  • We have a CHOP office 5 minutes from our house but we make the 30 minute drive, specifically for Dr. Alvarado. He is amazing with our kids and is an amazing physician. He has a very straight-forward approach, which we love, and is great at explaining what is going on with our kids when sick or healthy.

  • We are very happy with Dr. Alvarado. He was my first born's pediatrician the last few years. He now sees both of our boys. We never feel as if our visit is rushed. He always provides us with detailed feedback and thoroughly explains things to us in a way we'd understand.

  • We actively seek out Dr. Alverado when scheduling and will happily modify our plans to intentionally overlap his availability. I admire his seasoned expertise, calm demeanor, casual delivery of advice & reminders as he performs checks my kids. Our perfect blend of medical excellence, real world experience, & compassion for meeting newborn parents where they are (recovering, exhausted from hospital stay, tired, forgetful).

  • Dr. Alvarado was very kind in listening to my list of concerns at my 1 year well visit. He did not make me feel dumb for asking questions. He heard my concerns and even referred me to a specialist for an ongoing concern. For any other concern, he was very reassuring and I felt confident in the care my son received.

  • In all of my visits with Dr. Alvarado, I always feel so supported and never rushed. In my previous experiences with other physicians, they have made me felt rushed and as if they were just trying to get through the appointment to see another patient. Dr. Alvarado never makes me feel like I have any silly questions, and takes his time in answering my questions by also providing background on the situation and her professional opinion.
