Curious from a young age, Alexandria Vierling, PA-C, felt driven to find out how and why certain diseases affected the people she loved. She wanted to know what could be done to prevent or treat disease, leading her to pursue medicine as a career. She finds gastroenterology intriguing as so many conditions seem to start in or are affected by the gut.
As a certified physician assistant, Alex sees adults for acute and chronic illnesses of the gastrointestinal tract, including reflux disease, celiac disease, colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. She creates a safe space where patients can trust her with their personal and medical information. By establishing long‑term relationships built on trust, she believes she can help her patients will find the answers they need. Alex values preventive medicine and strongly encourages everyone to get all regularly scheduled screenings, including colonoscopies.
Since high school, Alex has volunteered at the Beechwood Home, a long-term care facility for people with neurological disorders. She loves her Bernadoodle dog and enjoys football, pickleball, cooking and trying new recipes.
