Included in the Best Doctors in America List, 2013 and Best Doctors in America List, 2014 Recipient of the 2013 UCSF J. Elliott Royer Award in recognition of her significant contribution to the advancement of psychiatry Judy W's review, Danville, May 2011 : "Attentive, knowledgeable and caring. Highly recommend." RK's review, Berkeley, October 2011 "Being in complete emotional distress due to perimenopause, I was looking for a doctor who was an expert in hormones and mood. Three different professionals all pointed me in the direction of Dr. Alexander. She was a lifesaver-not only was she warm, respectful, comforting, and hopeful, she is an EXPERT in her field. Her suggestion for my treatment took into account my entire life history and got me back on track in my life-the difference was like night and day. She was also very available for consultation in between appointments. I recommend her without reservations."
