Ratings and Reviews
The ratings and reviews are based on patient responses to the overall provider rating question from the survey. The question reads: “Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst provider possible and 10 is the best provider possible, what number would you use to rate this provider?” Responses are converted to a 5-point rating system and applied consistently to all providers. Learn more about our survey process. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.

I am very lucky to get Dr. Alexander as my physician
My experience with Duke Cardiology and Dr Alexander has been great.
Very pleased with enitire interactions
Dr. Alexander was super caring. ( I think I fell in love with him.)
Great team effort.
Had a little bit of a wait. But dr Alexander takes his time to listen to his patients concerns. This takes more time. But is why I came to him for help in the first place. I think that is why I am improving.
The doctor and nurse were very friendly, professional and respectful. I will highly recommend this facility and provider to my family and friends.
I am quite impressed with Dr. Alexander. He is very thorough and interested in my well-being.
