A Patient at Rush University Medical Center - Dec 2022
Dr Alvarado was the perfect mix of thoroughly explaining things but also being reassuring. She has an excellent "bedside manner". She made it clear that my preferences would be respected but was willing to clearly indicate her recommendations when I asked. She never made me feel rushed; she was willing to spend as much time with me as I needed.
