Who We Are
Highly qualified and motivated professionals
The Alexander Center is an integrated orthopedic practice dedicated to treating each patient in a comprehensive way. Our goal is not to simply provide symptom relief but to seek out the underlying cause and treat the patient as a whole to correct the problem and prevent future injuries.
Dr. Alexander created this practice in order to bring a new level of orthopedic care to central Ohio, merging his own extensive experience of spinal care and sports injuries with an experienced team of medical professionals ready to come alongside patients to find relief and healing.
