I have suffered from lower back pain for years and it is to the point t that I struggle to walk and struggle to stand for long periods of time. Dr. Alex seems to quickly grasp my issues and I have been having injections to try to calm my S/I joints. I was able to stand for four hours today to prepare meals for several days. My husband very much appreciates this! Pain has always been part of my life since having childhood RA. I am grateful that t I have been able to find some relief.

If you're looking for a compassionate neuro Dr, he is it. He will explain everything he's going to do, he's so knowledgeable. He will let you ask any questions, and answer them honestly. All I can really say is Dr Alex, you are wonderful!!

Excellent communications skills. Took no offense that I was a trauma doctor with the ability to read an MRI with previous spine surgery skills.
His technique was excellent. I suspect that I will need neurosurgical intervention based on my result & MRI.
The epidural was to check the box that conservative was attempted!

He is always a pleasure and positive person to deal with.
