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. Alvarado is a doctor who touched my life with his kindness and passion for delivering exceptional patient care. He is a brilliant surgeon who provides the highest quality of care with his empathetic nature in addition to his knowledge, love of his profession and calm demeanor. Dr. Alvarado always made me feel safe and secure. His bedside manners are outstanding. My surgery resulted in an amazing outcome.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast, possible cancer in second breast. Dr. Alvarado did surgery on first breast, and a further biiopsy of second breast, which did have cancer. A few weeks later, surgery was done on the second breast. Both surgeries successful, today I am cancer-free. I am very happy with the results.
