Everyone at orthopedic institute is amazing!!! Front desk ladies are an always so cheerful and friendly and patient. Dr. Alvin‘s nurse that works with him is so nice. She’s very friendly. She’s very thorough and she takes her time with me to explain anything especially if I have questions. She’s very good at just sitting and explaining things to where I can understand them and she doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rushed or that I’m not being listened to. I mean, the whole crew is just amazing. I love them.

I was unable to stand or walk for more than 10 minutes without pain due to spinal stenosis and sciatic pain. Dr Alvine did an A-LIF surgical procedure, and I can now walk and stand normally. In the office, he always takes the time to listen and answer questions. I am very grateful for his skill and expertise.

He was my 2nd opinion for spine issue and if I did not already have surgery scheduled elsewhere then I would have went here. He was great at explaining everything to me. Never made me feel rushed. If I get any issues in the future then this is where I will be going!!
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.
