MIguel Alvarellos's Online Review Report Card

Dr. A took the time to listen to my concerns and discussed all the options he was recommending and why he recommended them. Most of the reviews are consistent with what my experience was like. He had a long waiting list, but I am glad I waited to see him.

Dr. A is very helpful. He is not the kind of doctor that will overmedicate you like a lot of other psychiatrists. He is honest and upfront about what he can and what he cannot help you with. none of my meds were working and part of the problem is that I kept going to a lot of different psychiatrists who would just change my meds one after another. Dr. A was very clear about the impact that my drug use was having on the medications I was taking and why nothing seemed to work. He did not change all of my medications and tell me that this medication or that medication was going to work. I eventually got sober and he was the only doctor I saw that actually took the time to explain to me what my diagnosis was and why nothing seemed to work. To make a long story short, I am now sober and off all my meds and I am doing better than I have been in a long time without meds. If you are looking for a doctor who is informative, understanding, caring and honest, Dr. A will be a great choice.

Dr. Alvarellos is very thorough and knowledgeable. When I saw him with my daughter for the first appointment he asked me a lot of questions about my child to get an understanding of what the challenges were. He asked me a lot of questions about my child's development, how she interacts with other kids, if she has been able to learn in school...just a lot of very detailed information that no one really asked me before him and I had seen therapists and two other psychiatrists who insisted on medicating my daughter. As is turned out, my daughter ended up having a learning disability that Dr. Alvarellos told me during the first appointment he suspected and the depression my daughter was having was most likely due to her problems learning in school which was affecting her mood and self esteem. He did not jump to medicate my daughter like the other doctors did and recommended that she have an evaluation for a IEP, which later confirmed with testing that my daughter indeed had a learning disability. We are now working with the school to get her more resources and just getting help she needs has helped her mood immensely. Dr. Alvarellos had recommend therapy and I can say my daughter is definitely much better now.

I would highly recommend Dr A. He is thorough and takes the time to answer all your questions.

Dr Alvarellos is the best psychiatrist I have seen. He takes the time to understand you and come up with what the best approach will be.

Dr Alvarellos is very helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend him

Dr. "A" is a great communicator and always listens before coming up with a diagnosis. He is not going to just talk to you for five minutes and give you a prescription and kick you out of the office like a lot of other psychiatrists.

He is a great listener. Dr. "A" genuinely cares.

Very thorough and understanding.
