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.

Went for a second opinion... was told 'wow 2 MRI's you had the million dollar work-up!' When first if she had taken the time to read the report the first mri was degraded& incomplete! I was called in to have it repeated! (Not by choice) also having a mammogram then ultrasound then MRI was all what the radiologist said due to results. Didn't know what they say routine test are considered 'million dollar work-up! Very terrible bedside manner & very said because she is Rush surgeon highly recommended & very dispointed. Please make sure she has time to actually read your chart & know why you are there!!!!!!!

The MD was exceptional and she gave me every information I needed for my treatment. She spoke to me the very best way a doctor was supposed to talk to the patient and removed all my fears about my condition. She helped brought my life back by giving me much hope that I will be okay after the treatment.

Dr. Alvarado was highly recommended. Her bedside manners were the best. She relieved any concerns with her thorough explanation iof my procedures . Dr. Alvarado discussed the pro and con of my pricedure. She asked me if I knew what my diagnosis is. I connect with her immediately. She has such a warm demeanor. I did not feel like Dr.Alvarado was rushing to see her next Patient. My initial visit with Dr. Alvardo was excellent. Thank you.

EXCELLENT PHYSICIAN. Dr. Alvarado is an excellent surgeon; I had little post-op pain and NO complications. Dr. Alvardo is a TOTAL Physician: EXCELLENT Clinician and Surgeon and a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Alvardo exudes a warmth that is caring and certainly comforting. She can discuss your conditions, because she has actually reviewed your chart; she provides indepth explanations of the planned procedures; she doesn't make you feel that she is rushed and has to move on to the next patient, which is rare in today's environment. I wish I I could have Dr. Alvardo treat ALL my non-surgical conditions!

Dr Alvarado is a wonderful and compassionate surgeon. She provided me with the best care, helping me through my breast cancer surgery. She kept me well informed with my treatment and the options available to me. I could not have gotten through this emotional time in my life without her expertise and compassion.
