Dr. Joyce Ann Alves, DO

Completely missed diagnosis I had babesia she never even tested for it I ended up in the hospital with a $3,000 bill that I would not have had if she'd have found a diagnosis. I am currently finding another physician

So glad to be finding another physician. Miss Dr. Garg and would NEVER use Dr. Alves again if she was the last physician on earth. She is cold, confrontational, unprofessional and vindictive. She has no bedside manner and no patience when dealing with individuals with special needs or complex medical conditions.

I've been a patient of Dr Alves for quite sometime now She is very patient and caring towards my health needs I would highly recommend her to others

condescending, and not in the best interests of the patient. I have to wonder why I encouraged such a challenge when trying to find out medical answers. I thought she would be a member of the team...I guessed wrong . Did I have an off day with her?

i never had to think about changing my PCP,until I visited DR.Alves .She is very distant and rushes you and you literally sit in the room with her no more then 10 min.she doesn't answer your questions of your concerns she just prescribes you meds.she tried enrcouraging me to take depression meds more than once when I overly told her I was not depressed!( im not in denial either) I am a very rounded person who can control their feelings. however, I wouldn't waste my time or money here.

The office staff and Dr Alves are all very professional. She took care of me when my own doctor was ill and I stayed with her. Dr Alves is very thorough and she really really listens. She addresses each and every concern and admits when she doesn't know something and needs to refer. I admire and respect that she knows her limits.

in and out of the room needs to spend more time with patients.

Dr. Alves is warm,kind,thorough and very consciencious. She runs on time and takes the time to answer all questions and address all concerns.

I had the same reaction to this office cranky staff always like you were bothering them. I too found Dr.Alves' treatment very cold and uninterested in my concerns to the point of acting preoccupied. Always used a weight related diagnosis. Once during a gyn exam walked out of the exam room and left the door open to get speculums out of the closet across the hall! I never went back.

My doctor has excellent diagnostic skills and a great bedside manner. I never wait in the waiting room more than 5 monutes yet I am never rushed in the patient care room. Each concern is addressed and sheis great with explanations. My whole family and my parents have her as a doctor
