Excellent care, very attentive, eye contact, engaging.
Advocated for me to get a STAT MRI but then didn’t complete the prior authorization needed. Delay of care for now I have to wait till Monday to schedule MRI.
Friendly, knowledgeable and keeps me, the patient, calm.
He’s alway very king and gentle with the procedure I receive. He’s always smiling and the same. He seems genuinely concerned and advises me accordingly.
Muy bueno , espero que siga siendo mi Dt
Dr. Alavi is wonderful! He addressed all of my concerns and is making my knee so much better!
I did not know the hip,left, would dislike me. Had some errands to run, blood draw etc. The left is really barking. I am sitting while it throbs at noon , Tuesday Was not told to experience minor pain that intensifies when walking lifting or doing laundry. I wish we were told after effects set in late last night,9pm.
Very knowledgeable specialist
He listened, then looked at MRI and CT scan. He did an exam and then came with a plan for me that I concurred with. He Listened!!!!!! N
Had my X-rays pulled up when Dr. Alavi entered the room. Took a look at my feet/foot and said I had a deformity, probably since birth, but never really showed me or went into detail to explain why that was or what issues I would have because of it.
