"The first impression that I had of DR. Alverdy was that he had a very good bedside manner. Throughout my dealings with him I have had these same feelings. His office staff is very busy but they are willing to give you the attention that you deserve. He is very blunt about the risks/benefits that this surgery could have on your life. The aftercare program is very structured for those who allow for it. No one will be picking you up and making you attend these meetings and appointments they are for you so it is your business to make yourself available to be helped. I rate him as a skilled individual who is very knowledgeable about his field of work. Both his bedside manner and his surgical competence are great, I would reccommend him to anyone."
