I was walking pain-free hours after surgery. Of all my major procedures this was the easiest of the bunch and I would not think twice about having Dr. Alvarez do the other hip (hopefully I won't need it but he will be the only doctor I'd consider) I've known a lot of surgeons and he is simply the most personable and compassionate of them all!

I was called as soon as I sat down. Dr. Alvarez was friendly and knowledgeable and advised me tgat while on kidney dialysis & chemo I take a risk of getting an infection & if that happened he would have to do the surgery all over again. So for now I need to cross my fingers that I can soon be done with the dialysis.

She informed me I was in luck. He was available next day. I arrived at a very commercial looking Joint & Spine center, they did scan of my KNEES! Girl who did it was Compassionless & cold. Dr Alvarez then informed me he ONLY does KNEES. SO I was manipulated into an appointment with WRONG DR. on purpose. HE got his FEES, my co-pay, informed me of arthritis I already knew I had and referred me to appropriate Dr. while laughing at the mistake that cost me $45 & insurance. NEVER again!

-- Yelp Old Fart Review! -…read more Yup, I'm 72 and us older folks often need lots of tests. I have been using this hospital for about 12 years. I've reviewed them before, but this is an update focusing on their testing services! But wait you say, "I've been using one of those two big testing chains that seem to be everywhere." One of those is much closer to me, but I still go here for testing and here's why- 1. Easy Parking- Park in the big front entrance lot. If you are mobility impaired or just not feeling well, a volunteer in a golf cart will pick you up at your car and run you to the front door. 2. Wonderful Hours- 6AM-5PM M-F. 3. No Appointment Needed- I usually wait less than 10 minutes. Note that if you desire, the app will let you make an appointment. Pro Tip- A lot of folks have an order for a "fasting" blood test. So, they fast overnight and show up first thing in the morning. The morning rush ends around 10AM. 4. Solid App- Generally you get your results the same time your Dr. does. 5. Crazy Fast Results. Most folks get some type of blood test or urinalysis, and I've done both many times. My drive home is 7 miles and usually, while I'm driving, my app notifies me the results are available! That's incredible! As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of testing here. When you're going for these tests, you're already under some stress because something might be wrong. The last thing you need is more stress and I don't experience that here! 5 stars!
