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.
He is my Doctor and has been for a few years, and don't want another again but him, he is very caring, listens, and can be trusted to care for you. I've never had any complaints toward him nor his Staff, and his wonderful respitionist MS Wonda. Thank you guys for being the best for me and caring and also trustworthy. Rebecca Shores

I am very grateful for finding Dr Rivera. To my surprise the routine testing which he requested was not so routine after all. And honestly is something I would have not followed thru with on my own.

Dr Rivera’s bedside manners are wonderful. He and his staff make you feel very comfortable at all times.
Dr Rivera has been my Dr for 10 years. He WILL spend whatever necessary time with you to answer questions,
listens and then explains everything so I can understand my diagnosis and how to monitor it.
He is very personable and I trust his guidance.
