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.

I received a new prescription for glasses from Dr. Rivera. I had trouble seeing with my new glasses. The eye strain was terrible. I took the glasses back. The technician checked the glasses. They were made correctly BUT my new prescription was Weaker than my old prescription That is why I could not see. I will never go back to Dr. Rivera ever again!

I went to Dr Rivera for precise information on the health of my eyes. He was pleasant, comprehensive, and professional. He provided the confidence I needed on the future of my sight and just what my risks might be.

Excellent doctor, kind and considerate. He explains everything in easy to understand detail. He did my cataract surgery and diagnosed my detached retina (giant tear) and scheduled my surgery with himself and a terrific retinal specialist for 2 days later. He's smart, very sharp, great bedside manner and personable. I am lucky to have found him and will continue to work with him in the future...on my other up and coming cataract. Thank you Dr. Rivera. You are awesome.

Recently saw Dr Rivera. He was absolutely excellent. He not only did my diabetic eye exam, but he also explained the Prism and its need/strength. I have not found a doctor of this great quality in 40 years! I recommend him highly BUT be careful of the office staff! Dr Rivera is fantastic. Dr Rivera explained my medical condition without medical jargon and understandably. He took the time needed to do the exams. I recommend this doctor very highly.
