Personal

Dr. Alex is a third generation dentist and second generation orthodontist. So naturally, he also married a dentist, Dr. Poppy, who is a specialist in endodontics. Dr. Alex and Dr. Poppy met in school and moved to lovely Franklin, TN in 2017. They attend church at Holy Family in Brentwood and are so blessed to have three beautiful kids—Scarlett, Augie, and Grace—as well as a cavapoo named Levi. When Dr. Alex isn’t at work you can find him cooking, cycling, or outside in his yard.
