#WhiteCoatWednesday is a weekly feature from BlackDoctor.org where we highlight doctors all over the world who are doing something awesome in medicine. This week, we honor Dr. Andrea Alexander.
Dr. Andrea Alexander is an OBGYN, a Howard Medical school graduate and all-around, down-to-earth woman. I guess that’s why so many people on social media and in real life can relate to her. “Dr. Dre” as she calls herself, shares tidbits of health and her journey as a doctor on her social media. Fans and patients alike get medical advice, health tips, and a good dose of laughter with her posts.

Keep pushin little grasshoppah!”
