At age 14, Dr. Alexandra Lawson knew she wanted to be
a physician, an idea reinforced by her volunteer work at
Bethesda North Hospital during her teen years. She loves
the continuity of care that family medicine provides,
allowing her to develop long-term relationships, watch
families grow and practice a diverse set of medical skills.
Always service-driven, Dr. Lawson also wanted to serve in
the military. After medical school, she served three years
in the US Air Force in Mississippi, caring for active duty
members, their dependents and retirees.
As a board-certified family medicine physician, Dr. Lawson
sees patients of all ages, from birth through geriatrics.
She provides comprehensive care for acute and chronic
illnesses. She also offers women’s health care and
conducts gynecological procedures, like IUD insertion and
birth control implants. Dr. Lawson believes in empowering
patients to manage their health, taking time to discuss
important information and ensure understanding. She
encourages everyone to find a good balance of adequate
exercise, healthy nutrition and sleep to assure a more
fulfilling life and to be present for loved ones.
Originally from the Cincinnati area, Dr. Lawson and her
husband have two sons. She enjoys cooking, baking,
reading, running and following the Cincinnati Reds.
