Dr. Alexandria Montgomery

Dr. Alexandria Montgomery DNP, CNM, WHNP-c was born in Lima, OH but spent most of her life in Germany, where she met and married Jerry Montgomery, and raised four children. Alexandria became a nurse-midwife in 2009 after graduating from Shenandoah University.  She has dedicated her career to women's health by first graduating from Vanderbilt University and becoming a women's health nurse practitioner. Giving birth in Germany with midwives sparked her fire of the midwifery call. Integrating part of the European model of midwifery has driven Alexandria's own midwifery practice. Alexandria has experience in rural community, birth center, and large health care systems, she also maintains her faculty position with Fayetteville State University, where she has helped train future nurses for the past six years.

Personal experience with a midwife led certified nurse-midwife Alexandria Montgomery to pursue the field. "I had all four of my children with a midwife in Europe," Alexandria shared. "I wanted to bring that same model of care to women in the United States. "With my midwives in Europe, I received a level of care that is not always the standard in the United States," she continued. "My providers offered not only prenatal care, but gynecologic care for women throughout life, always with a focus on prevention and wellness. And, their care extended beyond medicine to include emotional support. Now, I am proud to deliver that to my clients as well."Outside of work, Alexandria enjoys spending time with her husband, as well as and their two sons and two daughters. "We love spending time together," she said. "You'll often find us playing games. And, we have done our share of traveling. One of our biggest memories is a family road trip from Tennessee to Fairbanks, Alaska!"
