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.

Caring, friendly, knowledgeable.
Dr. Alvarez is a great listener. She is skilled at asking the right questions, and was thorough about taking my medical history. The first visit was about 30 minutes, but I felt totally satisfied with her plan for diagnostic testing.

She is a great listener. She definitely cares about my health struggles when I have a flair-up. She tries hard to avoid surgery, but recognizes when it is time for surgery.

Review of Colonoscopy Procedure with Dr. Alvarez
From the beginning to the end, my experience getting a colonoscopy with Dr. Lisa Alvarez was stress-free. I know this sounds strange considering the type of procedure, but it was even quite pleasant. The atmosphere was upbeat, with everyone smiling and positive. All of her staff were professional and confident which makes it easy to relax. Dr. Alvarez answered all my questions in a patient and caring manner. When you combine expert knowledge, and a pleasant environment with a caring and patient staff, what more can you ask for? I have already recommended Dr. Alvarez to my son and my best friend. Dr. Alvarez and her staff were awesome. Thank you!! Great teamwork!!

First Colonoscopy
I have put off having this procedure for several years. I dreaded the thought of it. Since several family members were diagnosed with colon cancer, I knew I needed to go through with it. I am relieved I did. My colon looks great. Dr. Alvarez was very comforting and put all of my fears to rest. I definitely recommend her for all of your gastrointestinal needs.

Passionate and Attentive
Met with Dr. Alvarez to discuss my digestive health issues. She really focused and listened to current health concerns as well as following up on family history details. It was obvious that she is very passionate about her medical specialty. As a result I was able to quickly get a Colonoscopy scheduled the same week which resulted in a definitive determination and root cause of my digestive system issues. Really appreciate the fast turnaround.
