Dr. Alexander appears at 33:30 in this video. Dr. Alexander was Chief of Pediatric Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic for 15 years, and Chief of Pediatric Surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center for 5 years. During this time, he has successfully performed more than 18,000 operations. He is known for his meticulous attention to detail, and his success rates exceed national standards allowing his young patients to return to school and other activities in a shorter time span thanks to smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stays. After earning his medical degree from Columbia University, Dr. Alexander went on to complete his surgical training at the Brigham Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston, and a pediatric surgical fellowship at Cincinnati Children's Hospital (the latter institution was cited as one of the top three children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News and World Report). In addition to his clinical practice, he has made a number of original contributions to the field of pediatric surgery, and has published 60 peer-reviewed articles and 20 book chapters, for which he was appointed Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Alexander is board-certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners and a diplomate of the American Board of Surgery for Pediatric Surgery. He is also a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a surgical section of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Pediatric Surgical Association. Now in independent practice, he has surgical privileges at Hackensack University Medical Center, The Valley Hospital, Palisades Medical Center, Holy Name Medical Center, and Englewood Hospital and Medical Center.
