Dr Alvine came in with very aggressive, angry body language. He made me feel that I was a bother and wasting his time, hurrying thru the exam. I came in because I had a very disturbing episode of neck pain I never experienced before. He seemed upset that I was seeing him instead of my doctor at Mayo. Never felt that I could adequately express my concerns before made diagnosis, recommendations and left. Even though I paid good money for the visit, I never felt welcome or adequate explanation if my neck could or could not caused the problems.

From Dr. Alvine My father had a great influence on me. He was an orthopedic surgeon as well, and I had the opportunity to practice with him over ten years of the past 22 years of my practice. Over the years, I observed how he treated each and every patient as an opportunity to help them, which I try to do today.
