About
A. Herbert Alexander, MD
Dr. Herb Alexander opened the doors of Alexander Orthopaedics January 1, 2002. His former position was Chairman and Director of the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Training Program at the Naval Medical Center, Oakland, California where he held the rank of Captain, Medical Corps, United States Navy. He is a 1973 graduate of Northwestern University Medical School where he was a participant in the Honors Program in Medical Education and a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. During a distinguished Naval career, Dr. Alexander served as Orthopaedic Specialty Advisor to the Surgeon General of the Navy, received the Baron Dominique Larrey Award for Excellence in Military Surgery, and attained the faculty rank of Professor of Surgery at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (a position he still holds). His military awards include the Navy Commendation Medal and Navy Meritorious Service Medal. He has published over 60 manuscripts and chapters in the medical literature and serves as Associate Editor-in-Chief of The American Journal of Orthopedics. His special medical interests are in fracture surgery and sports medicine. Having given over 250 presentations, Dr. Alexander has participated in numerous national and international medical education seminars as faculty and lecturer and is an examiner for the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (the certifying body for all U.S. orthopaedic surgeons). After serving nearly 27 years on active duty in the United States Navy, Dr. Alexander moved to Sun Valley in 1998. Since then, he has served as Chief of Surgery at the St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center (SLWRMC), Vice-Chief of Staff, and Chief of Staff. He also serves on the Community Board of the SLWRMC. He has an intense interest in computer technology and how it can enhance the quality of medical care. Having established a totally electronic office, he is a recognized authority on this and has been an invited speaker and lecturer to numerous societies on computerization in medicine. Still maintaining an interest in the military and in military medicine, Dr. Alexander sits on the Board of the Society of Medical Consultants to the Armed Forces, a “brain trust” of former high ranking military medical officers that continue to provide advice and counsel to the Surgeons General of the Navy, Army, and Air Force. He also is an admissions representative (Blue and Gold Officer) of the United States Naval Academy. Dr. Alexander is a principal and founding member of MDReview, an organization that provides independent external medical peer review to hospitals and medical staffs. He is married to Charlotte E. Alexander, MD, (hand surgeon and associate at Alexander Orthopaedics). They have two children, Amy (21) and Mandy (19). In his leisure time, Dr. Alexander enjoys tennis, aviation (private pilot), piano, skiing, biking, golf, and computing.

I was seen the next day after my injury. His advise was excellent and he answered all my questions. His diagnose and recommendations were verified by doctors back home. I recommend Dr. Alexander.
