Dr. Alvarez moved back to North Carolina and joined Arbor ObGyn (previously Atrium ObGyn) in 2003. He and his wife live nearby with their four daughters. Dr. Alvarez’s wife is a professor of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Duke University.

“I love that ObGyn provides the opportunity to truly connect with families during pregnancies and that I also can care for women through all stages of life. 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.”

When Dr. Alvarez is not having a dance party in his kitchen or playing four-square, you might find him swimming, biking, or running. He has competed in all triathlon distances, including completing a full Ironman! He also enjoys boating, golfing, and OSU athletics.
