I have been with Dr. Alvir for a few years now and the care that I receive from her is always exceptional. She listens attentively to your concerns and really shows genuine care. I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Alvir. She’s knowledgeable and a compassionate doctor!

11/13/2024

Things seemed to be different when Dr. Alvir had her own office. I don’t like how things are now.

11/12/2024

This was a good appointment…we covered all my issues and developed a plan of care together.

11/07/2024

Dr. Alvir is a very professional and personable doctor. She listens to my concerns and answers all the questions I have for her. She does make suggestions to me to improve my health management. She is my favorite doctor of all time!

11/06/2024

Love her

10/17/2024

I have been a patient of Dr. Alvir's for many years. The doctor is nice, professional, and thorough even when I'm cranky. Sometimes she drives me crazy with all the tests, but in the end, the tests have often revealed things I had no idea were happening. I can't see myself ever changing doctors.

10/17/2024

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND CARE

10/13/2024

I always have the best experiences with Dr Alvir.

10/11/2024

Dr. Alvir is the very best of specialists by far.

10/10/2024

Dr Alvir really listened to me, and tried to explain every procedure so that I was comfortable.

10/03/2024

Did a great job.

10/02/2024

Dr. Alvir is a great doctor. She listens to my concerns, she is attention, pleasant & assists me with my health issues.

10/02/2024

Dr. Alvir is the VERY best doctor I have ever had. I'm so grateful.

09/25/2024

Very kind, knowledgeable and thorough.

09/25/2024

She is though and makes sure health issues receive proper attention from other physicians, as needed

09/19/2024

I truly appreciate how Dr. Alvir provides comprehensive and focused attention and care. She is never rushed and she answers any questions thoroughly.

09/19/2024

Very kind, very thorough. Due to that she needs to schedule more time for her appts. so that the wait times are reduced.

09/18/2024

I never feel rushed with Dr. Alvir and I know if I have a wait (which I had a very short one), she's giving another patient the same attention I can expect to receive.

09/13/2024

made me feel cared about

09/10/2024

Dr. Alvir is relatable and kind.

08/30/2024

Dr. Alvir was a great listener to my medical issues and she understood everything clearly and her suggestions were great. I was impressed that she spent enough time with me to listen to my concerns.

08/29/2024

Dr. Alvir is very nice and great listener.

08/29/2024

Just wish there were a way to find out when appts are behind schedule. My schedule gets negatively impacted. It’d be nice to have a way to lessen that impact

08/28/2024

She is very kind and personable. However, I see from the notes that she's assumed starting dates of diagnoses that are incorrect. Likely because the on line chart doesn't go back far enough.

08/20/2024

She is very thorough.

08/08/2024

Hard working and compassionate. Dr Alvir deserves a raise,!!

08/02/2024

Dr Alvir is great and always spends a lot of time with me to hear about my problems. She gives PLENTY of solutions and options for care. She cares more about my health than I do I think.

07/30/2024

Jodi called me the day prior to check if my issue warranted an earlier appointment with Doctor Alvir.

07/09/2024

Good day,been with Barbara alvir,for 2 to 3 years now and overall got things under control and always suggesting new ways to improve..

07/02/2024

None at this time,been good provider..

06/26/2024

Great dr.shes a one of a kind...

06/14/2024

Dr Alvir also follows up with a message on all of my visits, and result's of my lab test.

06/05/2024

Running 1 hr behind is not respectful of patients’ time. My husband saw the same provider~3 weeks ago and she was 1 hr late for him too.

05/25/2024

Dr Alvir is one of the most compassionate and intelligent doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. I moved to the downriver area from Livonia and I choose to stay with Dr Alvir. I travel for close to an hour for my visits. That’s how awesome of a doctor she is. I appreciate her hard work ethic and ability to listen and communicate.

05/08/2024

She said it shouldn't have been a video call right off the bat due to my symptoms. I agree but scheduling staff only gave me that option for the next month!

05/07/2024

I will return and would like for this to be the office I visit going forward.

05/03/2024

To rated. She always show how concern she is about your health. No matter how bad you are feeling when you enter the exam room, you are always feeling hope when you leave. She is an outstanding doctor that I am bless to have💕

Dr. B. Alvir is an outstanding physician. I have been with her for approx. 5 years and she is one of the most caring, easy to talk to physicians I have ever had. She listens and actually cares to figure out a soulution to your concerns and problems.

01/04/2024

It was a very long wait

01/02/2024

She was kinda rude today and her phone was not on silent, she kept checking it and her watch while we were talking and messaging on the computer. Said she was going to send in a prescription but I had to email her to get clarification because something different was sent. She seemed rushed but spent a lot of time with me

12/28/2023

All was great.

12/28/2023

I never feel like I’m being rushed. Dr. Alvir is always kind and asks a lot of follow up questions to get all the information.

12/21/2023

Overall a good medical experience. I'd appreciate if the provider asked questions without ALSO trying to answer while we gather our thoughts to respond.

12/21/2023

I felt a bit rushed during my last appointment, since appts were running behind

05/08/2023

I have no concerns with my provider. However, my time felt rushed, which I attribute to no fault of her own. However, I know that physicians are allotted a specific amount of time, and I felt that I didn't have enough time to discuss some matters.

I like service

02/09/2023

King and thurough

02/04/2023

I had to see another doctor in the practice because mine wasn't available but she was great.

02/04/2023

Good

02/01/2023

I suggest getting blood work done before the doc appt to discuss in person the results
