Wrong procedure surgery
Please stay away from this doctor!!! My wife almost died because of his wrong procedures. Went to a routine colon surgery, the very next day she experienced a very strong pain. The Doctor kept us saying that it was gas and he let her out of the hospital, her health quickly deteriorate with a lot of pain, she couldn't walk and she was very weak. I took her to the ER one week after her surgery. There, they made several studies and found out that the internal incisions came off. She developed Peritonitis because of that and had to have surgery right away in order to save her life. She spent two weeks at the hospital and two weeks at the Rehab center after the surgery. Dr. Alvarado disappear after the surgery, he left, and another doctor took charge of her, we haven't heard anything about him, not even a single call from his secretary just to see if she's ok. My wife was healthy and happy, now she lives with a colostomy bag, her life changed forever thanks to this Doctor.

He didn't seem to listen to me when I was asking questions, I never got an answer to any of my questions concerning my health. I won't be going back to him.
