Dr. Alvarez is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. He was friendly, kind, patient, and very thorough in his explanations. I could not have asked for a better experience. Being referred to a cancer surgeon made me nervous. He put me at ease immediately. When it became apparent that I probably didn't even need someone of his expertise he was still kind and treated me with no less importance. I hope I don't need his specialty moving forward but I will be sad if I can't keep him as my doctor. Absolutely the best!!
