    I highly recommend Dr. Alvi to be your doctor: she is wise, kind, and skillful. A medical professional recommended Dr. Alvi when she suspected that I might have a large fibroid/tumor. Dr. Alvi gave me options about strategies in going forward and explained the effects of each. When I shared with her that I needed the fibroid removed within the month (otherwise, due to work, I would have to wait five months for the next available time frame, which could result in an even larger fibroid and continued anemia), Dr. Alvi made herself available for surgery. In other words, six days after Dr. Alvi confirmed that I had a uterine fibroid that needed to be surgically removed, she skillfully performed the myomectomy, and I was on the road to recovery. Because of my anemia, Dr. Alvi arranged for me to have a blood transfusion before the surgery and determined (through a blood test) that I needed one after the procedure. During the surgery, Dr. Alvi sent assuring messages with one of the surgical staff to my family in the waiting room. All in all, I am so grateful for Dr. Alvi's impressive expertise and warm care.
