Jose J Alvarez, DMD

About a week ago, I needed my wisdom teeth to be removed. The office staff was very polite and welcoming to start my wonderful experience. Dr. Alvarez was very friendly and was able to ease my nerves by explaining the process and assuring me the recovery would be smooth before the procedure. The procedure itself was so quick he removed all of them within 25 minutes. His expertise speaks for itself! The recovery time was truly a breeze as promised. I’ve heard so many horror stories and was pleasantly surprised knowing it didn’t apply to me! The day of the procedure I didn’t feel pain whatsoever along with the days following. By the next morning, I had no swelling at all. Within a couple of days I was back to my normal routine! Again, I have heard some bad experiences and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Alvarez knowing that I will never have to worry! Highly recommended for any type of dental work.

I have been here for so many visits I feel like I’m friends with everyone. I’ve never seen such a caring group of people in an office before. They are very professional but at the same time have that hospitality you never see anywhere anymore. My last appointment was for a root canal and he was just SO gentle and delicate, I didn’t even use gas! I’ve been to another dentist a long time ago that did a root canal and the entire thing was so painful it made me scared. I’m definitely cured from that now lol :) One more thing I was impressed with. my wisdom tooth that was extracted here was completely painless. I was hesitant about not being put under for that or at least have gas for it because of how weak I am when it comes to pain. I did not feel a single thing… amazing. I recommended it to my step dad and he already has had at least 3 visits. I recommend it to everyone.

I rarely come across perfect and professional care. I booked an appointment with Dr. Alvarez for a root canal, I was nervous and scared none the less. I’ve had bad experiences as a child and it stuck with me ever since. I like to begin by saying, I didn’t feel Dr. Alvarez at all, the guy is really good at his job. The steadies hands I have seen. After a few months I decided to get veneers, and guess what? I returned to the office, and they remembered my name. I only been there once and they remember my name, I can’t stress enough how great that makes a patient feel. The office staff was kind enough to tell me that Dr. Alvarez is booked and couldn’t do my veneers. He is human and very very busy. They gave me the choice to wait a few days or go with another top dentist in the office. Which was very nice of them, I went with another dentist and it was a great experience again. So what I am saying is, no matter who sees you there you’ll be happy with the end results. Thank you guys and if I could rate this practice 6 starts I would.
Ps I look forward to dental cleanings now

From the moment I walked in to Dr. Alvarez’s office I felt at ease. The receptionist was friendly and concise, and answered any questions I had. I was then quickly escorted to the dental chair by one of the dental assistants, Michelle. She was very kind and helped relieve any last anxiety I had lingering around. Once in the chair, Dr. Alvarez came by and sat with me and we spoke about my teeth. I had x-​rays done, he was very thorough and patient explaining what was going on in my mouth. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Alvarez, he gave me different options that I could work with. I left feeling secure, I absolutely recommend Dr. Alvarez and all his staff to everyone in Miami. Best dental experience i’ve ever had, I cannot wait to start my treatment! I’ll be back with my follow up review as the treatment progresses!

I don’t normally review things but I would like people to be aware that THIS PLACE IS A SCAM! They quoted me three different prices to do preventative maintenance work including, consultation, x-​rays and cleaning. They told me that I might need a «special» cleaning for an unknown amount to be determined after. Far different from the $ 89.00 and $ 55.00 specials that they quoted me on the phone. Office only cared about getting my insurance money. They called me 5 times just so they can get my social security # over the phone (perhaps for identity theft?). I’ll pay the extra money and go to a reputable dentist. Moral of the story: don’t go with the cheap guy… Total bait and switch.

I feel that I should warn people about the long term results of treatment I received in 2005. After years of avoiding a dentist due to being in college and not having insurance I finally made an appointment with Dr. Alvarez. The initial appointment went great — I was seen by Dr. Alvarez and told that I had numerous cavities. I booked appointments for these to be filled and was under the impression that I would be seeing Dr. Alvarez. When I went in I was worked on by somoene I had no familiarity with. The receptionist or whoever books the appointments didn’t even tell me that I would be seeing a different dentist. I think a total of three different people gave me filings and the last time I was sure they were filling a cavity that had already been worked on before by a different person. They made me feel like cattle the way they handled their patients so impersonally and were evasive when I asked for a copy of my x-​rays. I had to request this multiple times and got the runaround.
Fast forward to 2012: I was getting a root canal from an endodontist in my new homestate who gave me an examination and remarked that my fillings would need to be redone in the next couple of years. Fillings redone?! I’ve never, ever needed to have fillings redone in my life and I’ve had cavities filled since I was a child. Being a young adult and trying to make ends meet is difficult enough but having to get fillings redone that I paid plenty for already made me pretty upset.
One of the fillings got loose and eventually fell out and half of a tooth broke. Luckily there were more skilled dentists and DMDs in my new homestate who pulled the remainder of the tooth and now I have to wear a partial. Not the kind of outcome I was expecting when I shelled out for dental work as a broke college student. Take my advice; go somewhere else.

I went in to get my wisdom teeth removed I felt 0 pain. The best ever. The dentists I’ve been to were harsh and they just wanted to get me out of there to take the next person. Very fast food chain like… Not Dr. Alvarez he took his time and was always asking if I felt any pain. I ended going back to have gum tissue graft which could be pretty painful, but I received the same excellent quality as before.
The staff is always friendly and attentive. Their office was so great I continued going to get orthodontic work done. To get painless dental work done I’ve traveled to see Dr. Alvarez from the Dadeland area to N. Miami Beach. They’re office is THAT OUTSTANDING!!!
