Alexander Milsap, MD

Alex was born and raised in Madison, WI. He completed his B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Business Administration at UW—La Crosse. He then went on to complete his medical degree at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. Alex was drawn to family medicine for its focus on long-term relationships with patients, families, and communities. His specific interests include sports medicine, urgent/emergent care, and medical education. His most valuable experience in medical school came from spending time with patients and from observing his preceptor on his family medicine rotation, who balanced his time between the clinic and hospital, in addition to taking care of patients in their homes. As a medical student, Alex did stroke research at Gundersen-Lutheran Hospital and also organized and implemented a series of health talks in conjunction with the La Crosse County board of health. Working in this community showed him the importance of education, outreach, and maintaining good relationships with the community. Outside of medicine, Alex enjoys spending time with family and friends. He is an avid sports fan and enjoys playing basketball, golf, and cheering on his favorite teams.
