Testimonials

Felicita Puente

Psychiatrist Alina Alvarez is a doctor who dedicates herself to her patients. She doesn’t rush her appointments and talks a lot with us. Finding a doctor like her is very difficult. I’ve been to many over the years, and they don’t interact with the patient at all; they just prescribe your medication. With her, it’s quite the opposite; you walk into her office devastated and walk out completely differently. You leave with a light that we mentally ill people have already lost. For me, she’s the best. She instills peace and a lot of security. Keeping in mind that mental health is difficult for us over the years, with her, it improves tremendously. She’s a very professional doctor; I recommend her 100%.

I consider my doctor, Alina Alvarez, to be very professional. She understands patients with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and so on. She offers positive advice. I wish all psychiatrists understood patients the way she does. I never want to lose her; she gives me peace. I feel like my mood has improved and my panic attacks have decreased. Her treatment is working.

Yarelys Ramos

I’m 40 years old and have been a patient of Dr. Alina Alvarez’s for six months. I can tell you that she has helped me a lot with my situation after my father took his own life. I was super depressed, crying all the time. I had no motivation for anything, and nothing motivated me. I couldn’t sleep at night because I had panic attacks. With Dr. Alina, I’ve been able to improve every episode of my situation. She is very caring and cares a lot about me. She wants to see you well and for you to move forward. She has been very important to me and a blessing. I feel like I’ve been able to recover that part of me that felt lost and unmotivated thanks to my doctor. I recommend her to anyone who may be going through any situation in their life.

I am the husband of a patient of Dr. Alina Alvarez, and I want to share my testimony about how she has helped my wife, Yarelys Ramos, slowly recover from her depression and other episodes of nighttime panic attacks. My wife’s screams and cries were horrifying. The death of her father was the worst blow my wife could have ever suffered, since he was the person, she loved most in her life. I lived with my wife through everything she went through and fought to see her father well, since he was suffering from nervous breakdowns. I also saw her fear and pain of losing her father at any moment until what she feared most happened: her father took his own life. Believe me, I thought I was losing my wife too. She withdrew into herself, blaming herself day after day for her father’s death. She tried to be strong, but the pain was too much for her, and we went through a lot. I am grateful to Dr. Alvarez for the fact that my wife is slowly recovering. I see her happier and more motivated. There are difficult days, but I trust the doctor because she has devoted so much attention and care to my wife. Thank you, Dr. Alina, for all your love for her. I know how much my wife needs you.

La psiquiatra Alina Alvarez, es un Dra. Que se entrega al paciente.  No tiene apuro en las consultas y conversa mucho con nosotros.  Encontrar a un medico como ella es muy difícil.  He pasado por muchos en tantos anos y nada de interactuar con el paciente, solo te prescriben tus medicamentos.  En ella todo lo contrario, entras derrumbada a su consulta y sales totalmente diferente.  Sales con una luz que a nosotros los enfermos mentales ya la hemos perdido.  Para mí, ella es lo máximo.  Me transmite paz y mucha seguridad.  Teniendo presente que la salud mental en nosotros con tantos años es difícil controlar, con ella se mejora muchísimo.  Es una Dra. Muy profesional, la recomiendo 100/100.

Maitee Gonzales

Mi Dr. Alina Alvarez la considero muy profesional.  Sabe entender al paciente con condiciones mentales como ansiedad, depresión, etc.   Ella brinda consejos favorables.  Ojalá y todos los psiquiatras entendieran los pacientes como ella.  No quisiera nunca perderla, me da paz.  Siento que mi ánimo ha mejorado y ataques de pánico han disminuido.  Su tratamiento está trabajando.

Yarelys Ramos

Tengo 40 años, soy paciente de la doctora Alina Alvarez desde hace seis meses.  Puedo decirles que ella me ha ayudado mucho con mi situación después que mi papa se quitara la vida.  Yo estaba super deprimida, me la pasaba llorando todo el tiempo.  No tenía ánimos de nada y tampoco nada me motivaba.  No podía dormir en las noches porque me daban ataques de pánico.  Con la doctora Alina, he podido ir mejorando cada episodio de mi situación.  Es muy cariñosa y se preocupa mucho por mí.  Quiere verte bien y que salgas adelante.  Ella ha sido para mi muy importante y una bendición.  Siento que he podido recuperar esa parte de mí que se sentía perdida y sin motivación gracias a mi doctora.  La recomiendo a cualquier persona que pueda estar pasando por cualquier situación en su vida.

Soy esposo de una paciente de la doctora Alina Alvarez y quiero dar testimonio de como ella ha ayudado a mi esposa Yarelys Ramos a recuperarse poco a poco de su depresión y otros episodios de ataques de pánicos en las noches.  Eran horribles los gritos y llantos de mi esposa.  La muerte de su papa fue el peor golpe que pudo recibir mi esposa ya que él era lo que mas ella amaba en su vida.  Yo viví junto a mi esposa todo lo que ella hizo y lucho por ver a su papa bien ya que el estaba enfermo de los nervios.  También vi su miedo y su dolor de poder perder a su papa en cualquier momento hasta que paso lo que más ella temía que pasara, su papa se quito la vida y créanme yo pensé que también perdía a mi esposa.  Ella se encerró en si misma y se culpaba día a día por la muerte de su papa y trato de ser fuerte pero el dolor pudo mas que ella y fue mucho por lo que pasamos.  Le agradezco a la doctora Alvarez que mi esposa se esta recuperando poco a poco.  Yo la veo mas alegre y con motivaciones.  Hay día de difíciles, pero confió en la doctora porque le ha dedicado mucha atención y cuidado a mi esposa.  Gracias doctora Alina por todo tu cariño con ella y se cuanto mi esposa te necesita.
