Local healthcare landscape in Alexandria
Alexandria's Historic Preservation Commission maps historic districts including the Original Town Historic District, which runs along the Red River levee, and the West End Historic District, once its own incorporated city of West Alexandria. The same page describes residential architecture in the Alexandria Garden District as representing a period of prosperity and growth in Alexandria from 1905 to 1950, and it names the Alexandria Post-War Suburbs National Register District. Rapides Regional Medical Center says on its About Us page that it began in 1903 as a small, two-story wooden building, and lists cancer care, cardiac rehabilitation, and obstetrics and gynecology among its services. CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital lists its location at 3330 Masonic Dr. and names CHRISTUS Cabrini Rehabilitation Hospital.

What we'd prioritize for a Alexandria practice
Picked from the figures above by fixed rules.
An opening for plastic surgeons
No NPI-registered plastic surgeons list a practice address in Alexandria (nationally there is one for every 58,824 residents). That leaves fewer local competitors for a plastic surgeon in search; see our marketing for plastic surgeons.
Hold on to existing patients
Alexandria had 2,337 fewer residents in July 2025 than in April 2020 (−5.2%). With fewer new residents arriving, we would set up patient texting first, to keep existing patients coming back.
Insurance and payment options first
The median household income in Alexandria is $47,113, against $80,734 for the US. Plans accepted and financing belong on every page of the website.
Start with reviews and the Google Business Profile
One NPI-registered dentist per 1,047 residents in Alexandria (US: one per 1,340). We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve had a great experience working with Medi-Edge. They helped design and build our website and have also been handling our SEO and online advertising. I’ve been very satisfied with both the quality of their work and the results so far. Kellen, the owner, has been especially great to work with. He’s been very responsive, helpful, and personally involved whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. It’s been nice working with a company where the owner is accessible and genuinely cares about making sure you’re happy with the service. Overall, the entire team has been easy to work with and understands the needs of a dental practice. I would definitely recommend Medi-Edge to other dental /medical practices looking for help with their website, SEO, and digital marketing.
As a fairly new business going into our 5th year I can say this company truly walks it like they talk it. There are many companies promising new companies the stars and the moon and as a new business you have to take risks and invest. If your looking stop and sign up with this company, constant communication, monthly updates, and can always reach them whenever you need an update to your website or help with your google business. I'm glad we found this gem and we always keep it real at IMED DTLA so if your a new business this is your sign. Not only are the prices reasonable the work is amazing and efficient!
I’ve had a great experience with media-edge marketing Kellen and his team are very responsive and always get to my requests in a timely manner. They are also kind, flexible and seem to care about my business and success which is important to me as a new small business owner. Looking forward to growing with them!
