"Attentive, knowledgeable and caring. Highly recommend." Judy W. 5/5/11, Danville.
"I came to Dr. Alexander through my psychotherapist; we were looking for someone who would treat me as a whole person and who would be willing to hear my story and to engage in dialogue with me about a variety of issues. I also was of course looking for someone highly competent in diagnosing psychiatric conditions and prescribing treatments. Dr. Alexander more than fulfilled my expectations. She is knowledgeable, intuitive, concerned, and caring, and she goes out of her way to explain diagnoses and treatments. She came up with the perfect medication to treat me and was very carefully attentive to the dose that worked best for me. She has particular expertise in women's health but was beyond qualified to help a male patient--me--with my own issues. I recommend her with utmost enthusiasm." John Q, Berkeley, 5/7/11
"If you're lucky, you run into a doctor like Jeanne Alexander once in a lifetime. She has the kind of voracious intellectual and curiosity that delights in recognizing subtle clues, teasing out underlying factors, and making connections across medical disciplines. .... I've never written an online review in my life, before this, but Jeanne Alexander changes peoples live's. See her!" Gael J, Oakland, 4/14/11
