Intelligence, confidence, first rate education (from Yale Medical School). Dr. Alexander has all of those things.

After hearing my final diagnosis ""you have cancer"", I went numb. My worst fears confirmed after burying my father 4 months earlier. I could not believe my ears. While I was sitting there trying to digest my reality, Dr. Alexander was explaining the next steps slowly, thoroughly, and carefully. Her explanations were not clinical, condescending or detached. Dr. Alexander spoke to me as if i were a personal friend and broke down very complex terms and procedures to a level i was completely able to digest. Although, while i watched and listened, feeling detached the whole time. I realized Dr. Alexander had already meticulously planned out every calculating step towards getting me cancer free. I had to deal with pulling myself together to tell everyone i know, she had already scheduled and planned the operation and preparing me for the next procedure. She told me this we were going to get through; my life was not going to end over this diagnosis. Before i even left the room it dawned on me that whatever she told me. I believe her 100% because she had been through this numerous times. Because of her responses and numerous pre-procedural steps and tests to confirm her diagnosis, i knew she was armed with every last ounce of detail to preform a successful operation. Even during the operation she took numerous biopsies of lymph nodes and other areas i cannot specifically recall so she could decide our next plan of strategic action against my cancer. So when people asked me if i wanted a second opinion about my diagnosis because they knew a great doctor, I confidently within the next breath said, "" No thank you."" because i believed in my own great doctor. Everyday i was in the hospital i was visited early by Dr. Alexander. Even on the weekend! She not only checked my chart to make sure everything was okay but she would also shoot the breeze with me. The other nurses and nurses' attendants spoke very highly of how well Dr. Alexander treats her patients. ""she is very meticulous about the care she gives each and every patient. I am extremely blessed to have Dr. Alexander as my specialist. I never doubted that i was getting the top of the line care due to her experience with my health issue, but i also received a rare gift, a doctor who also has the talent to really connect with her patients and treat them with such humanity. I hope you will allow this gifted person to touch your lives as well. by the way..... I am CANCER FREE!!!! more

My opinion about Dr. Alexander, she is the best, and she really cares about her patience, she does not mind answering your questions, she is very patient and kind, I always tell Dr. Alexander to take care of herself because we all need her, like i said before she is the best. Once you go to her you will see\r more

Hi, I am 40+ years old and absolutely elated that 'Yelp' has given me this platform upon which to cheer on my 'favorite Doctor ever', Dr. Margaret N. Alexander. She is the sole physician and director in her own practice, Oncology for Women, located in Bethesda, MD. She is an OB/GYN, who specializes in OB/GYN Oncology. I met her at a time in 2005 when I was quite sick, having been diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2000 and even more discouraged by the treatment of some of my former doctors. She kindly took my case and began vigilantly to help me in the fight for my life. By the way, We won! She is a kind, caring professional, with whom I have developed a lasting relationship. Her practice Oncology for Women is a place where women can come and know that they will receive the highest quality of care. During our pursuit and fight against the disease, she discovered some other areas which concerned her as a result of a series of test she had me complete. She quickly referred me to the appropriate physician professionals, so I could have those issues addressed as well. (Sad to say, I found her more determined than my primary care physician to see me well.) Each and every time I have returned for follow-up visits and to hear the outcome of my test results, she has provided them. She's a lady with a tender touch, no matter what the office procedure...pap smears, breast exams, etc. Upon first meet, you'll be impressed with the aesthetics of her office, but even more impressed with her vibrancy and dedication. The staff has always been very friendly, competent and professional and have always assisted me to get my needs met. Just recently, she sent me for an annual series of test just to make sure everything was okay. I was expecting to get the results in a couple of days. Nope, she called and told me that very evening. I celebrated and I celebrate her. She is a phenomenal human being and Doctor. \r more

I was referred to Dr. Alexander by my niece. The day of my appointment I was impressed by the office. Its atmosphere put me at ease immediately. The staff was very friendly. Dr. Alexander was extremely polite and soft spoken. She herself performed my routine exam in addition to sending me in for a series of tests. She is very thorough in her examinations, collecting a complete family history in addition to past medical history. Dr. Alexander was patient as she thoroughly answered all questions I might have as she sat me down to discuss my test results and possible medical options that would be best for me. Dr. Alexander looks at all possible angles of every problem you might have. In the end surgery was what I needed. In addition to prepping me for my surgery she took into account my weight issues, sending me to a cardiologist to make sure my heart could withstand surgery. On the day of my surgery, Dr. Alexander was a calming presence; holding my hand in the operation room telling me everything was to be okay. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a thorough, polite, and hands on gynecologist. Dr. Alexander is a true ""professional"" with a sweet demeanor and the best doctor I have had. \r \r There are not enough stars to rate Dr. Alexander who is a gifted and wonderful doctor and a phenomenal woman.\r more

Very warm caring person. Made me feel that she was interested and concerned about what was happening with me more
