Meet Dr. Franklin Alexander (White Bear Lake, MN)

Franklin Alexander, O.D., received his Doctor of Optometry from Midwestern University Chicago College of Optometry. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from North Dakota State University in 2020.

Dr. Alexander’s passion for eye care began in childhood when he needed glasses to see clearly. Experiencing firsthand the impact of good vision, he developed a deep appreciation for the field and a commitment to helping others achieve their best sight.

For Dr. Alexander, optometry is the perfect blend of science, problem-solving, and patient care. He values the opportunity to build lasting relationships with his patients while staying at the forefront of innovation in eye health. He enjoys providing comprehensive eye care and finds fulfillment in using advanced technology to improve his patients’ vision and well-being.

In his free time, Dr. Alexander enjoys reading thought-provoking fiction, playing video games, and going on walks with family. He is also learning new skills, including swimming, ice skating, and skiing.
