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.

She is fantastic. She is to the point and thorough which is what I need. She is patient with any questions I have. She is knowledgeable about specialty medicine enough to be incredibly helpful when referrals are necessary. She is one of the best PCPs I have had. Though she is young, she has a keen understanding of my issues as an older consumer.

I found Dr. Alvarez to be very distant and not a good listener. Her follow up on conditions and blood work that is not within normal limits is very poor.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Alvarez?
Dr. Alvarez is very by the book and insisted that I have additional tests done for a medical condition I have had for over 5 years instead of focusing on the problem at hand. She did not take my refusal of additional tests into consideration and ordered them anyway. This was my first visit with Dr. Alvarez and I will be looking elsewhere in the future.
