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.

Awful experience
A few years back I was about 4 months pregnant. Had a very healthy pregnancy so far and then he gave me a painful transvaginal ultrasound. And told me that if I started bleeding the next day to call him because I was probably having a miscarriage, sure enough the next morning I had the miscarriage and told me to bring the baby in a bag or container with alcohol so he could test and find out what was wrong, ended up throwing it away in the trash instead right in front of me and told me maybe I could have a child when I'm married. I could go on and on about the awful experience I had with him. It's been 3 years and I'm still traumatized.

Dr. Rivera is wonderful. He is the only doctor in my entire life that has listened to my problems and found the cause and solution. He is very understanding and know what is going on with my body before I can even tell him. Wonderful nurses as well.

Dr. Rivera is my favorite Doctor of all time!!! I've seen doctors for many different things. I'm also a 36 year old Mother of 5 children total, while at age 19 I was told I would never have children! Dr. Rivera is absolutely a miracle worker! He treats each and every patient like they are his only patient. He is caring, he is concerned, he is extremely observant and attentive, he is unbelievably qualified with very impressive skills and experience. Above all else he is absolutely the VERY BEST!!
