Robert W. Alexander, MD, DMD, FICS is an internationally recognized aesthetic & reconstructive surgeon, author, teacher, pioneer in use of stem/stromal cells in clinical practice, and a recognized leader in the field of CELLULAR & BIOCELLULAR REGENERATIVE MEDICINETM. Contributions in use of adipose-derived stem/stromal cells combined with high-density platelet concentrates in the areas of aesthetic surgery, open flap surgery, chronic wound therapy, and orthopaedic medicine/surgical fields is considered novel and important contributions.
Dr. Alexander graduated Magna Cum Laude with full honors from University of Florida School of Medicine and St. Louis University School Dentistry. Contributions in the areas of craniofacial trauma- reconstruction of major defects, and general aesthetic surgery are recognized by his peers, including induction as a Fellow in the prestigious International College of Surgeons. His primary research-clinical practice is now Missoula MT. Publication of many articles in peer-reviewed medical literature, contributions to multiple textbooks, and featured speaker in national-international venues on the subjects of plastic surgery and regenerative medicine applications; particularly those in musculoskeletal and orthopaedics are well recognized.
Recipient of multiple awards and recognitions in the areas of his primary specialty, as well as in the evolving uses of stem/stromal cells. His academic affiliation with the University of WA (Seattle), whilepracticing/teaching the latest advances in Cellular & Biocellular Regenerative treatments in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Orthopaedic Regenerative Medicine. Using his scientific orientation and experiences, extensive clinical surgical experiences combine to make him an acknowledged and respected expert in the areas of cellular-based therapies across multiple disciplines of medicine and surgery. He is currently a Principal Investigator in numerous FDA Clinical Trials.
