Patient Reviews
Jun 26, 2017
Dr. Álvarez is an excellent gastroenterologist! I have been battling gastritis for a year. She did an endoscopy and found I had gastritis. The lining of my esophagus was also irritated, which explained why I had problems with my vocal cords. This was a problem because I am a college professor. I need my voice to work. Dr. Álvarez prescribed the right treatments for me. I feel better! Dr. Álvarez has over 30 years of medical experience and she also is Board Certified. She has great bed manners!
