Dr. Lilia Alvarez

Ever since she was a young woman Lilia knew she wanted to get in to medicine. When she was 12 years old her uncle graduated from Optometry School and began practicing in Central El Paso. She would love to hang out at his office and learn about the tools and frames and instruments. It was there her passion for Optometry was discovered and still burns within her today.

Dr. Alvarez grew up in El Paso and is a graduate of Coronado High School. After graduating from the University of Houston College of Optometry she spent 5 years working at William Beaumont Army Medical Center before joining her uncle Dr. Ramon Alvarez Jr at his practice for 20 years. In July 2019 she opened her beautiful new Vision Source location where her Uncle is now the one hanging out and helping with patients.

Dr. Alvarez has been married for 18 years. Her husband is a Head and Neck Surgeon and works right alongside her at the practice offering BOTOX and Fillers and other facial aesthetics. Dr. Alvarez loves travel especially to Spain. The food, culture, people, atmosphere are just so beautiful she can never get enough. She also loves to cook Spanish food along with Mexican – but she’s more than willing to attempt anything. An avid bowler with a high score of 278, she’s also recently taken up golf and enjoys playing rounds with her husband.
