Milton E Alvis Jr, MD

Wonderful doctor. Extremely thorough. Personally interested in your health and avoiding problems. If you put yourself under his care and follow his advice you can’t go wrong.

If you want medical help, don’t waste your time here. If you want a pre-​med lecture, he’s your guy.
First red flag — he was accepting new patients, and he could see me early the next morning.
Second red flag — the paperwork I was to complete ahead of my visit was outrageously lengthy and asked the same questions in several different places — and included a sheet with advice to keep it in your wallet that included your medical history and social security number. WOW. Not advisable in today’s world!
Third red flag — the office was dirty, and the equipment looked like it was from the 1970’s. After what seemed like an eternity listening to a lecture and being quizzed about my knowledge of how the body works, I finally asked if there was a medical exam in my future. He said it was important for him to understand how much I know about my condition before he proceeded. He railed against emergency rooms, the government and standard treatments for blood pressure, etc. His message — it can be controlled with your brain.
I finally got up and left. This was a ridiculous waste of time.

If you read my other reviews… you’ll understand why at 36, I’m seeing a Cardiologist regularly. Seriously though, I initially saw Dr. Alvis because I was experiencing debilitating migraines under duress (weight lifting, etc) and because I was trying to prevent a future heart condition (which runs in my family). It’s difficult to describe the level of service you receive from Dr. Alvis, because I never have experienced anyone like him in the medical profession.
Dr. Alvis is thorough, kind, and extremely intelligent. He actually takes time to talk to you and acts more as a coach than a «symptom reliever.» Dr. Alvis has written and contributed to several Wikipedia entries on his profession and is very active in keeping up to date with the latest forms of relevant therapy.
The staff at Dr. Alvis’ office is also second to none… Andy and Bev are some of the best folks on the planet… I actually ENJOY visiting the Dr. so I can catch up with them.
If you have the need to see a Cardiologist, or are interested in preventative medicine… do whatever it takes to see Dr. Alvis. He is indeed the best in his field.
