.

    The very positive attitude of the doctor will make you feel better which is a very rare thing to find in a helping profession these days. Doctor took time to explain everything about my problem beside prescribing medicines. I would recommend people to visit.
