Dr. Mathew Alexander knew from an early age he was born to save lives.

As a child growing up in Louisville, Ky., he watched intently as his father made an impact on people’s lives as a general surgeon. His father’s medical influence had an impact on his siblings, too. His sister is a Houston-based neurologist and his brother is a cardiologist in Corpus Christi.

....

His work is meticulous and thorough because as he explains, “One move a millimeter in the wrong direction could cost a person’s life, alter their ability to walk or a host of other debilitating complications. Precision counts in this field.”

Advances in technology make the work he and his fellow physicians undertake at the South Texas Brain and Spine Center even more miraculous. CHRISTUS Spohn Shoreline recently invested $4 million in a device called a cyber knife, which allows for less complicated surgeries and radiation treatments to get rid of metastatic lesions on the brain, thereby avoiding invasive surgery.
