With his extensive experience in hand therapy, Alex treats a wide range of upper extremity conditions. He has a special interest in sports-related injuries, strengthening exercises and helping patients manage pain and joint stiffness. In his free time Alex enjoys kitesurfing, stand-up paddle boarding and other outdoor activities. He also enjoys traveling to new places and has a young Labrador retriever that shares his passion for the water.

I worked as team physician for a local professional baseball team. I have also worked with the Tacoma Rainiers, the Seattle Marathon, Virginia Tech athletics, Rat City Roller Derby, Seattle Dragons of the XFL, and high school football teams as a sideline physician. I diagnose and treat a wide range of sports-related injuries. My special interests include ultrasound-guided injections including steroid and PRP injections. I also perform osteopathic manipulative treatments on musculoskeletal injuries when appropriate.

My practice focuses on care after surgery, managing overuse disorders, treating neuropathy and fractures, and creating orthotics. I was inspired to go into health care because I enjoy helping others.
