Alex is a certified physician assistant with 27 years of experience primarily in primary and urgent care, occupational medicine, and regenerative medicine.
Education
He is an Idaho native, graduating from Caldwell High once upon a time. After a brief period in young adulthood of ill bent youth, Alex got serious about college and attended ISU for pre-med studies. He was accepted into the Des Moines University PA program and graduated with a BSH, pA Certificate.
Family Medicine Focus
Alex initially worked in a rural family practice clinic in Iowa before moving back home to care for a terminally ill parent. He picked up his practice in the valley at Micron Health Clinic. Since then, he has worked for St. Alphonsus and St. Luke’s in occupational medicine to provide work injury care, but has always prioritized keeping a part time gig in urgent or primary care.
His Passion
He is newly remarried with two adult children and grandchildren. Alex loves woodworking, household projects, and fishing (even though, through self proclamation, he “sucks” at fishing). His “zen” is helping people. That is why he entered medicine. Alex loves the human body and how it works, and he really enjoys being able to help people when they are ill or need healthcare advice.
Alex is excited to join the Core Medicine team providing acute care medicine and supplementing the family medicine practice team.
