"Dr. Alvarez and the entire staff at the Diagnostics Center at Walnut Hill were outstanding. Everyone treated me with the utmost kindness and consideration throughout the wait time, which was short, and the entire procedure which also seemed short. I’d highly recommend the entire establishment."
"Great MD. No lie. She's an authority in GI related matters."
"Dr. Alvarez is one of the best doctors I've ever had. She is patient, kind, and genuinely dedicated to helping patients - all of which is much rarer among doctors than it should be. She walks me through her thought process when diagnosing issues, why she is choosing to run certain tests, what I should expect from medications/procedures, and discusses treatment plan options with me in detail. She listens to my treatment goals instead of just chasing her own agenda or ignoring my experiences in order to go with the most obvious (yet incorrect) solution (again, this should be expected - but instead it's very rare among doctors I've been to). She clearly knows a lot about GI issues, and is able to explain things clearly but not condescendingly to laypeople.
The only issue is that you have to make an appointment at least a month out - obviously, since she's such a good doctor, she's very popular and busy! (But I have not had any emergencies, so perhaps it's easier to see her on short notice if you have a time-sensitive issue.)
I definitely recommend her!!"
"Dr Alvarez is so kind and always answers question that I have.
Makes you feel at ease.
Her assistant is just like her. Calls back right away and always answers questions.
Dr Alverez is one of the best Dr out there."
"Today I had an appointment with Dr. Alvarez to follow up after a procedure I had several weeks ago. This was only the third time I have seen her. I am really impressed with the way she seems to really care and is interested in helping me. I appreciate the feeling of her sincerity and would definitely recommend her."
"Great experience. Friendly, helpful, professional staff and Dr. Alvarez is excellent. She provides competent, compassionate service and takes the time to explain in layman's terms. I would definitely recommend this practice."
"Dr Alvarez is very thorough and shows concern for my medical issues. She is easy to talk to and takes time to listen. Her office staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient."
"Great experience, would highly recommend Dr Alvarez for GI needs"
"She's exactly what I was looking for in a gastroenterologist. She listens to the patient, is understanding and thorough. Glad I chose her."
"Dr. Alvarez is very knowledgeable in her field. She makes you feel comfortable when discussing your personal issues and gives you the time to do so. I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs her services."
"The whole experience was great. Dr Alvarez and her staff and everyone at the facility were so nice and informative,I cannot say enough about how they made me so comfortable before and after the procedure. It is a great day for a screening!"
"Excellent MD!"
"Dr Lisa Alvarez is a Great Doctor"
"I had my first colon screening last Friday, 6-28-19 with Dr. Snowberger at Old Town Endoscopy. Not knowing what expect, I must say the prep was not pleasant, but it's not supposed to be - all things considered. Dr. Snowberger and her staff were not only nice; they were KIND. There is a difference. Her lady at the office called me the day before and walked me through some concerns I had. Once at the facility, no one rushed me, each person explained their role and what I was going to go through with them during my visit.
Dr. Snowberger came highly recommended by my Gyno Nurse, Melissa Lang and I'm so glad I took her advice. The pace was steady and over with faster than I thought it would be. I kept expecting discomfort after I left but it never happened. It all went so smooth. I was nauseous when I arrived but it went away once things got started and it never came back. It's still a bit of a mystery to me how well it went and how great I felt (and feel now) since it was done.
VERY grateful my screening results were best case scenario and that I don't have to go through that yucky prep for another 10 years, but I know I will return to Dr. Snowberger and Old Town Endoscopy!
Thank you Dr. Noel for such a great experience!

"I am giving Doctor Alvarez 5 stars because she seems to be a caring doctor that truly wants what's best for her patients.
However, the office staff, specifically the woman that works at the front desk was extremely rude (not the lady with the grey hair and glasses, she was nice) to an elderly woman that had been sitting in the office, waiting for an hour and a half. When the elderly lady asked her how much longer, the woman scoffed at her and told her in a very condisending tone that they had to get a room for her. At this point, I get up from my chair to speak to the nice lady, and the rude lady interjects into the conversation with an attitude the size of Texas, 'I already told her we are waiting for a room'. I am appaled at the lack of caring or empathy this woman showed to someone 40 years older than her. Pathetic. Please teach your office staff to respect their elders."
"Compassionate and excellent physician. Her communication skills are wondèful. Thank you Dr. Alvarez!"
"I worked with Dr. Alvarez before moving to Ohio and she was a great doctor to work for. She listened to her patient's and she showed compassion to each and everyone of them."
