A. Glaser, Breast Reconstruction Patient
September, 2016
Dr. Clavijo was always very thorough in explaining all my treatment options, his recommendations, and answering every question I had. His bedside manner, attention to detail, and compassion for what he does is reflected in every aspect of my experience with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone and am in love with the work he has done on me. He worked very closely with my breast cancer surgeon and was very highly recommended to me. He was the best decision in my journey of breast reconstruction and my road to physical recovery :) realself.com

Adrienne, Mommy Makeover Patient
December 15, 2016
Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez is truly an excellent plastic surgeon. I just had a mommy makeover done by him less than 2 weeks ago and even though my results aren't final, I am already so pleased with the results! He did a fantastic job and has always taken his time with me at every appointment I had with him. I have recommended him to my friends and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon in the Pittsburgh area. You will not be disappointed. He is truly the best! healthgrades.com
