Dr. Julio Rivera, MD

The experience went smoothly and quickly. Dr. Rivera is very knowledgeable and confident. The nurses and other doctors associated with my surgery were all exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. I am glad I chose Dr. Rivera.

Dr. Rivera is kind, knowledgeable and highly skilled. Clearly communicated the threat I was facing, the procedure being recommended, and the risks associated. He was always respectful, attentive and helpful. The surgery was complicated, but he handled it flawlessly!

Dr. Rivera was outstanding. I cannot recommend him enough. His skills are unparalleled.

Had a great experience with Dr. Rivera, He was thorough and got me to better health quickly.

Dr. Rivera performed emergency gall bladder surgery on me. I could not have asked for a more compassionate and skilled surgeon. He kept me and my family informed through the entire process. I highly recommend him and his staff!

Dr. Rivera recently removed my gall bladder. I had met with him a few times prior to the surgery and appreciated that he took the time to explain the process and answer all the questions my wife and I had about the procedure. He is compassionate, professional, and an excellent surgeon. By my follow-up appointment two weeks post-surgery, my incisions were nicely healing and 2 of the 3 were barely visible. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery.

Dr. Rivera is a great doctor and surgeon. His staff was kind and helpful. He took great care of me before, during, and after my gallbladder surgery. Highly recommend him

We truly cannot thank Dr. Rivera enough for the fantastic job he did performing my surgery. This was my third hernia operation, the first two were performed by a different surgeon. It is very unfortunate that I did not use Dr. Rivera from the beginning. Not only did he do a GREAT job, the surgery became extremely complicated due to the mesh from a prior surgery being entangled. Dr. Rivera has a wonderful bedside manner and I was amazed that he also received praises from my wife. We felt he actually CARED about us and the final outcome of my recovery. There really are not enough kind words to describe our experience with this surgeon. I highly recommend him to anyone considering a surgery.

Outstanding work. Had gallbladder removal and he was very attentive, kind and informative. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Rivera was awesome. he explained the procedure I needed in clear and concise words. The surgery went very well. The surgery was as painless as possible and the follow-up was very good as well. I highly recommend his services.

Great job on my two hernias. Was a bit nervous going in and it was smooth as can be. I would recommend

After arriving at the ER with severe pain. A cat scan revealed it was my appendix. My surgery was scheduled with Dr. Julio Rivera. He very kindly explained the surgery and what to expect as well as reassuring me I was in good hands. I immediately felt calm. Upon being released I was told to call the Dr. a week later. The second day of my recovery he personally called to check on me and on the 6th day called again. I would highly recommend Dr. Rivera. He is courteous, respectful, caring and knowledgeable in his field. My overall experience was complete satisfaction.

Was told i couldnt do cash but upon arrival was told i had to use insurance and i was told wrong by 2 people. Was told they dont do procedures in the office id have to go to a hospital to remove a cyst/boil but yet i was placed in a procedure room. Barely looked at it. Felt like he didn't want to treat me and the visit was rehearsed. Very disappointed and makes me not trust doctors at all. Very dissatisfied and disappointed in how i was treated at this office.

Dr. Rivera was knowledgeable and caring. He fully explained my condition and the type of surgery I needed. He and his office were always available to take my questions. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Rivera has a special way of relating to patients in a professional yet kind manner. He performed some difficult gall bladder surgery on me recently. Some complications because of my age, but all went well. I would certainly recommend this doctor to all.

It's very apparent to me that Dr. Rivera is in medicine to help people, never treated me like a number but as a person with lots of questions who needed answers and relief. A big shout-out to Vienay too, as she was able to get my surgery scheduled quickly and helped me get the answers I needed. I'm so appreciative of Dr. Rivera and his entire staff at Surgical Group of North Texas.

Dr. Rivera was prompt and thorough in diagnosing the need for my surgery. His concern was genuine, I felt that he had my best interest in mind. I asked many questions and he answered them carefully, assuring I understood the procedure; I never felt rushed.

Very professional and caring. Took time for full explanations. Did a great job on my robotic/laparoscopic hernia repair surgery! Highly recommended.

Dr. Rivera did my single-site cholecystectomy back in 2016 and it was the quickest, easiest recovery I’ve ever had from a surgery. I had surgery on Wednesday and was back to work on Monday!

Having never had surgery before, I feel lucky to have had Dr. Rivera as my surgeon. He discussed with me the risks and side effects of the surgery and allowed me to make educated choices. He was very thorough about what to expect during recovery, and his staff were lovely, professional, and attentive. He was also easily available to contact in emergencies or if I had concerns. Not to mention I am feeling 100% better than I felt before surgery! I would recommend this office every time.
