This was my first visit with Dr. Alvarez. He replaced a provider that I had had for quite a few years who had left. And so I was a little leery about him, but found him to be amazingly professional, very attentive. I'm very pleased with my new provider, Jorge Alvarez.

I would prefer the person who did my blood pressure to go over the list of medications and supplements. I completed the Pre visit online form which lists all the medications and supplements. Dr. Alvarez spent 5 -6 minutes going over each one again. I would have preferred to use that extra time to discuss aspects of my heart. There were 2 meds that I deleted on the online Pre appointment. The discussion on that was appropriate. I also would have liked Dr. Alvarez to recheck my BP which was high when I arrived.
