Dr. Alexander was a one of a kind, old- school doctor. In many ways she was like a wise friend who listened with care and gently guided you to wholeness. I never felt rushed nor invalidated regarding my concerns. She was available after usual business hours and by text too. ALWAYS positive, calm and reassuring when I was not. What a sweet gift she was to me and surely so many. Only wish I had met her sooner and was in her care longer. Grieving her great loss to our slice of the world. Lisa

I phoned the office today to make an appointment and heard a recorded message that she'd passed away. I was instantly shocked and saddened. I had to listen to the message 3 times. Then I wept.
Dr A embodied everything all other physicians should emulate. She cared so much. She listened to all that was going on in my life. She took my symptoms (of too many diverse conditions over the decades) seriously enough to take action to make a diagnosis and took actions to make it better. I went to her whenever another MD brushed off my concerns or said nothing was wrong. Or you're a woman. Too old. Too fat. Too whatever.... She never gave up on me.
My husband used to be amazed that SHE would make follow up calls, even late at night or to just check in.
At every visit we would share dog stories as she knew i volunteer at a shelter and doted my 13 (so far) rescues. She was so worried about her pup's eyesight problem. I did everything I could to help find a vet. Poor little guy must be so lost and bereft without her.
Because of her love for animals I will send a donation in her name to my local shelter.
Janelle, you were the only family I was blessed to meet. My heart aches for your loss.

My deepest sympathies go out to Dr Alexander’s family. She was the most compassionate, caring, thoughtful and knowledgeable Dr that I have had the privilege of being treated by. I have been a patient since her days at Columbia Hospital. She always was up on the latest research that pertain Ed to me. She helped me get into Mayo Clinic quickly. She even gave me her personal cellphone number so that after I moved to Texas, I could still be in contact with her! That is how kind and caring she was! She always had time to speak with me and never rushed the call. The world has lost an amazing person and highly gifted physician. She will be greatly missed by many! I feel privileged to have been her patient.

She was quite simply the best Doctor anyone could hope for. Caring compassionate and skilled, she safely delivered my high risk pregnancy 27 years ago and never failed to ask how my daughter was doing whenever she saw me. She was an angel.

I called today to schedule my annual visit as I’ve done for over 10 years and learned of Janice’s passing. I’m at a loss. She was the most genuine and caring doctor I’ve ever met. I felt so safe in her care and I adored her. A tragic loss to the community, love and peace to her family and all who knew her.

Dr Alexander was a beautiful lady. She helped me conceive 2 children 32 and 34 years ago. She always listened and was very attentive to my needs. She always returned my phone calls when in need She was just an Angel. Rip Dr Alexander.

Our deepest sympathy to all Dr Alexander's family. We her patients will miss her forever and grieve with you. She was very special. With love and prayers.. Connie taagen and Tom taagen

Well done good and faithful servant! Without Dr. Alexander, I am not sure I would have ever been able to conceive children. Now four years later, I have four children. She was able to meet Baby Paul this summer and just delighted in him. She told me to take care until we meet again. She was an angel put on this earth by God to do his miracles. Thank you, Dr. Alexander for everything. We love you and will miss you.

She will be missed, always thoughtful of her patients concerns, more than most doctors these days, may she rest in peace and our thoughts and prayers with family and friends. Amen

Thanks for your HOPE and inspiration

I met Dr. Alexander when she came to practice in Milwaukee and found an office space in my Dad’s ENT practice at The Medical Arts building at Columbia hospital. She was an amazing physician … and we wouldn’t have our now 21 year old son whose middle name is Alexander, without her medical compassion and dedication.
Recently our daughter needed her and I was so grateful that Dr. Alexander was still practicing!
Her “hi there!” On a phone call was unique and a tribute to her compassionate patient care.
I truly never had a doctor that I’ve trusted as much as her.
I’m shocked and deeply saddened about her death. I will miss her.

My sympathies to all of Dr. Alexander’s family. I was honored to work with her in Arcadia. She was a wonderful doctor/surgeon, teacher and friend. She touched many lives and was a blessing to all who knew her.

Dr. Alexander and advocated for me when I needed it the most. Healing in her clinic was mental, spiritual and physical. Truly sent from heaven she had a way of making life beautiful for everyone she touched. I will always remember her spirit pouring out pure joy wherever she went. Praying for peace to your family.

Doctor Alexander made such a difference in my life over the last decade. Thank you Doc for your kindness, dedication, and sensitivity. My heart goes out to her family and other patients, who I know will feel her loss deeply.

She saved my life with surgery and I was still able to have a healthy baby.❤️

A devastating loss to your family and to the community. A fine Doctor that literally could work miracles at any hour of the day or night. The glow of her soul will shine on in all the lives of those she had touched. Rest in eternal peace my friend. You will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy to Mike, Jason, Janelle, and the entire family. I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr Alexander's passing, she holds a special place in my heart. She helped me with a diagnosis about 19 years ago when no one was able to figure out the issue. She was easy to talk to too, caring/compassionate, and I felt at ease with her more than any other Doctor I had encounter. Even though she was an hour away, I continued to see her over the last 19 years. She will definitely be missed but never forgotten! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers! Tammy

Dearest Mike, Janelle, Jason and all
of her family I am so deeply sorry to hear of Jan’s passing.She was one of my dearest friends and we were next door neighbors for years. She was one of the most caring, kind, and generous people I have known. She was always willing to help anyone in need.
She was a very dedicated talented physician and loved by so many!
You will truly be missed by so many of us. I remember on my 50th birthday you put 50 pink flamingos up my driveway in the middle of the night so I’d wake up to this surprise.
Thank you dear Jan for all of your love and friendship through the years!

Please accept our sincere condolences. Dr Alexander delivered both of our sons in 1998 & 2001. She was so caring, kind and compassionate. I was Blessed to see her again about a year ago and she had the same joy filled smile, laugh and was so thoughtful and caring. We feel Blessed to have known her. May the peace that only God can bring surround you in the days ahead.

Dr Alexander was truly one of a kind. She took wonderful care of me & my daughter. Made me feel so at ease. She will really be missed !

Dr. Alexander was an amazing doctor. She went above and beyond for me and my mother who saw her. I remember meeting with her to get some vaccines for my trip to Kenya. She told me about the school she helped open in Tanzania. She followed up with me multiple times before my trip to make sure I was all vaxed up. She will definitely be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Mike and your family. Janice was one of my best friends and mentors. She was also my personal physician when she worked in Arcadia. She also provided care for the most precious people in my life (Grandma Mary, & my children). Even though we hadn't worked with each other for awhile she has always been with me.

To Dr. Alexander's family, so very saddened to hear of her passing and extending my sympathy to all of her family. I thought so much of her, she was so down to earth, and kind and compassionate. I enjoyed working with her at times when she was in Arcadia, WI. I was also privileged to play music with her at times....She was a wonderful lady. God bless you all with your memories. May she rest in God's peace. Dottie Myers

So sorry for your loss. Your mom was the most kind considerate doctor. My mom loved her. She even got to go to your mom’s birthday party one year. She did not only take loving care of our mom but also the family. Arcadia was so blessed to have her.
