“My first office experience with Dr. Carlos Alvarado and his "team" (including his various assistants) was extremely positive. They were collectively very welcoming, attentive and responsive to answering all of my questions and concerns. Particularly noteworthy were Dr. Alvarado's efforts to thoroughly review my past medical history and to explain the results of the diagnostic X-Ray information that had been taken during my visit. Our time together was therefore very productive.”

This was my 2nd visit with Dr. Alvarado. He was patient and interested in what I wanted to share about my condition and my reason for seeing him. Our visit was efficient as well. We covered a number of topics, got x-rays and then immediately returned to an exam room to review the images. He is a surgeon, but for my case he made non-surgical recommendations which I very much appreciated. PT and OTC supplements for now.
