Dr. Alvarez is the most impressive physician I've ever met! He's brilliant, very analytical, very compassionate and kind. His examination of me was meticulous and I'm very grateful for his assessment of my CT films. His overall framing of my situation was very hopeful and encouraging. He ordered a test and made a referral and really followed up. An excellent experience!
