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 had a great personality and treated me with caring respect. He seemed to really care about my condition. His staff was excellent! He has really helped me.

Poor management of pain
I have been with this clinic in excess of 5 years for pain management due to spinal cord injury and would go anywhere else if there were any other options nearby. I have been jerked around by them many times. Getting prescription refills is a zoo. You might get to see the doctor on your first visit, but then you are passed to a PA who is essentially a medical clerk who signs your approval for prescriptions at mandatory 3-month intervals.

Terrible. He treated me like I was a drug addict and needed to go to rehab. Excuse me for having a brain tumor then 2 months after surgery having a fall down the stairs resulting in a 10cm hematoma. My pain was under control with the meds I was on. He treated me like garbage and all he worried about was that I didn't come back for a second nerve block. The first one was worthless and why didn't he rearrange his schedule so I didn't have to miss work? And by the way, I didn't have to go to rehab, I got off Norco with no issues. You quacks seem to forget you WORK FOR US. I am controlling my pain in a legal way no thanks to you and our worthless government. Patti Braun
