Originally from Manassas, Virginia, Dr. Alexa Dantzler moved to Atlanta to pursue her undergraduate studies at Emory University. Following graduation, she spent a gap year serving as a Global Health Fellow at the St. Joseph Clinic in Thomassique, Haiti, through the non-profit organization Medical Missionaries. She later returned to Atlanta to earn her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine. She completed her pediatric residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Ohio. She has always cherished this city and is excited to return to the Atlanta area to begin her career in primary care pediatrics. Her clinical interests include preventive medicine with a focus on childhood wellness, nutrition, physical activity, and healthy sleep habits. She is passionate about caring for children of all ages—from newborns to adolescents—and fostering long-term relationships with families. Outside of medicine, Dr. Dantzler enjoys spending time outdoors with her fiancé and their Labrador retriever, Pía. She loves hiking, swimming, fishing, and exploring U.S. National Parks.
