About

Dr. Marcy Alvarez, a Board Certified Dermatologist, practices in Miami Beach, Florida, at 1680 Michigan Ave, 10th FL. Her practice has been operating for 13 years. Dr. Alvarez believes that caring for one's skin begins with understanding it, and she recommends seeking the support of a dermatologist for achieving clear skin. Her areas of care include general dermatology, acne and rosacea treatment, cosmetic dermatology, and dermatologic surgery, with a focus on Medical Cosmetic Surgery Laser. Dr. Alvarez utilizes a dermatoscope for detailed skin examinations, observing features not visible to the naked eye to help identify changes that may indicate skin cancer. She also uses liquid nitrogen to treat warts, sebaceous cysts, skin spots, and some early skin cancer lesions. For sun protection, Dr. Alvarez's practice favors ISDIN SPF, noting it is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and 100% mineral, making it a top choice for Miami’s sun. The office also carries natural volcanic sulfur soaps, considered effective for cleansing skin of dirt and oil buildup to promote a healthy complexion. She advises consulting a dermatologist when using active ingredients, especially for sensitive skin.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$160

Payments

6

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Marcy Alvarez received $160 across 6 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
