I have visited Dr. Alvarez for my annual pap exams for the last few years and she was nothing short of excellent. Like a few others, I had also followed her from Ditmas Park, Brooklyn to Rego Park, Queens at NYU Langone. But I received a letter from them that she is no longer practicing there. I will now have to find another gyn :(

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Alverez for years. From her E.18th location to her Crown Heights location to her Rego Park location. She is extremely compassionate, patient and knows her stuff. She came highly recommended and I can honestly recommend her to others.

Dr. Alvarez is one of the best OB/GYN Doctors I ever had. She cleared her sxhedule to deliver my baby girl. I was very upset that she is no longer working for Advantage Care Physicians but very glad that I found her NYU Lagone/Columbia in Queens at 97-85 Queens Blvd. She understands your needs and wants as a patient and she guides you to the best of her ability. I recommend anyone to her.
