About Alexander J. Alvarez, MD, FAAAAI, FACAAI

  • Dr. Alvarez is a native Austinite. When he is not working, Dr. Alvarez enjoys jogging, traveling, hiking, spending time outdoors, and “enjoying life with my family.” Among his favorite locales are Lady Bird Lake and the Texas Hill Country.

I chose to become a physician to make a difference in people’s lives. It is a privilege to care for patients of all ages and see their health improve under my care. Being an Allergist and Immunologist gives me the opportunity to provide excellent treatment options to improve my patient’s health and quality of life. Treating the underlying allergic conditions with targeted therapies allows me to address the source of the patient’s disease instead of just the symptoms. I seek to provide evidence-based, high-quality, personalized care to all of my patients.
