Oncology For Women: Alexander Margaret MD

I was referred to Dr. Alexander by my niece. The day of my appointment I was impressed by the office. Its atmosphere put me at ease immediately. The staff was very friendly. Dr. Alexander was extremely polite and soft spoken. She herself performed my routine exam in addition to sending me in for a series of tests. She is very thorough in her examinations, collecting a complete family history in addition to past medical history. Dr. Alexander was patient as she thoroughly answered all questions I might have as she sat me down to discuss my test results and possible medical options that would be best for me. Dr. Alexander looks at all possible angles of every problem you might have. In the end surgery was what I needed. In addition to prepping me for my surgery she took into account my weight issues, sending me to a cardiologist to make sure my heart could withstand surgery. On the day of my surgery, Dr. Alexander was a calming presence; holding my hand in the operation room telling me everything was to be okay. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a thorough, polite, and hands on gynecologist. Dr. Alexander is a true "professional" with a sweet demeanor and the best doctor I have had. There are not enough stars to rate Dr. Alexander who is a gifted and wonderful doctor and a phenomenal woman. more

I was extremely nervous for my annual Pap smear and full examination, and expressed this anxiety to Dr. Alexander. She was completely understanding, and even offered to have 2 of the ladies that work with her come in and hold my hands! I did not need that, though, because of Dr. Alexander's gentle approach. She told me what she was going to be doing, and narrated throughout the procedure of the Pap smear and exam. Very professional, and great bedside manner. I will definitely keep Dr. Alexander as my OB/GYN, and will certainly be recommending her to all of my friends. (I am new to the area, and had a pleasant experience overall.) Her office is an old white house, with luxurious paintings and furniture. Definitely not your average hospital/doctor's office! more
