About Alex Central Health Center

Alex Central Health Center is a medical facility that provides pediatric care. While the reviews highlight some mixed experiences with the nursing staff, the overall impression of the center and its doctors is positive.

The pediatrician, referred to as Dr. Gawry-Strand, is praised for being great and deserving of 5 stars. Patients appreciate the time the doctor spends with them and the ability to make their children feel comfortable, especially those who are shy.

However, the nursing staff has had some inconsistencies. While most nurses have been amazing, there have been a few instances of rude, insensitive, and careless behavior from certain nurses. One nurse, in particular, made inappropriate comments about twins and even dropped a baby on the edge of a scale, which understandably upset the parent.

Despite these isolated incidents, the center is described as a "gem" with a caring and attentive doctor who goes the extra mile to ensure patients' needs are met, such as following up on missed appointments. Overall, the Alex Central Health Center appears to provide quality pediatric care, with a mix of positive and negative experiences regarding the nursing staff.

The first impression I had of the doctor was terrible and I didn’t want to go back. Being on Medicaid, choices are very limited. I was forced to stay because I couldn’t find anywhere else accepting new patients. Now, I love the doctor. He really does care about his patients.

Then, I unknowingly missed an appointment and he had the nurse call me to reschedule. He’s the ONLY doctor that I have ever had who seemed to actually care. Honestly, I am pretty happy with the… read full review
