He completed his internship and residency at University of Puerto Rico District Hospital in San Juan, a very busy and challenging experience at a major city program.
When Dr. Alvarez finished his residency he married his wife Grisel and they moved to Bradenton in 1994. He immediately found this area to be home and went to work in a private practice.
