Patient Reviews
May 06, 2016
I think Dr. Alvarez is an awesome doctor! He will try to get it right the first time, however, if something isn't working, he will try and try and try again until he finds the right mix of medication that works. He is also willing to try what the patients wants to try to see if that works as well. I like that he is easy to talk to and he does listen! I have recommended him to many and will continue to do so!
