I really can't say enough good things about Dr Kotev. My 13…read moreyear old Scottie was diagnosed with a perianal tumor that grew very large in a short amount of time. He was in pain, uncomfortable and barely sleeping during the night. Our vet refused to operate because of the size and the location of the tumor. The doh also has a heart murmur, which would make a surgery more complicated. He sent us home with painkillers telling us to keep him comfortable for the short amount of time he has left. I brought him to another vet who said the same thing. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Kotev. I brought the dog to him. Dr Kotev did the surgery couple of days later. He did phenomenal work. It's been 3 months now, and I have the happiest and healthiest dog ever! No pain, no discomfort, and he is more energetic and happier than ever! Dr. Kotev, your kindness, knowledge and surgical skills are greatly appreciated! From all my heart - thank you!

A friend of mine recommended Dr Kotev and I am so glad we went to him. He's the most knowledgeable and kind vet! He saved our chihuahua which had a bloated tummy full of gas that was causing her pain. Before seeing DR Kotev no other vet was able to properly diagnose our dog. He prescribed medicine which helped and has saved us from surgery. He's very caring and will answer all of your concerns. Keep up the great work! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

As Oct. is breast cancer awareness month, I figured this would be a timely review. I went for the…read morefirst time last year (every woman should have a baseline mammogram at age 35, and then yearly starting at 40). Pretty terrified, actually. I've heard that mammograms are excruciatingly painful. And, sitting around in that stupid hospital-issue gown (with black socks!) doesn't do much for your dignity. But let me tell you -- the technicians put me at ease right away. Very friendly and explained the procedure step-by-step. The breast compression, while not comfortable, proved not to be the torture I'd imagined. The tech went slowly, and said she'd stop if it got too painful for me. (Staffers even entertained my infant outside, since she wasn't allowed in the room) When the x-rays came back inconclusive, they called right away and asked me to come back ASAP. I started to freak out, but the woman explained that a lot of women have dense tissue that requires a closer look for the first mammogram. Thankfully, I got a clean bill of health. My next appt. is in a couple of weeks. Now for the public service announcement: ladies, go get yourself checked out. You don't have to come here, just go. It's not something to dread. The discomfort is momentary and in the big picture, this could well save your life.

Two weeks ago I had total hip replacement perfomed by Dr. Alvi. From my first diagnostic visit…read morewith him, through the surgery, and now during the recovery process, I have been impressed with his ability to put me at ease prior to surgery, his fluency with the surgery, and his reassurances during the recovery. I am awed and delighted that I have been comfortably moving about, showering, following the physical therapy exercises, and doing light household tasks with the slightest of pain for the first few days and none to speak of thereafter. His clear explanation of the process and his expertise have provided me with a very positive outcome.
