Synopsis

Baby Doctor is an inspiring journey of the life of Gregor Alexander, who grew up in Colombia to become a beloved neonatal doctor in Florida. Alexander became close friends with legendary golfer Arnold Palmer and his wife Winnie and together they were instrumental in building two state-of-the-art hospitals for women and children in the Orlando area. During his career he served more than 40,000 babies in the neonatal intensive care unit and inspired many of his former patients to pursue medicine and join his team. Baby Doctor is not just a story of Alexander's life, but a lesson in how relentlessly pursuing a dream will often produce extraordinary results.
