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. Rivera is one of the old school physicians who truly treats medicine as a vocation. He makes his patients feel extra special and always shows them dignity and patience.

I have been a patient of Dr Rivera for 15 years. Very responsive to my needs. Like all Drs now he has been forced by Obama Care to use PAs but when I have needed to talk to him directly no problem at all. He is very busy so scheduling a routine appointment with him can be a problem unless you plan ahead at least 6 months but that is the case with 90% of my Doctors.

I've been a patient of Dr. Rivera for over a year now, have never even seen him. He uses nurse practioners to see, as far as i know, all of his patients. I have an urgent care issue that I have, called the office at 9:30 in the morning, never heard back from him or his staff. Not at all responsive to patients suffering.
