I agree with all who have signed this guest book. Dr. A was a caring and kind man who really listened to his patients. He also could be very strict -- follow his instructions or you'd hear about it. I was one of his first patients and it never occurred to me that he wouldn't be around to the end of my life. My sympathies to his family. Know that he was greatly loved.

Dr. Alexander saved my life . In His passing I realize he was more then just a Dr. To me he was also a friend .I always left his office with a smile he took time to listen to me and even joke with me I belive he thought laughter was as much a part of his medicine as any other medications . I don't know who to turn to now . You and your family are in my prayers .

I was so sorry to hear of your loss! I haven't worked for Dr A in over 11 or 12 years but he was one of the finest Dr's that I had ever worked for. He was professional when he needed to be but also very funny when the time called for it and liked to joke around. He more importantly though was very concerned for his patients and treated most people like friends! I remember a time that my elderly mother wrecked her car and we were talking that she was getting to old to be driving and then she came in to see him for a follow up and the first thing he said was " I have a car for sale if you need one." We just cracked up laughing! I know how much every one loved him and he will be greatly missed!
