Words From Our Patients

Dr. Alarcio is the best!

Dr. Alarcio is the best!

"Dr. Alarcio has been instrumental in figuring out what would help my daughter with her developmental delays. Just two months after our first visit, she had progressed dramatically. All of her preschool teachers & family members were amazed! This kind of progress was not ever seen before in her and I 100% attribute it to Dr. Alarcio's advice. I will forever be thankful to Dr. Alarcio!"

A doctor who truly cares.

A doctor who truly cares.

“Dr. Alarcio was the first and only neurologist who spent over an hour interacting, speaking, and bonding with her patient. She not only gained patient trust but mine as well. She ordered all tests, including genetics because she believes in finding the root cause before treating symptoms and we did not know the root. She found it... Those are the first important steps. Knowing the root cause of any condition means your doctor doesn't waste time, money, or pharma bandaids on you that won't work. Dr. Alarcio is not like most doctors. She is a whole-body problem solver, not a single symptom solver. Her methods, understanding, and knowledge have started my son's healing process and she will continue to guide us as we go.”
