Dr. Alex Whitaker-Lea is a top notch neurosurgeon and cares what is best for her patients. She talks to you about all the options and explains on your level exactly what is going to take place. I have recommended her to anyone that might be facing the same issues I was having and could possibly need surgery. God has placed her right where she needs to be in a career.
This was my first visit with Dr. Whittaker-Lea and she is excellent. She listens and answered all of my quest. She has a wonderful demeanor and is very thorough in her plan of care. I’m very happy to have found her!!!
She was very helpful in telling me what my MRI and exrays was saying how my back is bad and she could do some surgery on it to give me relief of pain on my back. And she had a cancelation in 2 weeks and I took it. She's a very sweet doctor.
