If I could give a zero star I would. First of all he was behind on his appointments. I understand that happens. I've worked in doctors offices. But I had to go ask as nobody communicates that to you. mind you this is a big office with multiple providers. So multiple staff members work there. Not one person made us feel welcome. More like we were trash. We were there through a lawyer maybe that's why but guess what they still get paid. So an hour later, the nurse not the doctor the nurse orders x-rays, hmmm... which were unnecessary because an MRI was already done. When the doctor came in, he did not even go over the x-rays they just did. He was so nonchalant about the issues at hand. Was ready to leave the room after two minutes. The only reason it lasted maybe five is because I kept asking questions. But every time he said, do you have more questions? He was already halfway to the door. We are getting a second opinion because the issues are serious and he right away just said oh surgery remove a disc. Wait what and it was as if he wanted an answer right then and there. Sorry no that's a drastic decision to make on the spot! I think this office is too big and you're not treated like a patient. I would be very weary of going here. read more

I had L4 L5 spinal fusion done with Dr. Alexander 3 months ago. I am feeling sooooo much better! Much better than I've been the past few years. I suffered 8 years of excruciating back pain due to previous car accident, herniated disc, annular disc tear, as well as nerve damage down to S1. I went through 6 years of injections , epidural , PRP, and radio frequency nerve ablation. But I needed those procedures done every couple months. It got to a point where I couldn't even lift my leg and those injections and medication were not working. So I went with surgery with Dr. Alexander. I was referred by my friend who had personal experience with surgery with him. I am glad I got the surgery done with Dr. Alexander! read more

After 3 prior spine surgeries, I was still in dire need of medical intervention when I was referred to Dr. Alexander for surgery.

I had a severe case of sciatica pain (8-9) that wouldn't go away. I had tried everything to help my pain go away to no avail. I did my research on spine surgeons and chose Dr. Alexander. The office staff (Clarissa, and Ivonne) went out of their way to assist me from appointments to acquiring clearance from insurance companies. Dr. Alexander's PA Helge was easy to deal with and very knowledgeable which made me feel at ease. My back surgery (outpatient) was on a Tuesday and I was up and walking the next day. It's now 6 weeks post-op and I feel great with no more pain. I highly recommend Dr. Alexander. read more

Dr. Alexander from the start of prognosis to surgery was very professional, kind, and through with discussing my medical spinal fusion. Excellent recovery and world class in my opinion. Thank you! read more

I felt compelled to write a review of my overall experience with Dr. Alexander and his team, as it has been one year since my surgery. I suffered through horrible back pain for over 10 years and had just about given up on having a pain free life. Dr. Alexander was the third Dr. I visited about my issue and he suggested a different approach than the others. The two other doctors I visited both suggested fusion, but Dr. Alexander suggested a minimally evasive surgery using a COFLEX implant. I hesitated to have the surgery, but my disk herniated to the point where I could no longer move and lost 15-20 pounds within three weeks. Dr. Alexander and his staff moved into action. PA. Helge arranged for me to be admitted to Hoag on an emergency basis. Clarissa worked her magic with the insurance and took care of all the paperwork. These people are truly special and I always felt they had my best interest in mind. Dr. Alexander ended up performing the surgery he had originally suggested and repaired the damaged disk and installed the implant. One year later I am feeling better than I have for past 10 years and I continue to get stronger each day. I should not have hesitated about having the original surgery Dr. Alexander suggested. Had I listed to him at the beginning, I truly believe the damage to my disk would have been less severe and my recovery would have been much quicker. As it was, I was walking the next day pain free and could only thank god that I found the right person at the right time to help me through what was the worst ordeal of my life. Dr. Alexander, Dr. Helge, and Clarissa Johnson, are not just good at their jobs, but they all are truly special people. Although I really enjoyed their company, I hope I never have to see any of them ever again, but If i needed help, I know where to go. God Bless you Dr. Alexander, you truly saved my life. read more

I suffered for over ten years with a herniated disc and sciatica. I had many steroid injections and physical therapy over the years with no improvement . I finally decided to take the step towards surgical intervention . I found Dr Alexander and his team at OSI and my experience couldn't have been better. I was very scared to undergo major surgery at my age but his team made me feel very confident and always made sure to answer all of my questions and concerns. It's been five months since my surgery and I can walk with no back pain/leg pain and my sciatica is gone. I'm so glad I made the decision to see Dr Alexander and his team. read more

Beaucratic and unfortunately not concerned about patient comfort with very packed surgical schedule so patient relationship not priority as office protocol must be followed limiting doctor face time. Sad... read more

Dr. Gerald Alexander did coflex surgery on my back to relieve spinal stenosis pain in Nov. of 2018. I am without pain and back to a normal lifestyle. P.A Helge Helgensen and staff and are kind, helpful and very professional. read more

he's patient, knowledgeable and extremely professional. I couldn't have been happier. Dr. Alexander is true professional.

I had my 1st back surgery for scoliosis at 16; fused 4 vertebrae. I've always had back pain and was hunched over. I didn't realize I was learning forward because of the side-view of my spine. Dr. Alexander fused the vertebra below my initial surgery w/ an angled piece. I was very nervous about a 2nd surgery because of the results from my first, but I am so glad I had it. My posture is much better and I actually gained an inch (I was 5'4" and am now 5'5"). My back is stronger. He is an amazing surgeon and explains everything in detail and has a great bedside manner. read more

My husband had neck spinal fusion surgery with Dr. Gerald Alexander. Dr. Gerald Alexander was refered by insurance company and I noticed that he had long time of experience.( more than 20 years something) Dr. Alexander showed up exact time without delay and my husband got well after 3 weeks. According to PA Helge Helgesen that it will take a while to get recovery and he was surprised that my husband did not take that much pain medication compare with other patient. I pray to the god for his success on his surgery because I heard a lot of people suggest not to take a surgery but my husband made it through with Dr. Gerald Alexander. PA Helgenson was super kind and nice also and try to spend more time with patient with any issue or concern. The receptionist name by Creasol ( not sure if I spelled her right) was very professional too. First of all she speaks very clearly and detail oriented so I can understand the procedure of treatment before and after surgery. Even paperwork was all organized and easy to understand. One thing missing is that they are running two offices so most of time that you have to leave a message but they insure to return your call. I never visit the office but Dr. Gerald and staff is very helpful and passionate about patient and very knowledgeable too. I can definitely recommend Dr. Gerald Alexander. read more
