I was very reluctant to see a male physician for this exam. I prefer female doctors generally but I was in a lot of pain so had no time to wait 3 weeks for a female doctor. When I got online to search for doctors his picture popped up and he looked pleasant and kind and had great reviews as well. It did not hurt that he was available in less than a week.
I was very pleased with his bedside manner. He brought levity to what could have been an otherwise very uncomfortable visit yet he was professional and made me feel at ease.. He was thorough and listened to my concerns. I honestly wish he was my primary doctor and I have Already recommended him to others.

Staff was nice
More than 1 year agoMelissa E.Verified patient
Thorough as could be, this is the third doctor I see regarding my gallstones and was orders of magnitude the best in listening to me vs jumping to conclusions immediately. He took his time explaining in layman terms and put me in the driver's seat as to what the risks were with each treatment plan. Most important I felt very confident with where to go from here, I was very confused prior to the appointment.
December 14, 2019Sixto M.Verified patient
Wonderful Dr! I ended up waiting an hour and a half probably because they were busy but the Dr talked to me for a total of ten minutes and that was it. I highly recommend him. Very professional and kind.

His bedside manner is excellent! For obvious reasons, colorectal issues can be embarrassing to talk about but Dr. Alcantara was so easy to talk to that it made it much easier.

Very professional, answers all questions, treated me with dignity and was very sincere. I trust this doctor very much (difficult for me to do easily). I wish he could also provide PCP because I would be extremely satisfied. His staff is nice, professional, and prompt. No time wasted here!
