    How was your appointment with Dr. Alvarez?

    Apr 09, 2022
    Have been a patient of Dr. Alvarez for 20 years and he saved my life more than once. Have COPD, asthma, recurring pneumonia and general pulmonary problems since childhood. He explained my condition very well and always prescribes the right meds to help me feel better. I have had to struggle with weak/scarred lungs all my life and am now 66 but know that Dr. Alvarez keeps me going strong, and without him I would not have made it this far. Very thankful for his care and experience over the years, I am lucky to be alive and he is the best
