Dr. Alvarez seems to be very compassionate and empathetic. He makes it easy to talk about my issues and concerns. He is also very knowledgeable about gynecological oncology, various treatment approaches, the drugs that are FDA approved that could be relevant as well as newer drugs that are in clinical trials. He is a valuable asset in my journey.
