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.

He figured out what was wrong that I spent a week in hospital and they couldn’t solve. If not for him I probably would have lost a kidney.

Dr Rivera is one of the most caring Doctors I have had. He takes his time and listens to you. I never feel rushed when I see him. I would definitely recommend him! Plus his staff is just as amazing!

Dr. Rivera saved my life several year ago! He knew my symptoms and xrays did not fit diagnosis at hospital in another county so he had me Life Flighted to former MCO where it as discovered I had Legionairres Disease. I would have died if not for his quick thinking! He is so down to earth and easy to talk to which is rare in a doctor today! We will never change doctors!!!

He is a fraud. He has no real medical skills besides spilling out medical book terms. He easily gets frustrated when you ask questions and he never has helped me recover when I've had him as a physician. I always have to go back to see another "real" doctor with "real" medical skills. This guy here is a quack and if he tells all his patients nothing is wrong with them and they're perfectly healthy when they're actually not, how many lawsuit cases will follow after he kills his patients.

I don't feel like he cared or listened to my concerns. Two other Dr's wanted me transferred to another hospital, and Dr Rivera discharged me home anyway. So here I sit, nothing resolved, still in pain.
