Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

PAH and Lung Transplant
Dr. Alex Treated me before and after a bi-lateral lung transplant in 2018. He was THE BEST. He listened and worked with me; he didn't just tell me what he was going to do. He left Illinois after hospital discontinued transplants because of the pandemic. I credit him with saving my life and I continue to do well. I was told that he was going to retire soon. I understand but we will miss one of the best!

If this is the Dr Charles Alex that I know at Advocate Christ Medical Center - Director of Lung Transplant. He is awesome !!! He is one of the most caring and intelligent doctors I have ever known. It was such a blessing to have him and his team for my bilateral lung transplant. He is a doctor worthy of your full confidence & trust.
