Review for Dr. Hyder

Dr. Alvarez has always made me feel like I am the only patient in his office. I am never rushed nor ignored when I bring up issues that I am having or when I feel my meds need to be changed. He has been one of the few doctors that I have seen that has made me like I can put my health in his hands....
