If you have an urgent question or possible emergency between the hours of 8:00am and 9:00pm and you are a client, you may phone Dr. Alvarez at 203-451-2714. Leave a message and then a follow-up text (as messages won’t come in sometimes if there is no cell service). You can expect most phone calls to be returned immediately. If you do not receive a return phone call immediately (may occur when out of cell service zones) and you believe you have an emergency, please phone one of the numbers below.
