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.

It was horrible... He had us believing there was nothing wrong with my husband's arm,and after two years of doctors and specialist and two surgeries we are still unable to correct the damage that was caused by Alvarez not knowing what he was doing.

Great doctor!
Dr Alvarez was the doctor my elderly dad had while in the hospital a few years ago. He ultimately became his primary physician. He was so thorough, explicit & caring. I wish all doctors had this trait.

I met this doctor twice and explained some health issues I was having. I have been being treated by surgeons as well as infectious disease doctor who are monitoring. However when I met with Dr. Alvarez, he had the audacity without knowing specifics to suggest that it is time for a partial mastectomy! I left in tears, spoke with my other doctors who suggest I look for a new family physician as this was not the case. He had no right to scare the crap out of a new patient, glad he moved to new

Dr. ALVAREZ Is my mom s Dr. He has taken the time to listen to her. He has prescribed treatments to improve her health. And is the only Dr. That calls to inform us of lab results. He is very wise, detail oriented. Anyone who has him as their physician is well taken care of.
