overcame it.
attention during medical school
due to the fact that it was not only
the most competitive specialty to
get into and the surgeons training me were revered as “the best”,
but it was the ability to work on
every part of the body and really
focus on the “art form” that captured me. It was the finesse that
it required that captivated me.
Latin Times Magazine: What
inspired you to be a Doctor?
Dr. Alvarez: Well there is no
question that my early exposure
to the medical field was a defining aspect of my passion for medicine. I distinctly remember going
to the hospital with my father on
a regular basis because due to his
extremely busy schedule it was a
way for me to spend time with
him. After seeing my first open
heart surgery at the age of 10, I
knew then that there was nothing else I wanted to do than to
be a surgeon. The ability to know
what I wanted in a career at such
a young age gave me the ability to
focus and achieve my goals by the
age of 32. Plastic surgery got my

Veterans,
tell
us how you help them?
Dr. Alvarez: During my time in
Tampa I volunteered my time to
teach the special operation combat medics (SOCM) before they
deployed overseas. Being in residency is a full time commitment
so I had to find a way that would
not interrupt my training. I really
felt compelled to fulfill my sense
of duty and it was the SOCM
program that gave me direct
contact with our military service members. After graduating
I wanted to continue this service
and the VA is one of those ways
I give back. I spend 2 days out of

Who has been your greatest inspiration and hero?
Dr. Alvarez: My father was no
doubt my biggest role model
and the one that always pushed
me to do what I wanted and to
do it at the best of my ability.
Even though he was a physician,
it wasn’t his desire that I follow
his footsteps rather that I choose
something that I was passionate about and be the best that I
could be. His ability to make a
better life for his family and truly live out his dreams has always
been inspiring. He is my hero.
