We Didn't Move Here. We Grew Up Here With You.
220 N Riverside Ave has been home to Michael Alvarez, DDS, for over 35 years. Rialto isn't a market we serve—it's the community we belong to. General, cosmetic & orthodontic care for every generation of your family. Call (909) 875-6400 or book online today.
This Isn't a Branch Office. Rialto Is Where We Started — and Where We Stay.
A lot of dental groups follow the population. They open locations where the numbers look right, staff them with rotating associates, and move on when the economics shift. Dr. Alvarez did something different: he chose Rialto in 1987 and never left.
When you call Michael Alvarez, DDS, you reach an office that has been at the same address — 220 N Riverside Ave — for over three decades. The same doctor. The same commitment. The kind of practice where staff remember your kids' names and ask about the things you mentioned last time.
