Dr. Alwaya is extremely rude. You cannot ask him any questions whatsoever. He is impatient and dismissive of his patients and their families. He is either highly incompetent or grossly negligent. I would never recommend this Doctor.

Dr. Alwaya is an inefficient doctor at best. He’s rude and inconsistent. He cuts the patients off and speaks over them. Asking them how they are without actually listening. Dr Alwaya doesn’t care if his patients get well, only that they pay up and get out without causing him any trouble. He’s accusatory and misguided. Truly the worst doctor I have ever come into contact with.

Dr. Alwaya always accommodates all patients. Whether its an emergency or regular appt. His staff is very friendly and professional at all times. I never saw a doctor who takes so much time explaining a diagnosis to patients. He doesn't rush the patient out he always asks if you have any questions, if you do he answers them all. I would recommend this doctor to any asthma patient. He is excellent and get bedside manner.
