About Me

As a physician, I believe in making every patient in my practice part of our St. Luke’s family. Going to the doctor is normally not a "fun" experience, but I strive to have every patient leave smiling. I am most proud of my diagnostic abilities; I enjoy diagnosing and managing rare pathologies and providing working solutions for patients who have been unable to find this elsewhere. I am a foot nerd. I have the ability to treat most common and uncommon foot pathologies with a range of conservative and surgical options. I strive to keep patients out of surgery as much as possible, but my surgical toolbox is broad and I can address the myriad of foot and ankle pathologies. 

I am a board qualified foot and ankle surgeon and am pursuing full certification in 2022. My specialties within my practice are forefoot and rearfoot pathologies with a concentration in limb salvage and wound care.

Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and any activity involving water. Most recently my wife and I find ourselves inundated with our young son, who is a ton of fun and thankfully loves the outside as well. My family is an avid SCUBA family. I formally was a dive instructor and whenever possible you will find me under the water. I also enjoy water skiing, snow skiing, hunting, hiking, and kayaking.

The only reason the doc Alexander S Newton, DPM didn't have my records was because my former doctor wanted me to pay 150 dollars for St Luke's to have them .The staff really went to bat for me and tried their hardest to retrieve them...they tried several different routes to get them.

Dr Newton is an excellent doctor. He knew I had a bad experience with a procedure in another foot doctor's care and he was very patient. He made sure that my toe was totally numb before doing the procedure. He is very knowledgeable. His after care instructions were very clear and understandable. 5 stars

Dr. Newton is a good soul. He has be taking care of my feet now for over 2 years and doing the best he can to keep me on my feet feet & In least pain possible. When your doctor is booked full 3 months In advance that's got to say something. Calling the main # to book appointment with him the earliest I could see him was August 7th. I sent him a message through My St. Luke's and within 24 hrs the office called me and gave me appointment in less then a week. Dr. Newton stood by his word that IF I needed him he fit me in and he did. Good honest man...

I had a great experience with Dr Newton & the Lehighton staff. Dr Newton didn't just rely on imaging & tests, he listened & upon re-examination discovered the tests were not conclusive. He used critical thinking & clinical measures to diagnose my condition & then fix said problem. I am pain free & do not limp when walking. That result is all because of Dr Newton. I am grateful. He also has the best jokes!
