Dr. Kristin Mckenzie Alves

My son hurt his ankle. We went to Wake Ortho and went to the website first to see their Covid requirements. The website said clearly at the top - "Masks are requested for Patients". Requested NOT required! The front desk was nice enough until we declined to wear a mask. We went back and forth and explained what their own website said. They said it was up to the provider and she said we must wear them. Dr. Alves came in and had pretty awful bedside manner and she wasn't the least bit friendly or warm to my son. She was even less friendly after I questioned if we could wait on an X-ray. She brushed off my concerns and her attitude was a total turn off. Her tech, Christine, however, was wonderful and kind and talked me through waiting on an X-ray and fitted him for a boot to wait and see. Just wanted to share my experience because I was disappointed and angry when we left. Pretty poor example of a "Pediatric" doctor, in my opinion.

Dr. Alves was absolutely amazing. She saw my daughter for a crooked toe problem and within 2 seconds knew what was wrong and knew the solution to fix it. She had such confidence going into the surgery it made us feel comfortable she was the right dr. for our 14 month old daughter. She was very good about thoroughly explaining everything and following up with us multiple times. Overall we could not have asked for a better experience at Wake Orthopaedics and Wake Med Hospital. Would definitely recommend. Dr. Alves was absolutely amazing. She saw my daughter for a crooked toe problem and within 2 seconds knew what was wrong and knew the solution to fix it.

Dr. Alves is a fantastic doctor. She clearly explained treatment options to me and my 12 year old daughter. On surgery day she made sure all our questions were answered. Post surgery she showed us x-rays taken at different points through the procedure and gave us clear instructions for aftercare. She's friendly and put my daughter at ease through the entire process. Highly recommend her for pediatric orthopedic needs! Dr. Alves is a fantastic doctor. She clearly explained treatment options to me and my 12 year old daughter.

Our daughter was born with a severely crooked big toe and wasn’t getting any better as she was growing. We took her to see Dr. Alves and immediately she knew what was wrong and how it needed to be fixed. She was very thorough in explaining everything to us and we get so comfortable putting our toddler into her hands. Overall she made it such an easy experience and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Alves is fantastic! She performed surgery on my 12 y.o. Sons toe. Her bedside manner with my son and with me was so calm and kind. Super smart and super friendly!
