Patient Reviews
Apr 20, 2024
Dr. Alvernia explained everything about my lower back problem. He was thorough in his treatment, starting at the top and working down. My major pain was in the lower back, and the damage there was extensive. However, Dr. Alvernia did a great job on my back. He has always been easy to talk to, and he will answer all questions and concerns. He really cares for his patients. I think that he genuinely likes what he does and is happy to see his patients recover. I’m glad that he is my doctor.
