Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Rivara was very professional, great listener, knowledgeable and gave me detailed information regarding the US reports. I would say he is a 5 star Physician and he and his M.A are great assets to the clinic and company

Dr Rivara, has been a blessing in my life. I truly believe I'm one of the worse cases he may of seen and he or other obgyn drs have never gave up on me. The complications that I have, Dr Rivera has always treated me with the out most respect,stayed positive and always explain medical terms to me when I had a hard time connecting of what he was explaining. I still have some issues, but nothing compare to what it was. I got sick 10 yrs ago with TB and dignity health has not ever gave up on me.

Today was my first appointment with Dr. Rivara. What a pleasant experience. The front office staff were very friendly and professional. Dr. Rivara spent close to an hour asking relevant questions. Once a course of action was determined, he very thoroughly explained options so we could discuss and pick what was best for me. He was very willing to answer all of my questions both verbally and visually by utilizing the posters in the exam room. Thank you!

Dr. Rivara is the absolute best Doctor!!! I sent him Sunday June 19, 2022 in the ER at St Joe's Hospital for a very painful situation that had me extremely uncomfortable. He listened, was very understanding and explained everything that he was going to do. I have used the same GYN for 29 years and travel very far because I never felt comfortable with any other. I am definitely going to switch to Dr. Rivara as my new Gyn...Thank you so much for everything you do!!
