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.

There is not much of choice
The practice is very well organized. Employees are nice and efficient. Dr Rivera needs to treat patients with respect, care and compassion during the little time he spends with each one. Have the courtesy of looking in the eyes, a greeting, a bit of a smile wouldn't hurt, if he has some to spare.

Extremely skilled, great results
Very knowledgeable and skilled. Great office and OR team. I had been twice in his hands for different conditions, and recovery after surgery had been amazingly fast after a complex spine surgery. 100% reccommended.

Dr. Rivera doesn't spend enough time with the patient to hear they have to say. He doesn't make different questions about how the patient is doing after the surgery. He just put on his notes the patient is ok without making any tests.
