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.

Very smart, honest and to the point. Has helped resolve many health concerns. I am thankful for a great Primary Doctor.

He is a great Dr.
Dr Alav was my primary Dr for several years. I am no doing a lot of driving nowadays so I had switch to another Doctor closer to home. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make he took excellent care of me. He cares about his patients and his staff are amazing.

15 years a Patient
Dr Alav, Peers and Staff have been our Primary Care Physicians for over 15 years. You won’t find a more professional yet caring group to help with your families health needs. They care and supported my Intellectual and Physically Disabled daughter who is 37 years old. They were there for me helping care for my mother during end of life and they have cared for me and kept me healthy to care for those I love. Your health will be in exceptional care, health support and kindness during all life challenges.

Dr can careless about actual patients unless you are in the weight loss program. He is not thorough. He does not give diagnosis or changes in a professional, timely manner. He is checked out when it comes to what the patient really needs. Very sad to have people like this who people rely-on for healthcare. His staff will lie on his behalf and cover for his inconsistencies. The Physcian Assistant-she is shady and deserves the side eye. She is unprofessional, hardly smiles-angry spirited.

The staff is very friendly. Dr. Alav and his assistant are wonderful. He listens and he is also aware of what your insurance will cover and won't and makes suggestion so help with the expenses. Both my husband and I have been in and we both are thrilled with the care. He is very knowledgeable! He was recommended by a friend and I have already recommended him to others.
