Patient Reviews
Apr 03, 2023
Dr. Alva performed a sigmoid colectomy on me back in November 2022. He was patient and informative every step of the way. He and his associates were courteous and caring. During the prep for surgery he personally went out to the waiting room to bring my wife to see me. Post-surgery and throughout my healing process I would call his office with questions, and I always received a call back from him, not a member of his staff. His responses were always within a couple of hours of my call. All my concerns were addressed, everything was explained in detail, and everything went precisely as he said it would. An amazing combination of skill and caring.
