Philosophy Of Care

I chose to practice in OB/GYN because I care deeply about women and the health issues they experience at each stage of their lives. My goal is to provide the evidence-based standard of care, delivered with compassion, to earn each patient’s trust, and to form deep patient relationships through my care and our shared decision making. Any given day I see women from their teen years, to expectant mothers through grandmothers in the 80s. One of my greatest joys is in relationships lasting through multiple generations of a family, a mom referring her daughter, and then her grand-daughter. I work to earn this trusted confidence every day, whether I’m delivering a new family member, performing surgery, providing preventive care, or advocating for their well-being.

Provider told me to get bloodwork without 1)confirming I was fasting (I was not) or 2)Even asking if I had been fasting. This is not standard of care. Breast exam seemed distracted and a bit sub-par in comparison to other physicians who seek to exam deeper into breast tissue. As a first time visitor, provider did not seek to establish any report - definitely a "going through the motions" which is disappointing anytime going to a doctor that deals with such intimate/vulnerable healthcare.

I am super happy to find dr. ALEXANDER, TERESSA. I'm from Brazil and I was scared how impersonal the doctors could be here, but she's amazing, super nice, patient, she answered all the questions, calm. I really liked her!

Dr. Alexander is an excellent physician. I trust her judgement as I know she has my best interest at heart. I was a long time ... patient, 20 years, and left them to follow her.
