Liza Alexander-Dean, DPM

Dr. Liza Alexander was interested in medicine since childhood. She comes from a family of physicians. Her dad was a surgeon who saved many lives over years of practice. She also has three brothers and a sister who are all medical doctors. Her interest in podiatry started when she was in college.
