"Dr. Alvarez was a very upbeat energetic man who seemed excited for me to be getting this surgery. He never once seemed irritated at my questions or concerns - always ready to help in anyway. In fact, the phone was ringing as I was settling in and he answered the phone and tells me \"Susan, you have a phone call\". How many US Docs would do that? The office staff was just as kind and upbeat as he was - always ready to do whatever we needed to make things comfortable. Dr. Alvarez came to see me at least 4 times the first day. I have Restless Legg Syndrome and when I came out of surgery my legs started bothering me. My friend emailed him and within minutes I had meds. to take care of the situation. Dr. Alvarez has a full list of do's and don'ts after surgery as to what to eat and when to excercise etc. I was informed pre-op of all the risks of my surgery. The friend that went with me read over the web site and even commented that they have covered it all! She happens to be a Nurse Practioner and was just as impressed by Dr. Alvarez and his team as I was. She even said she wished she could have the surgery as well. I think Dr. Alvarez's bedside manner is outstanding but I felt completley confident with his ability as a surgeon."
