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.

A doctor who truly listens
I recently had an appointment with Dr. Rivard and came in feeling anxious and confused about my symptoms. From the moment we began talking, she truly listened — not just to my words, but to my concerns. She asked thoughtful questions to understand my situation fully and took the time to explain everything clearly and compassionately. Her professionalism, clinical expertise, and warm, nurturing manner made all the difference in my experience. I left feeling informed, reassured, and deeply cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Rivard to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate OBGYN.

Amazing per usual
Dr. Rivard maintained her amazing bed side manner as always. I have been a patient of her’s for more than 9 years and have never had any complaints. I told her she can’t retire any time soon since I trust her with my life.

PLACES A PRIORITY ON LISTENING TO YOU
The thing about Dr. Rivard that makes her so special is that she takes the time to talk with you. You leave there feeling valued and not just a faceless person on a conveyor belt going through the process of the medical world. Every visit I have had with her has been top notch. I know that she is a doctor that goes out of her way to provide the best care for you. I am so fortunate that I have her as my doctor and I appreciate her more than words can say.

Knowledgeable, Discerning, and Kind
Dr. Rivard is knowledgeable, discerning and kind. Yesterday I had my annual exam with Dr. Rivard. During my examination, she was thorough and gentle. She analyzed how other aspects of my health influenced or impacted my gynecological health. I highly recommend Dr. Rivard! She has always maintained high standards of care for herself, nurses, PA's, and staff.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Rivard for over you years. She delivered my youngest over 20 years ago. She listens to her patients and truly cares about your overall health.

I saw Dr. Rivard this week for my annual gynecological exam, mammogram and bi-annual bone density test. Everyone who works at this practice is top notch - friendly, professional, and efficient. Dr. Rivard is the the best doctor I have ever experienced. Her manner is always warm and caring; she shares a lot of information with her patients; it is obvious she keeps up with the latest information available in her field; and she listens to what her patients say to her. I came to Dr. Rivard on the recommendation of a friend because the gynecologist I had been seeing was cold and impersonal. My friend spoke highly of Dr. Rivard and I have been extremely pleased.

I just received my first annual and Dr.Rivard made me feel completely comfortable. Although annual exams can feel awkward, she made my first annual a great experience. She thoroughly explains everything that’s happening before and during your examination. She listens and asks me if I have any questions and I never feel rushed with her. The care that she gives makes you feel like you’re her only patient. Something that I like about Dr.Rivard is that she is so reassuring especially when I get nervous about something. I feel comfortable asking her any questions and I’ve never felt judged for asking. She is an excellent doctor. I have been going to her for almost a year now and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for an OB/GYN. She’s definitely top-notch.

Dr Rivard has been my Ob/GYN for 20 years. She is a champion for my health as she cares deeply about the health and well-being of her patients. I am cancer-free bc her persistence. One of best qualities-she makes you feel like you are her only patient for that day. Never rushed. All questions are answered. Very thorough and up-to-date on all the latest treatments. Highly recommended.

Dr. Rivard is the absolute best! I have been her patient for over 5 years now. She is very knowledgeable and very caring. She explains what shes's doing as she performs procedures. She delivered my daughter by C-section and ended up fixing some previous scaring I had from a previous surgery- it was such a pleasant surprise. I had recently had to have IVF monitoring and she has been able to assist with this as well. She really is an Angel on Earth.
