Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Alvarez Is by far the best primary care Dr that I have ever had. He takes his time with his patients and truly listens to me. I suffered for 6 years w a severe health issue and had been hospitalized several times w many specialist. No real diagnosis. My first time meeting him, he was able to figure out what was going on. Is sense of humor is contagious. The next best thing to him is his 2 dogs( non allergic) that comes to work w him. I would and have recommended him to my neighbors and friends. Give him a chance, you will be happy you did!

Highly disappointed in this office and Dr. Alvarez as a "physician". My 81 year old mother who survived breast cancer, who has a heart valve replacement, who is bed bound from a botched hip replacement, was sent home with antibiotics for a burst abscess (the swollen gland Dr. Alvarez initially told her not to worry about) was not healing. The wound care RN nurse that was coming to treat her advised that he had to get his supervisor involved due to the lack of response from Dr. Alvarez office as he never submitted an order, or replied to the future call in to update him on the non improvement. It's horrific how a "Doctor" who took an oath, can neglect and brush senior citizens to the side, can't even return a phone call!!!??? Appalling. It's been 5 days since she completed her antibiotics, the RN advised to find a new primary care physician for my mother, and we are taking her to the hospital since "Dr." Alvarez chose to neglect her care.

Dr. Alvarez is the real thing. You must have the wrong Dr. Alvarez. It bothers me that anyone would write something derogatory about my Doctor. Hope this sets the record straight Dr. Luis Alvarez is an amazing Doctor. He is honest, genuine, and caring. I have been his patient for over a decade . I would not consider going elsewhere

We have been patients of Dr. Alvarez for about two years. He treats everyone like family, and gives each patient as much time as they need (which does sometimes lead to a longer wait time to be seen). The only downfall is that, with such a small practice that has lots of patients, it can be hard to schedule an urgent appointment - and you can have a wait of 3+ hours as a walk-in.

Doctor Alvarez is one of a kind, he still spends time with you, doe snot give you medication you do not need, and he truly cares about his patients. Yes the office is busy but they offer walk in visits anytime if you do not have an appointment.

This doctor is the Ultimate Scam, first I went with my wife to do the exams for my residence after charge us $450.00 to do the exams he filled the form wrong in the first place, after a few months of waiting I receive a letter from my case telling me that the form was filled incorrectly, I called him regarding this and he told that I had to pay another $450.00 to repeat all the tests. If that weren't enough I went to do the annual check and he missed the laboratory tests from his office.
