Very happy with the vist .
Dr Alavi is a very compassionate person. He explained the procedure to me in detail.I was nervous and he did his best to reassure me and distract me.
Great HC provider, clear and to the point…
Very nice
Would highly recommend!
Dr. Alavi was great. He explained everything regarding my situation and told me about different options. Once I made my final decision he had everything waiting for me at the front desk just as I returned to checkout. He is a great doctor.
He spent less than 3 minutes with me. Did a short physical exam, dismissed my concerns, glanced at my films, then told me to make an appointment with my previous Doctor at the same FL Orthopaedic Clinic. Unbelievable. Would NOT recommend.
My doctor is the best!!!
