Very kind, knowledgeable and thorough.

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.

09/18/2024

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鈥檇 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

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's 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鈥檝e 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鈥檚 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馃挄

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鈥檓 being rushed. Dr. Alvir is always kind and asks a lot of follow up questions to get all the information.

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.

02/01/2023

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

01/25/2023

I had an employees offer to assist me to my car after one of my appt's. Very very cold out and apparently I was looking a little exhausted. As a RN for many years I was so touched by this employee.

12/17/2022

I think she need to slow down. Throwing lots of things at the patient can make things overwhelming. Also don't sound condescending when correcting a patient on what is actually bothering them.

Dr. Alvir and her staff are absolutely amazing! Dr. Alvir is by far the best physician that I have ever had in all of my years of life! She listens, is caring, and tries her best to solve any concerns that you may have! Excellent work ladies!

11/20/2021

I invariably feel cared for after speaking with Dr. Alvir. She is thorough, so I never feel as though I 'forgot' to address something. She may be tired but doesn't show it; she always has an upbeat attitude that helps me to feel like I can keep pushing. I love her supportive attitude.

11/15/2021

I waited 30 minutes in the room. She wasn't entirely familiar with my issues. I had to call the office 3 days after my appointment to get my prescription and test results. Very disappointed!

11/13/2021

My physician was very helpful and insuring about my health and well-being. She provided great care and attention toward my needs and health.

I adore Doctor Alvir. She is genuinely concern with my issues. She never seems rushed. Honestly, she is the best primary care doctor I have ever had.

11/10/2021

I felt like my provider didn't know who I was or why I was there.

11/04/2021

It was great.

10/30/2021

Physician mentions insurance several times throughout. Makes u feel like that's all she is worried about.

10/22/2021

Dr Alvir always has the answers I need for my questions and is always looking for health issues beyond the call of duty.

10/04/2021

This was my first visit with this Doctor. I am not a Fan of 'going to the Doctor' . This was an routine exam. Doctor tried to be thorough with history taking. Got bloodwork , referrals , and follow-up in a year.

09/29/2021

She answered my question, but like I said- any staff could have done this. There was no need to require me to have an appointment in order to get the answer to my question.

09/18/2021

I love Dr. Alvir and hope to have her as my physician until she retires or I die.

09/17/2021

Excellent

Love Dr. Alvir! Always thorough, respectful and informative.

08/12/2021

Was very apologetic for my longer than normal wait.She was concerned that I had not seen her in a few months.Also my transportation that bring me to see Dr. Alvir made me late and she understand about my transportation problem and she told me I could still come to see her even though I was late.

08/11/2021

This would have been my first visit for this Doctor

08/10/2021

Dr. Alvir is very caring and respectful. She listened very carefully to all my questions and answered them in a easy understandable way. Dr Alvir spends all the time that is needed to resolve any problems and never rushes. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my family and friends.

06/12/2021

Enjoyed meeting with her. She was assigned to me by Medicare agent. Great choice.

06/10/2021

Dr. Alvir is always thorough with her assessments and provides compassionate care. I left her office feeling as though every pertinent issue re: my health was addressed and that she truly cares about what is happening with me. As a result, I never feel as though I'm 'just' a patient.
