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.

Awesome Dr.! My kids love her and she is very professional and knowledgeable.

Got my son back to healthy. After having him sick from birth to a year old and seeing another Dr multiple times a Week. I switched him over to Dr. Rivera who got him back on track with his medications and treatments. He is now healthy and strong. Love her new office, she's been there about a year.

i see dr. daniela rico in same establishment. dr. rivera is terrible. she misdiagnosed my child with scabies & prescribed some very toxic cream to treat it. after my uncertainty with the diagnosis i googled images of skin condition & when i took her to another doctor they said it was a wrong diagnosis. she also has a terrible bed-side manner. she presents herself as superior & doesn't even seem to really like children, at least she is not good at interacting with them. nor is she compassionate
