Dr. Ricardo Benjamin Alvarez, MD

As many have stated, the staff is tremendous. Dr. Alvarez seems a bit “scattered” at times. Wait times are at least 60-90 mins AFTER your scheduled time to see him, so please prepare to wait. I feel I have to continually remind him of my issues as he tends to rely solely on a labs. I notice he’ll also ask a question, but is extremely rushed as you attempt to answer.

Has given me too much medications. Always has more the next visit. Has given me medications contrary to my health issues. Makes me wait an hour every time. Has come into my room, dropped off his pc and left to talk to staff. When he returns I have to retell him the same thing over and over like he doesn't read his notes or care about me at all. Seems like he's more into giving me medication than understanding my problem. Was promised help for an issue and waited weeks and had to keep calling to remind them. Still never got the promised solution and it's been 2 months. Don't really think he cares

Very professional and his knowledge with the expertise they are not in doubt. The staff in overall they are great. My recommendation of Dr. Ricardo Alvarez they will for everyone they want still healthy and enhance his health.

I have been on an insulin pump for about 1.5 years and was doing well until earlier this year. When my prior endocrinologist did nothing I decided to get a second opinion. That is when I saw Dr Alvarez. My comfort level started low and continued to plummet as everything he told me to do was against everything I had learned over my 20+ years as a diabetic. He wanted me to test my less often rather than more often and to only bolus at mealtimes and not to correct a high sugar level. Since my last visit I went to the ADA website to research insulin pump therapy to ensure that things had not changed. Everything Dr Alvarez told me was contrary to what the ADA recommended. I therefore will not see this doctor again.

I have continued to do well with DR alvarez
