What I love about Arbor is that we have the most professional and caring staff one could ever work with; a true family. We hope you find it that way, too.”

OB Care

Dr. Alvarez always takes time and care to make sure everything is covered. His bedside manner is stellar.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Alvarez is always professional and listens to my concerns and questions.

Annual Well Woman Exam

The reason for my visit was to have my annual Pap smear, which Dr. Alvarez confirmed was normal. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and Dr. Alvarez took the time and care to ask how I've been, how I'm doing with my treatments, how I've been feeling overall and even how my family was doing. He gave his input on peri-menopausal symptoms I've been experiencing as well as my chemo side effects. Dr. Alvarez consistently provides wonderful care. I have been going to Dr. Alvarez for 6 years and I trust him with my life.

No friendly smiles and no one introduced themselves by name. I saw no name tags on anyone, so I guess no one wanted to be known. All the staff was like a robot.."come this way, you are seeing Dr...., the exit is to the left"
