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 takes time to go over your symptoms and listens to what you have to say. He doesn't try to rush through the visit. He's very compassionate.

I met Dr. Alvarez for the first time and was very impressed. I was a patient with another doctor in his practice, until he retired. Dr. Alvarez took time to answer all the questions I had for him and made me feel very comfortable.
