Joseph Michael Alvarez

Terrible experience

Awful nursing staff. Terrible attitude

No bedside manner. Didn’t tell me everything that he was going to do during a procedure, so the last part of it caught me off guard. He was very rough and made the procedure more painful than it was supposed to be. A very uncomfortable experience. Won’t be going back and would not recommend.

I don’t care about bedside manner I care about fixing my problem I don’t want to hear a lot of BS. So far he has been very competent.

My husband went to this Dr. He was so rude. When you hear you have cancer don’t you think the smallest kind of bedside manner would be wanted. Not from this man.

This was the worst bedside manner I have ever experienced. Not only was he rude to me but he spoke poorly about his nurses. His nurses were the best thing about his office. I feel bad for those ladies.

The doctor is extremely thorough and very straight forward. He is up to date in the latest urology treatment and will most definitely offer a second opinion in any situation that we don't agree. He is supposed to be your doctor not your friend...so if you want answers about your urinary Heath go see Dr. Joe Alvarez.

Been going for over 10 years -excellent diagnostician . I have recommended him several times to others .

Very experienced surgeon, no bedside manner. He's harsh and rough on patients. He's very slow, you wait forever to get in out! He's understaffed, very overwhelmed, impatient,too many patients as he is the only urologist in elizabeth city. Nurses are great, staff rude like him. His office is old, dirty and has old equipment. Needs to update and modernize to 2017 standards. Patients may take him more seriously if did. Great mind and surgeon. It's too bad.

The wait times are horendous sometimes over an hour after appointment I would look for service elsewhere if he wasn't one of the only doctors in town. Patient scheduling and management should be revised
