Today was my first visit with Dr.Alex and it was outstanding. I walked in with an injured elbow with lots of pain and he treated it with the laser therapy. After he finished working on it, my elbow felt amazing like it was brand new. He also worked on my hamstring that I previously pulled and he made it feel amazing like I was walking on air. Thank you Dr. Alex

Dr. Stephen Alex is an excellent doctor. His staff is very attentive, professional, and always very friendly. I highly recommend him to everyone, my carpel tunnel surgery was excellent and now have full mobility and no pain in both hands. He is the best doctor, human being, kindly, you can trust in his ability to perform the surgery and when you visit his office you feel like you find a new family, all his staff are the best. I always give thanks to my friend Dr Gomez for recommend me Dr Alex to do my surgery. When you begin your healing process you have to receive his aquaroll therapy.

I was in pain for several months until one weekend I was in especially bad wrist pain and unable to sleep. It was Sunday early in the morning I was searching the web for a hand doctor near me and read the reviews from prior patients and decided to reach out for Dr Alex. I was seen that week in his comfortable clean beautifully appointed office. The doctor examined my hand and arm and made an initial diagnosis which he confirmed with his in-house X-ray fluoroscope (I think thats what its called). I was advised to get an electrical conductivity test since the doctor felt I had an additional
