Dr. Anthony Alexander

GREETINGS!

I am Dr. Anthony Alexander and I am a specialist in pain management.  

My Background is in general medicine, combined with two specialties leading to a consistent practice in conventional pain management techniques.  

My Philosophy 

To evaluate the patient and find the cause of the pain. I desire to increase your quality of life. 

My Goal 

To treat as many people as possible and avoid the use of medicine. Or at least keep them on a low dosage. 

Also,  I want to treat the patients conservatively and try to avoid unneeded surgeries. 

What's the meaning behind the name of my practice. 

The name of the business needed to reflect what I do and where I work with my patients. "Palmetto" represents South Carolina. 

My approach to treatment

1. You need to be a good listener. It is important to listen to the patient. More than likely that is where you will find the answer to the problem 

2. Must be compassionate. Listen and act! 

What does conservative practice mean? 

To provide non-surgical treatment to patients. 

My values: 

Customer Service: Should be at the forefront. Compassionate, Kind, and Friendly.

Trust- I want patients to trust me. It is most important because I want them to follow my suggestions. But, trust is a must. 

Relationship- Take the time to understand the pain and build a relationship with patients. 

Education and Awareness - Must educate the patient about their pain before treating him/her. They must understand WHY it is important to address certain issues. 

Integrity- Can not be purchased. Must be practiced and demonstrated to all patients. My primary concern is their well-being. 

Educational Background: 

Meharry Medical School- Nashville Tennesse 

Internship in General Medicine - Washington Center 

Board Certification- Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 

With 30 years of experience in pain management. Started in 1991. 

Fun Fact: I like to read, research, and discover our history. Love outdoor activities to include hunting and fishing. 

What I live by: "Treat people the way you would want your family to be treated." - Dr. Anthony Alexander
