Welcome
Dear Patient,
We have always prioritized the safety of our patients, and in these uncertain times, this is no different. That’s why we are practicing more than ever and enforcing best practices for social distancing and self- isolation in the midst of COVID 19.
During the previous weeks we have been working in making the clinic safe and functional for our patients again under new circumstances. As you know, safe recommendations- including those for our patients and staff can and will likely change in accordance to CDC. We are carefully monitoring the situation, and, at this moment, we can say that we are reopening by the first week of July 2020
Here are some changes to expect when visiting us:
- All staff and patients will have their temperature taken before entering the facility.
- Face masks/ face coverings are required for personnel and patients upon entering facility
- We kindly remind that only patients receiving treatment will be allowed into the treatment room.
- Breakfasts will be served in disposables.
- Treatment room is equipped with acrylic dividers between recliners
- Sanitization station at the clinic entrance with hand sanitizer and sanitizing mat for shoes
Since we are limiting capacity of patients in the treatment room, our clinic hours might be extended accordingly.
We are thinking about all our patients and look forward to serving you in a near future. Thank you again for your patience while we are transitioning with these new guidelines and taking extra care in making our facility the safest it can be for you.
Take care and stay well.
Regards,
Dr. Gilberto Alvarez

OUR PATIENTS SPEAK...
Patients testimonials
I am doing well and fully back into my busy life after I left the Stella Maris Clinic in February. I spent a lot of my recovery truly resting and eating well. All of those weeks and months were in an environment of little or no stress, which I am sure, made a big difference.
I am so grateful for everything you did for me at the clinic — not only did the treatment seem to work amazingly well on the cancer, but on my body as a whole.
I hope all is well for everyone there. I’m sending you all my very best wishes and blessings.

After our first visit to your clinic M was essentially cancer-free and still further confirmation came from the results of PET scan and chest X-ray. It thus appears that you were more successful than you had supposed. Please extend our kindest wishes to Ofelia, Idania, and of course, your wife Linda.

Happy Holidays,
I wish to thank you and your staff for the fine treatment you afforded me during my stay in Mexico. I have been feeling better each day, even quit the pain tablets. Hopefully you have me on the right path to complete recovery. Please convey my deepest appreciation, not only to yourself and Linda, but to your staff, especially Ofelia. Feliz Navidad !
