Mary Alvarado, M.D.

I believe patient care should be patient-focused rather than disease-focused and that, as providers, we must be considerate of the various backgrounds that our patients come from.

I enjoy providing education to patients when they are unsure of both normal and abnormal processes that their bodies are going through. I appreciate being able to work with them to find solutions for their health care needs and concerns.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and eating a diverse array of foods. I also enjoy hiking and traveling.
