His medical school training was at the prestigious Universidad Autonoma of Guadalajara. He was top of his class and this earned him clinical rotations in exotic locations like Baja California and the Mayan state of Chiapas. He describes his experience and medical education as “the best” because everything was hands on learning; he became skilled and knowledgeable with minimal amount of resources.
He completed his five year general surgery residency at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in the Greenwich Village, New York City. St. Vincent reached international recognition for treating the highest volume of World Trade Center patient on September 11, 2001. During this training, academically he served as a chief resident, and a leader in trauma, vascular and acute care surgery. From a practice style, he learned to his open practice style.
His passion for learning continued and he returned Texas to train under the renowned world famous surgeon Dr. Morris Franklin. Dr. Allen Alvarez mastered his skills as an advanced laparoscopic surgeon. He is well respected by his peers and surgeons across the world have come to his operating room suites to be trained and mentored by him.

Thank you Dr. Alvarez!
Dr. Alvarez is the “best!”
Had my sleeve done on Feb 10 of this year and he rocked it. He treats you like a human being and not a paycheck. I asked him what he did to me because I am feeling so good and he replied. “I PRAYED for you. “ He is a amazing doc and now friend.
