Dr. Alvarez is an AMAZING dentist. He is patient and does a wonderful job. He uses the most modern equipment and procedures. Takes his time with you. He is very honest and will only recommend a procedure, if you really need it. Before going to Dr. Alvarez, I went to another dentist because my filling had fallen out. This other dentist told me he needed to replace my filling with a crown (very expensive). I was kind of hesitant because he was pushing the crown. So, I made an appointment with Dr. Alvarez instead for a second opinion, he said I just needed a filling, fixed it and my new filling has been good for 22 years. Dr. Alvarez is an AWESOME dentist. =]
