"It was not easy for me to find or trust a Gastroenterologist since my bad experience with the previous one. Not to mention having to go through another endoscopy.

Dr Alvarez Liston to you , answers all your questions and explains everything patiently and he is very understanding to your needs. Thank you for being my DOCTOR"

"My experience with Dr. Alvarez has always been very good. No matter how minor or serious your problem is. He takes the time to listen to you. And I've never seen him in a bad mood. Always comes in and greets you with a smile. And doesn't make you feel like an insurance claim. I have seen many doctors over the years and I can say with a sincere heart Dr. Alvarez is a professional,very knowledgeable, and very caring. It's a shame not all doctors could be like him. I would highly recommend Dr. Alvarez to anyone who needs a Gastroenterology doctor."

"Dr. Alvarez Is very caring and understanding. He takes time to listen and genuinely cares about what you're feeling. I feel comfortable talking to him. He spends time explaining my condition and answering all of my family's questions and concerns on every visit. Other doctors never fully listened or cared. Some even interrupted me when I was explaining my symptoms...Not Dr Alvarez. He took interest and was able to diagnose and treat my ulcerative colitis. He helped me through several treatment options until we found the one that worked for me and accomplished remission this year. I'm forever extremely thankful for Dr. Alvarez!"
