Dr. Alvarez is the youngest of three children born to parents, who came to the United States from Colombia
in the 1960's. Since a young age, his parents instilled a strong sense
of values, morals, and ethics that make him the professional man he is
today. In fact, all three children went on to be professionals, as both
his sisters are physicians.
Born in Queens, and raised in Long Island,
Dr. Alvarez worked hard to graduate with multiple honors and national
awards from high school, and was subsequently admitted to the
prestigious seven year combined BA/DDS program at New York University.
While at NYU, Dr. Alvarez excelled at both surgical and cosmetic
procedures. Once again graduating in the top of his class, he went on to
complete a post graduate residency training program at Montefiore
Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In 2009, Dr. Alvarez was admitted, and subsequently received a degree in Acupuncture from Harvard Medical School. A course designed for Physicians only, Dr. Alvarez was the sole dentist in his class.
For nearly 14 years, Dr. Alvarez has been refining his talents in the
art of cosmetic dentistry. He has become a full fellow of the World
Clinical Laser Institute, the most respected organization dedicated to
the advancement of lasers in dentistry. He has also lectured both
domestically and internationally on the topic of laser dentistry, and
for Oraverse®, a dental anesthetic reversal agent. In addition, he is
also certified in the placement of dermal fillers, for lip augmentation
and reduction of facial wrinkles and is also certified in the use of Botox® and Dysport® and acupuncture treatments.
Owing a sense of gratitude to
those who serve us, Dr. Alvarez is a Police Surgeon for both the New
York State Troopers PBA and Amtrak Police Department PBA. Currently,
Dr. Alvarez happily practices a profession he loves in his cozy midtown
office.
