When I got there they told me my appointment was canceled and didn’t know why.. I asked if I could just talk to the doctor and said no… I’ve been heavily menstrual cycle all of sudden at 60.. They just said they could make me another appointment next week.. When I had already been waiting a couple of weeks for the one I went.. I just don’t understand how inconsiderate they were.. I am not young and with this I am very weak..

I absolutely LOVE the Brandon office and the staff!! All the girls at the front desk and checkout, yall rock!! I will recommend this office to anyone I know looking. Dr Alvarez is absolutely hands down the BEST doctor there!! I love her so much, she made sure she spent the time to explain every detail to me and answered all my questions at every single appointment. She delivered my son as well. The day I was scheduled to give birth she was on call and made sure I was comfortable the whole time, she also made sure she was there and didnt leave until she delivered him!! She always goes above and beyond!!!! She is a true blessing to the practice!! She will now also be doing my tubal. She has been there from the start all the way to the end!!! She sincerely cares for her patients and she holds a special place in our family
