Finally getting help

I like it when the doctor has a sense of humor

He is great but waiting over an hour when you have an appointment and then we came 20 minutes early so it was 80 minutes before we saw him! Not good service!

Can’t say enough about Dr. Very personable and knowledgeable! He has experienced same back problems as me. Always reassuring to have Dr. Understand personally what I’m going through.

Dr Alvine is thorough and professional. We came up with a plan that we both were comfortable with with no pressure. I would nightly recommend.

Excellent Doc. Very knowledgeable and honest. Does not rush.

Dr Alvine has been wonderful in finding my ability to walk again with his ankle replacement and close monitoring. I hardly was able to walk this past year and I am up now without pain. Tears come to my eyes as I thought I would be completely crippled with my RA and at my age. It was a disappointment that he was unable to view X-rays due to internet connection being down though.

Takes time to explain stuff to you but gets it done

Awesome Doctor!

Did not see Dr. Alvine at the initial visit.

Dr. Alvine was amazing! He listened to the problem, collected factual information by exam and X-rays, and rolled out a plan to resolve the problem. Definitely one of the best doctors I have ever seen!

Good explaining problems. But needs to slow down go easy on exam people that come to him have a lot of pain and older can’t be jerked go slower

After sending me to neurologist who ordered more tests now they don't wanna do anything with pinched nerves at L4 and L5. So guess since I must be part of older to not care for so I can continue to have pinched nerves. Pins and needles in lower legs and feet and have at times have issues with B+B. With incontince .Also have times where legs feel just gonna give out.The only time I don't have these feelings is when I'm in a certain position laying in bed. Then the needles go away . So I definitely don't think k this is diabetic related. As if it was the feeling would be there ALL the time.i had so much improvement after my Last surgery I so hoped I this could be resolved. As everyone isn't equal and we're made just a bit dofferent.BUT feel that due to fact I 73 yes. You are basically NOT GONNA CARE !!

Outstanding doctor, thank you!

Dr Alvine is great along with his PA and the staff. Courteous, knowledgable and professional.

Dr Alvine sits and explains what is going on with you and will sit and answer all your questions. He isn’t in a hurry to get you out of his office. A joy to have him as my doctor/surgeon.
