I am very grateful to have Dr Alav and Dr Torna as my physicians. They have always been there for my health needs. They listen to all my health issues and come through, and make me well. I would refer my friends and family to Dr Alav clinic. Thank you for your hard work to make your patients better.

Came in today as a new patient. Sat down for 40mins after signing in just to be informed they aren’t accepting new patients today. If they office staff wasn’t so busy gossiping I’m sure they could have informed me sooner about this information. Overall extremely disappointed in this office and staff

I have been a patient for over a year now and have had nothing but great care. I've had no problem getting an appointment when I needed it & within reason when it was not an urgent matter. He has been very compassionate and seemed like he was genuinely there to help. He was quick but thorough and did NOT rush nor make me feel like I had to. Office staff was polite.

My experience was great the first time I had the visit with the doctor. He is very professional and such a humble person, he made me feel very comfortable. Also the staff is friendly and courteous.

A relief to be able to find someone that understood my needs. Been to several doctors and this was the only one that not only diagnosed me correctly. How do I know this, saw immediate changes.Thanks Doctor
